=================HOW TO UPDATE TO 3.6=================
Made the account just to help the rest of u guys. If your STELLARIS IS NOT UPDATED TO 3.6 you missed a file on this page! The file is NOT next to the usual "part1/2/3/4" files , scrolled higher up and as long as you PAY ATTENTION , above the system requirements you will see a tiny section called "Update 3.6". Download it and simply install it, read the instructions in it.
This is probably the case for a lot of the games on this site , i myself am gonna start double checking the whole page now. I had no idea about this until i couldnt find a clear answer in the chat so i started analysis the page. YOURE WELCOME wasted 10 mins typing this for you , i NEVER comment on the internet, this is my first on any site including youtube and reddit. Go play your up to date pirated games you scrub :P
Im gonna make an account just to comment here... If ur first downloading this AFTER u extract everything MAKE SURE to look for the FOLDER DLC and install them one by one theres around 19dlc AFTER THAT go update your game if u update ur game u wont be able to INSTALL the dlc then Ta-Dah you have all dlc with the lastest update
NOW IF U WANT TO PUT MODS Download them and put the folder here Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod And Copy paste the .MOD file from there change the name and put it on Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod So there will be the main folder of the mod and the .mod file
Open "launch stellaris.exe" Check if your mods are now enabled just make sure those mods are updated 3.6 i had to spent hours to fix this but if the mod is telling an error like "This archive path in the mod's descriptor file is invalid or does not exist."
Go to your mod folder and look for the one with this problem and OPEN AS "note bloc or whatever just to read the file" the .mod file u need to add or edit this. path="mod/(name of the mod folder)" Example: i have planet.mod(planet is the same name of the mod folder) i open as on a note bloc to add this path="mod/planet" save it and check on the stellaris launcher and it should be fixed enjoy ur game sorry my english is not my first language
By adding this game, with so many DLCs, you contributed greatly to the fact that I lost my job and to the breakup of my marriage. I hope you are pleased with yourself. This is EPIC
Before we start, sorry for any spelling mistakes. Stellaris still just as hard the last time it was a real purge to succeed in installing it properly here it's even worse so in the order of what is causing the problem there are no DLCs there are no there is no way to use it as an update of the previous one it makes the previous one which contained the DLC disappear Since there was the Gog launcher on the previous one and that there is more and well we can no longer put a mode no here all the issues so please i know you are doing your best to give us the best possible experience there are games that are being updated and added every day and i am probably talking bullshit but i think it's done by volunteers And in general when there are manipulations to be done after the download it's something that is extremely easy so I thank you very much but here for once it must be rare but on stellaris it doesn't didn't work The tutorials for installing or updating don't change anything since only the tutorial for installing can be used so unless you need a manipulation specifically specifically for this game, what is possible and well that does not work I tried to install it in several parts I tried via torrent I searched in the files to see if I had to do something to install the DLCs once installed it does not work I tried to regroup it with the old stellarist that I hadn't deleted it doesn't work I tried to follow the classic installation tutorial it doesn't work the update tutorial it doesn't work
run the "setup_stellaris_3.7.3_(63182).exe" file and install the base game
open the DLC folder and install each of the dlcs one by one
run the game (from the desktop shortcut or start menu shortcut or dowser.exe)
skip the account login and let the launcher update
after launcher is done restart launcher
click play after checking your dlcs are enable and game settings are good
start new game (make sure to select the same install location for the base game and dlcs) (there is a Bonus folder with other files like wallpapers etc but those aren't needed for the game)
This guide was for version 3.7.3 it might be different for future releases.
So let me make a conclusion of all those comments if you want to play this cracked Stellaris with DLCs and (optionally) MODs:
Unzip and install it.
After installation, copy all files under CODEX and paste them into the installation folder (where Stellaris.exe and dowser.exe locates).
(Optional) Edit steam_emu.ini (copied from CODEX). Set DLCUnlockall=1 if you want all DLCs enabled. Set Language=your_language if you want to change the language in game.
Use dowser.exe (the launcher) to configure DLCs and MODs, but don't use it to launch the game. Instead, directly open Stellaris.exe to start gaming. (This is different from the legal Steam version.)
To install new mods, download them from steamworkshopdownloader.io and unzip them (one folder/directory for one mod), then register your new mods:
For each mod you've unzipped: copy descriptor.mod to C:\Users<YourUsername>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod; rename the copied .mod file to whatever you like (but keep the .mod postfix); add one line to the copied .mod file:
path="<path to the place where you unzipped this mod, replace all \ to />"
Don't forget the quotes, and don't include "<" or ">" in your real .mod file.
Some MOD authors may leave their own "path" lines in their .mod file; delete these lines and keep there is only one "path" line (which is added by you, not the author) in one .mod file.
After handling all these .mod files, open dowser.exe to change mod settings (activating, sorting, etc). Then open Stellaris.exe to start your game with your newly downloaded MODs.
OMG I love this guy but I don't know why I enabled my mod in the launcher and open the game with stellaris.exe in the main folder my mod is not working
i would recomend downloading instead the torrent for stellaris off of https://pcgamestorrents.com/stellaris-galaxy-edition.html becose the files i downloaded from here were corrupted. remember to install the dlc before updating from 3.5.3 to 3.6 becose the DLC is version 3.5.3 only and cant be installed for 6.3, otherwise you will have to re-install stellaris 3.5.3 and its agonyzingly slow by todays standards, had to have my computer open for many hours installing it
I cannot do modding except korean language mod (cafe) . this launcher always block mod i use with say "invalid file or wrong direction", while i have use it well with same setting. can you guys do?
dlc works fine on my end. didn't need to do anything except mount the iso and hit install. not sure what you guys are whining about. crack didn't even have anything to do with it. i like rune's upload, as opposed to previous uploaders that made you install the gog dlc one by one. stupid
mount, do the install .exe, notice it's by Rune, copy crack is checkmarked, see around 80-100% the dlc folders begin to be added, double check after the install that there's a dlc folder where i put everything. that's all i did
edit ; perhaps it should be noted that i exclusively use megaup.net links, you can't rule out that somebody could have fucked up the uploads on other sites with a lesser version
did you install the game again from the beginning or did you update frm the previous version ? if you updated from the previous version where did you get the new patch ? is it this from the top of the download list : "Link Stellaris Galactic Paragons-RUNE TORRENT:" ? i din t want to fuckup my game as i noticed that people can not get the dlc's and i would need a bit of help
Personally I tried I didn't succeed (maybe it's just me who is stupid) but in any case to make sure you don't screw up your game I would advise you not to try to put it update for now and wait for someone to put a functional tutorial on YouTube because if you do like me and you can't do it you can fuck your part your modes the DLC you can fuck everything in the trash
Buy the game, the DLCs are expensive but so worth it, if really you don't have enough to pay or want to try, go ahead and have fun, it's the best game ! But if you can buy it, do it, it deserves its price.
As far as I can tell the "patch_stellaris_3.5.3_(59318)to_3.6.0.1(60397)" is corrupted in some way shape or form. It never makes any progress and seem to just perpetually run.
I would recommend waiting for another release from IGG before installing it. I have has cases where I let it run for 30 minutes or so and it "updates" the version but then I am missing a background picture, buttons, crashes, etc. there is a lot going on right now.
Please be patient so they can push another release for us. :)
Same, i think we might have to put a request in Game Request section. I dont think anyone will be aware of the problem through the comment section here.
so, here is no more attributing subjugation mod??? why developers keep making this game suck??? they are awful. maybe they doing experiment instead of let people enjoy game.
Don't like it revert. Paradox are great for allowing us to go back to virtually any version of the game with just a couple clicks. Oh right, you can't do that on pirated version, I sail the seven seas as much anyone else here, but if you want to complain because you can't revert on pirated, buy the game instead. (you can pirate the DLC tbh and paradox could always use those 40 euros since they're not that big)
Yes paradox experiments, and it's great, users give feedback, what works is reinforced, what doesn't is scrapped. Stellaris is a ever-changing game, you should have been aware of this by 2.0 when the game was turned upside down.
stupid. you are just working for paradox company. whatever i say i may give u info. i was had mod problem just. so you saying spreading and insist idea that BLM or feminism is fantastic? yeah, sure black lives are metter. but you think "white lives metter" as some kind of nazi, dont you? what stupid reason that i have to love paradox and fund them even small??? you know what? this page is all free game. and you say pirate or something in this area? hahahaha. go dump urself with your insane idea. i want u shut up, or i must be think you as just idiot.
there are two human looking species. if you choose original species, instead of chinese looking, you will see ur leader is bald. i suspect what kind of people developing this game.
Have you tried version from gog-games (dot) com? They have it updated - I wouldn't normally mention other sites with games here on IGG but it's weird seeing this many people here have problems with that patching app while I had none of these and game works fine for me..
Install the update below the download links; it updates v3.4.3 to v3.4.4 - I checked it and all is working nicely for me including all the balance/feature changes being present.
To anyone who want's to play this game co-op together with me for free, here's my steam friend code 259433085, username is Zenix, also join my steam group https://s.team/chat/TyVm3XP1 and i give you multiplayer fix and game links and guide you so np, we can play this game and other coop/multplayer games for free, anytime ;)
Winrar has given me this despite redownloading the issued parts. im not concerned with the ost part but as I understand Part 2s Bin file is required. I dont believe part 3 is having much of an issue and its likely just looking for something missing. Im wondering if this is just a me issue or if others are also having this problem. I got it all from MegaUp btw

Because you still not crack it before start game. After install, you must open .iso file, you will see "RUNE" folder, copy all files in that folder and paste to your game's dir, enjoy ;)
Hmmmm seem like this 3.9 repack causing memory leak issue and very very unstable. Well good thing I still store my 3.1 version since it's using installation process instead repack type it doesn't cause the game misbehaving like this repack it causing issue in system next thing I knew I have 5GB ram memory leak. Guess 3.1 back for me .
Most bug trigger because Repack file and very very unstable this type of game need to have installation process repack making it misbehaving like crash and very slow start up because not responding include causing memory leak.
Why is the file changes? Did you update the files? part1: Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.7z.001 part2: Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.7z.002 part3: Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.7z.003
For those who are having trouble with something about using steam etc.
Open your steam Go to library and find that button where you can add a game in your local computer (google it because I forgot how) Find stellaris executable Create a shortcut of that game using steam (again google that, make sure its a shortcut created by steam not the shortcut created by "send to desktop" in file exporer) Open stellaris using that shortcut. Done.
If I may ask, how do I make mods work? Also, everything else seems fine on my end (DLCs, install, steam)
Also, if you're all afraid of getting banned, create a second steam account, it takes 2 minutes only and should help with the fear of getting sent to the shadow realm
anyone figure out how to get the dlc working, there all registering as enabled but upon launching it tells me they are not owned and doesnt let me use them
You set your game difficulty when you get to the "Game options". Click Select and you'll see after that a bunch of settings. Amongst the first one's should be "Difficulty"
Ty for updating this so soon , i already have the previous version installed , do i need to wait for the separate update link to be posted or do i need to reinstall some of the "parts"?
you need to install the dlc after the base game, toxoids should be "setup_stellaris_toxoids_species_pack_3.7.3_(63182)" in the DLC folder for this version.
Thanks for the 3.7 version so quickly after release, you guys rock! Could you perhaps make the DLC's an integral part of the game for future releases? I don't see why for this game specifically we have to install each DLC separately.
so paradox workers. you feel urgent for build up great reset and blame free users as pirate here? why don't you guys look yourself before say we are pirate? you guys are more than pirate. you don't feel you guys are wrong? then you guys are dumb or liars. why do we have to listen you guys?
bro, it's nor your blog. is it place for report problem? no, this site let us use report page. then is it paradox forum? no. then what is reason for just have attack without resist from paradox fan or worker? those paradox related guys say we are pirate. then are you pirate? you are free to say "Bro, this is not your public blog", then it's free for me to say something. Oh, Come On!
i really piss off bcoz i saw paradox do dirty thing on game. i chose blond king became bald black hair, and i saw all the original human species turn into chinese looking. since you say me chill out, ill try. but im not happy for their dirty doing.
gonna let you on a secret. you can download the base game when it is on open and just shut up on "pirate" or something in free site. so you reveal yourself as intruder and roll fingers on your head. hahaha. less smart.
LOL xD Looked through few comments from this user and it all seems to be AI generated bullshit. Or he is some kind of mental hospital escapee with internet access xD
Adding pirated DLC to legit games is 100% possible but requires some miniscule handywork for it to work, I personally don't know how to do it for stellaris but sites like cs.rin.ru tend to have nice work arounds
It should not be a problem as long as you are willing to google a bit. Willingness to reinstall the game in case you mess something up will also help in the process.

i found a user in raddit that, better not use skill of fallen empire but only with mod. i was successful with copy skill thread in save file, only failed with fallen empire escort ship. i told it to him/her ... and after, this version isn't allow we use fallen empire skills like that. i found who is destroying fun of this game. yeah, i definitely think these guys just doing experiment to users, instead of doing simple game business.
so now, this game have problem with language pack? adjusted value isnt seen on every choice. who are bad of stellaris team??? bad management??? or programmers???
if you play "dowser", you open launcher. there are some menu's of launcher, you can see adjust dlc and mod. with that, you can activate or deactivate mod.
but if you face failure of game, you have to check if your "launcher-setting.json" file. if you open it with note or note++, concentrate on "browserDlcUrl" and "distPlatform" strings on the top. if you see it's directing steam, change them like this: "browserDlcUrl": "https://www.gog.com/game/stellaris", "distPlatform": "gog", you will see problem solved if it was steam.
Hello! I am experiencing issues regarding the dlcs. When I try installing them, they start, ask me to choose a language and then the installer never opens. Is there any way I can fix this issue? PS: The base game doesn't have any issues.
why...it haves to be GOG..i don't want to manually install 1021092 DLCs, or should i say, PAID PATCHES by myself...but it seems this is the only way though...
open the game files, where the exe is, and open launcher-settings.json. Look for distPlatform": "pdx" and change it to this. You can now run dowser.exe which will let you turn mods on and off.
You can get mods from Skymods, just google them. the mods from that site will give you two files a .mod file and a folder. The .mod goes into your C:\Users\your name\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod While the folder goes into: C:\Users\your name\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\workshop\Content\281990
you can also install them manualy tho it's more of a hastle to deal with,you always need a clean copy of the folder of the maingame in case the mod isn't compatible,if mod is compatible with the game copy all contents from its folders such as "common" and put it all into its respective folders in maingame folder,and yes replace files if nessesary launcher does the same anyway on the start,but difference is the original game files arent affected through launcher like they are if you do this,but as long as mods are compatible with echother and the game you can have as many mods as your pc can handle :)
The paradox is a pain,does someone have an idea how to fix it,at first when i use it to start the game with dowser,it just say launcher not loading,then if the game started and finish loading to 100%,it crashes and tell an error occured.
check a correct install step 1 - download and install base game step 2 - dowload and install updated 3.2.2 step 3 - dowload and install updated 3.3.1 in all need copy "crack" in game folder
copy the "crack" folder in the game folder maybe cant install correctly to change archive dowser.exe
.launcher-cache content_load.json or dlc_load.json (depending on game) game_data.json mods_registry.json (optionally, also delete the mods folder) newsfeed
keep getting a crash report when all files are in folder, just had to add D3DX9_43.dll to get it to start but i keeps crashing after it starts loading, any help?
Yeah, I've been having to use MegaUp, the very first one, it works about as good as Google, if you have decent internet anyway, I get about 100 mbps usually so it takes bout 9 min for 5 gigs
is it just me or anyone else but the my game got the dlc started up, have the portraits pack, the ship but can't access the origin or any civics at all
rip when i google aquatics the igg games crack page does show up but when i clicked on it it didn't exist anymore,i just wonna say it in case something glitched out
So I have a question, if I already have stellaris purchused from steam but without all the dlcs, can I download the game here for it's dlc and have it used on the stellaris from my steam account?
Hello, how to install mods manually. Tried to look it up but got confused, seems like there's a steam and paradox launcher specific mod folder and instructions to be followed for modding. Not sure what it is here though.
Manually theres is manual way sometime it wont work when you try large mod or mod that edit habitat or something. Just copy paste certain file that mod going to replace. But i suggest learn to edit the common file by your self instead using mod. Because i already had legit stellaris i cant go online because how massive the file i edit basically make me a god tier.like my battleship it has 6 slot each section all of it is 12 slot each sections. If you need guide in editing what file just reply this comment.
on the celestial bodies of this game, there are interesting reasons of output in resources or research. but nothing recorded on those celestial boy. this game at least need to benchmark, but just raise version number.

Bruh it doesn't work, when I open stellaris.exe it just shows in the taskbar and then disappears. pls help i dont want my 10 gb of internet data to be wasted
you can edit "launcher-setting.json" into gog or paradox version. open that file with "note++" program and change specific strings like this:
gog: a. change url direction string of "browserDlcUrl" into "https://www.gog.com/game/stellaris" b. change string of "distPlatform" as "gog"
paradox a. change url direction string of "browserDlcUrl" into "https://www.paradoxplaza.com/stellaris-all/" b. change string of "distPlatform" as change string of "distPlatform" (if you can't see full url strings above, open it and copy url address) note: we don't know what is wont work after it changed
to anyone having issues with the dlc, i can help in the mounted iso there is a crack file in the CODEX folder grab EVERYTHING in that folder and move it into the stellaris install afterword's go into the steam_emu.ini file and look for DLCUnlockall=0 change it to DLCUnlockall=1 then save it, you may need to do that first in order to actually save it
oh and before i forget if you run the dowser launcher as admin after changing the launcher_settings.json file to have distribution platform to gog you can launch the game through it dont know why you would though when its faster to launch it through the .exe
thank you if someone didnt understand just look at the bot of your hard disks it should have DVD Stellaris just enter there go to codex folder get the steam_aip copy all and follow the instructions of man above
As others have said the DLC doesn't seem to be activated. There is no steam_emu.ini to edit in my installation either to try the previous post's suggestion, and there are no separate installation files (iirc they're already installed) I kind of get the feeling this is fixed on steam's end, and will need a new crack.
before you unpack rar , unpack iso too, find this file "CODEX" copy the in install folder is impossible cant start game without that file because is the "crack"
Sorry, what? before we even unpack the .RAR, we should unpack .ISO first? then find "CODEX" file the... what? edit: I understand now what you meant, the .ini file is in the drive mounting the .iso file? But that cannot be edited so idk what the fuck is going on
Why use dowser.exe? This is the gog version. You install the game and then each dlc separately. Then you turn on stellaris.exe and that's it. I haven't even installed a dowser. I installed mods using irony manager, everything works fine.
Have you installed all the dlc? Each of them is a separate file. You have to install each of them separately about 17 files. Also, maybe try to disable the antivirus for a while, maybe it is messing up.
I don't know what version of the game is anymore. When I downloaded it from here it was the gog version, it says so here. I had a lot of setup files. You write here that you have the steam version. Sorry, but I can't help, despite my best intentions.
Hey guys I've got it set so the Paradox launcher believes I own all of the DLC's but the game is still telling me that I do not own them, any idea what I'm doing wrong?
As for fallen empires, these mods work partially. Mods that allow you to play them work very well, but you can't affect them. You just get the colonies ships according to the ethos and that's it. The only thing you can change is the cheat of the received ships. Even the game is very limited. Your fallen empire behaves like any other. For example, by playing as a militant isolationist, your empire will guard the boundaries and react sharply to buffer breaches. In the case of mods that change fallen empires, I don't know to what extent they work.
not even partially. 2 fallen empire independant mod make error of machine population error i checked. if u don't know, u better not say this long and make confuse people.
Keeps telling me missing part 1 while trying to install the game. Edit: figured it out you had to open pack one and extract i opened pack two so a part didnt extract odd.
You need to open up the launcher, called dowser in the files, then go to dlc and make sure it is activated. Then exit the launcher, the launcher does not work with pirated versions, and launch the game normally. You should have it by then if u do not idk how to fix it. You can also use this method for mods.
You probably clicked a fake "Download" button in the advertisement page that will redirect you to the real download link. I recommend installing 360 Total Security antivirus (It is free) or if you already have an antivirus, just re-scan and make sure that you are not being tracked down by a malicious spyware. Have a great day!
That's how it was with mine as well, first time around. I used launcher (once I found it) to enable the dlcs, then it worked as it should. Note: You can either enable or disable all of the dlcs at once, launcher gives you no option to choose which ones to activate or not individually. You can however delete the dlcs that you don't want or put them elsewhere if ever if you want for just some specific dlcs to be activated while excluding the rest.
1st: Visit steamworkshopdownloader(dot)io. Put a "." between steamworkshop and io. 2nd: Go to your desired mod page/link in the Steam Workshop. 3rd: Copy the link and paste it in the website on the first step.
Alternatively, you can install Tampermonkey in your browser (it is a plugin) and install an open-source userscript from GreasyFork (It is one of the safest and trustable source of userscripts so I highly recommend it).
If u have yet to find out another way, look up steam workshop downloader. U can download mods from steam without having to do it directly through steam. Just get the link of the mod and paste into it. If the game is compatible with the site, Stellaris is, you can download it.
everyone seem to be having some form of issue launching this game or getting something to work from the looks of it unfortunetly i havent encountered any of these as the game doesnt even launch for me just crashes on launch
How do i install mods? I dropped it on the "mod" archive in documents and it doesnt work (This archive path in the mod's descriptor file is invalid or does not exist)
Okay so this is pretty complex but I'd say it anyway. Hearts of Iron IV and Stellaris shares pretty much the same thing so inorder to install a mod, you need to: 1 - Create a Mod through the "Create Mod" button in the launcher 2 - Go to your Documents folder look for the Paradox Launcher folder and then seek for Stellaris. 3 - Extract your mod's files from your .rar/.zip file 4 - Copy/Cut EVERY FILES in the extracted mod file folder to the Documents/Paradox Interactive/mods. If it is not there, create a flder named "mod" I don't know if it would work, but hey atleast I tried telling you how I did it.
Alright i got the launcher working , but now the problem is that when i enable all the DLC's with the launcher and launch the game it decides that i still dont own the DLC's for some reason even though they are enabled. anyone had this iss ue and if you have do you have any fix for it?
Not sure, all I can say is that first time opening the newly downloaded game, the dlc's are not enabled yet. Just opened the launcher (once I found it) and enabled it and it worked like it should for me. Though I am pissed off that you can't choose the dlcs and either have to enable or disable them all in the launcher, though I just deleted or moved the other dlcs but it is still annoying.
Then why are you even on this website? If you want to pay for your stuff then why are you even on here. So how about you actually become useful and leave this place as you are litteraly of no use to me right now.
How bout you show that attitude up yours and read the fucking inquiry first. Moron. You have the DLC. You don't OWN the DLC. THERE'S A FUCKING DIFFERENCE.
It should be the one named "Dowser" for some reason, at least that's the launcher for me here. Not sure about the mods but as far as dlcs go, you either have to enable or disable them all, cannot pick. You can move the files to remove them temporarily though.
open steam_emu.ini with notepad in the stellaris folder and find this DLCUnlockall=0 and change it to this DLCUnlockall=1 then open launcher-settings.json with notepad and change this "distPlatform": "steam" to this "distPlatform": "gog", that will verify the dlc for you in the launcher.
Thank you sm! Do i need to reinstall the game with the set up to get it working? Because codex folder had the steam_emu.ini but couldn't find it in documents nor the stellaris installation area.
I found it in Codex folder when you do install contents on codex to installdir edit the file first then mb just reinstall the game check the launcher-settings-json if it says steam or gog and if it says steam just change it to gog and try the game.
I have replicated everything said in this post and when i launch the game with the DLC enabled through the launcher it continues stating that i do not own them in the game, thus not allowing me to use them
Delete the Stellaris folder in your documents Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris and then open the game after all the steps and let it generate a new folder.
So when I first used it without the launcher it worked fine. I used the launcher to try to use mods and now the install won't work at all. I've reinstalled the whole thing brand new and it still won't launch. Anyone got a fix? Edit: ok so I've figured out that its something with the launcher. When I tear it out and reinstall stellaris its self it works fine until I try to use the launcher to enable mods. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Some of the new bugs and stability issues are just too annoying or makes the game feel too broken for me to play atm. I'm probably gonna wait until some hot-fixes or so are out and here. Check reddit or so for the bugs and the likes. Disclaimer: Not that annoying or totally unplayable but I am just picky about some certain things is all.
Just been snooping around reddit and such, can't explain that good so going there would be better. They've already discussed the new bugs, changes, as well as stability issues. I might wait a bit more until some hot-fixes or so are out, might need to redownload the whole thing again anyway or not, who knows. I just find it to be too broken or well annoying in my case with the new sets of bugs or so.
Nah, just some minor stuff but I was a bit sour when I posted my original comment. You can just find em' at reddit or other forum sites if yah really want to know. Gave it a second chance and got to play for a bit, pretty wonky.
someone else has a problem when starting the game through the launcher, "game failed to launch" even though the launcher-settings file has already been modified?
Ack, I don't trust torrent that much but it is temping. I want to try out the new re-worked features (Including Bugs) especially the first contact framework which now just makes so much more sense than before. Btw, what's different from Codex and GOG version? Checked out the torrent for a bit though for now I might just wait for it here cause I've already waited this long anyway.
Oh, righty. Thank you. It should be soon for the game file/s here to be updated. Can't wait to try it out, been watching youtuber wars and rp mp to pass time.
Guys is it that slow? tons of people already asked for updates and i will not post mine since it will become spam (i just upvote them instead). but really tho even the torrent one has already have it.....
I wait on this site cause at the moment it is the only one I know of that still has google drive links. Google Drive is superior to mega, rapidgator, etc cause there are no speed restrictions and no signups to get premium speeds. If I were to pay for a download service I might as well just buy the game. I would also rather not use torrents as it causes issues with my isp and they aren't always reliable.
I once download a game here from torrent but it wouldn't start properly, wasting hours of downloading the files. Tried it again because I really wanted to play the game after a few days or weeks, this time trying the Megaup option which I somehow got to work and I finally got the game running. Aside from the usually slow downloading speed from torrent, I don't trust it anymore that much compared to the usual download options here. Not sure about the others but that's how it went for me.
You know? the only thing that i hate about DLCs and Updates is my working in order mod that i spent thousands of years fitting it is gonna be outdated and most of them will stop working.
check documents/paradox interactive if mods not there create folder and name mods. go to game install folder for me its (D:\Games\Stellaris) open dowser.exe go to mods, mods tool, create mod name mod and your current version, tag did not matter go to u are wanted mod copy except descriptor.mod check inside the folder make sure do not copy descriptor.mod go to documents/paradox interactive/mods there is folder that u created, paste in that folder. I hope u understand i am not good at English this is one easy way that i use to install mods.
How do you get it from the workshop using the version here? I was under the impression that you needed to buy the game first and make a paradox account to do so,
Just wanna ask, is it worth it downloading now from igg? I saw many people had problems, but i also remember my game playing perfectly with the Lithoids update even if it was GOG. So... Edit: Mods were fine too.
Since I already have the game, how do I install just the DLC? I won't need the game itself, but what files will I need to copy to prevent Steam from detecting piracy? Edit: Nevermind, it's a GOG version. :/ Who the hell uses GOG?
everytime i try to launch the game it says "launching the game failed". I tried opening the stellaris.exe but it said im misssing a .dll file. I downloaded that file and now it says "application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b)"pls help .
So, huhh I downloaded the part 1 and 2, extracted on one file, change my file configuration to show by name, installed each setup from top to bottom separatly, checking if each setup was funcioning propely by trying to move the window around and checking task manager, force closing the setup if wasn't responding, deleting all the game files from my pc (C: GOG games/stellaris, delete stellaris), repeat until the process is done wihout crashes and consequent impossibility to: run the setup again, play the game, play normally, listen to the music, etc. (I think this is the intended way) Only to find out that there's an uptade (2.8.1.2) with another 19 setups more and no instruccions again. There are two files in the update2.8.1.2, DLC and Update, in Update there's a update for the base game (I think)(which would make sense goes first) and in DLC 18 setups, one for each DLC. Also, if you thought the game was broken because the shortcut "Stellaris" in your desk post installing correctly launched "dowser.exe" and instanly crashed, freezed your machine, keept weird CPU/memory/GPU heavy apps or second plane apps running or very laggy game, no your game is not broken (hoppefully) go to file location of Stellaris, look for apps, try the one that says "Stellaris", not "Launch Stellaris", or "uninsnumber", worked for me. Sooo, here are my questions: Do I install base game, then update basegame, then the next dlc from top to bottom, the the update for that,... or do i install basegame and dlc's, then update basegame, then dlc's in order ? Are the update setups more, less or same likely to crash than the basegame setups? What's even in update 2.8.1.2, is it worth it? Why in the name of ### ####### ## ####### would anyone not give feasible installing instructions, or any instruccions at all?
huhhh, yeah. Doing what i said i did: " I downloaded the part 1 and 2, extracted on one file, change my file configuration to show by name, installed each setup from top to bottom separatly, checking if each setup was funcioning propely by trying to move the window around and checking task manager, force closing the setup if wasn't responding, deleting all the game files from my pc (C: GOG games/stellaris, delete stellaris), repeat until the process is done wihout crashes and consequent impossibility to: run the setup again, play the game, play normally, listen to the music, etc. (I think this is the intended way)" checking if each setup was funcioning propely by trying to move the window around and checking task manager. if it wasn't responding: force closing the setup , deleting all the game files from my pc (C: GOG games/stellaris, delete stellaris I think this part makes more sense now, i am not really sure i'm not native english speaker I did got it to work but wihout the update V2.8.1.2, not really sure in what order to install them,didn't want to risk break the game. pretty sure they are not necesary Also before there were more links to outdated updates game has higher System Requirement than it says here I have 8gb integrated graphics, here says it needs 4gb and 1 vram, so my pc should be ok because 8gb integrated is roughly equal to 6gb 1.5 vram. But it has slowdowns and as the game progresses andd more shit is happening the worse the performance gets, i would advice having at least 16 gb 1 vram to get the whole experience
Hello, i downloaded it form here and the torrent page but i cant get it work, it says the program cant start because D3DCOMPILER_47.dll is missing, and when start with the dowser it wont launch, steam api is not initialized. If somebody knows whats happening i would appreciate any help.
Y'know my game is fine but the mods stuck at 30% complete. I did this a mods enable to disable. Once I removed all this mods and suddenly game resolve. I'm waiting to see next update for 2.8.1 look like.
2.8.1 is on the Beta version. To be honest, it said on the Bold "Fixed an issue where loading would get stuck when trying to load a lot of mods." It's true will have to wait until official update soon as possible.
To anyone can't adjust mods. You must find how to adjust mode in edit in file. Open it with note++, Microsoft word, or something, and edit. There must be way what searchable in portal sites.
you have to take the descriptor file out of the specific mod's folder and have it in the mod folder edit: sorry not the descriptor file. there's like a different text file that you need outside the folder that has the same name as the folder. if you go to mod tools in the launcher and make a new mod, you'll see the format it needs to be
The infinite frontier ebook is a dlc that really just gets you a book to read. That is it. Nothing happens in game you can just read a book set in the stellaris universe. Though I can never get it running, so u might not be able to read it.
install all of them (the top one first, order doesnt matter for the rest) the reason its like this is because gog has a seperate installer for all dlcs
i can confirm it is necroids an dont need any update to play i just created a necroid species. it doesnt need the 2.7.2 updated posted its already updated.
Just because you are a rich person that lives in a first world country, with lots of funds to spend around doesn't mean the poors are not allowed to have fun.
definitely its expensive, i would suggest getting the three main ones (utopia, federations and distant stars(megacorp and Apocalypse is a little meh) and just wait until the species packs are on sale. you're not really missing anything if you decide not to get Leviathans and ancient relics.
Yeah I played a bit with just it alone and though I can see it still being decent, the options to limit it a bit, so I plan on continuing using this until I catch up.
already own console edition with all available dlc on ps4. its just their updates are slow on there. ill have to wait eons to play necroids on console lol
Probably in a next few days. If you want it so hard, try ovagames, it has 2.8 version. However, I recommend waiting for at least one patch in case of bugs and other problems.
No problem. Also just so you know tomorrow there is a new update coming out. Don't know if save games will be compatible so u might want to wait or make a smaller galaxy game.
For anyone who can't load mods. After looking on forums, checking files, editing and deleting Stellaris and Paradox launcher data files.I found another possible solution to this problem. One of the simplest possible ways how to fix it.... Stellaris and pdx launcher overwrites mod files which causes bugs. To prevent this from happening just try to make your "mod" folder read-only. Do it after placing and editing mods inside it. The mod folder should be placed in your Stellaris documents folder. Probably "C:\Users\Username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris" Mod file path in "modname.mod" file should be "mod/modname" not "C:/Users/Username/....." The other ways of fixing it are: Reinstaling stellaris Reinstalling pdx launcher Deleting Stellaris documents folder or mod folder with mod load order file Also remember to check if your Stellaris instalation folder is not set to "read only" this can prevent mods to load also. I hope that this post will help you
Just so everyone knows the launcher is not important at all. I can't get it to launch either, but the only use of it is for mods. If u get into the launcher activate the mod then exit the launcher. Even if u play without the launcher it still uses the mod as long as u activated it.
Alright, i found the solution for the DLC'S not working. So, first off you have to delete dlc_signature from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris That should be the solution. (Might not work while starting the game from dowser.exe) If this does not work for you, try different ways to overcome this problem, like copying stuff from .iso / CODEX and dropping that into installer folder (The main one)
How do I install mods? I've tried the tutorial that everyone vomits at anyone who asks this question but that didn't work because I can't make the launcher install in my install folder, because it says I need to sign in as a administrator when I already am.
Anybody having the problem i'm having? I can't get the launcher to work I've switched the stream to pdx and when I try to launch the game with the launcher it doesn't work.
I'm having trouble launching the game using the launcher always the error when starting the game ja modei steam for pdx in launcher-settings since already thank you if someone can help me and sorry for the english
Thanks to sir wafflez and zomdog The launcher installer can be found inside the game installation file. If it comes up with an error take the launcher-settings.json file (found just below the launcher installer) and right click on launcher-settings.json, open with notepad, and change the steam to pdx. After that Copy-paste it into the installation folder for the launcher (mine is nestled away in %appdata% somewhere), you can use the launcher installation to uninstall and reinstall the launcher to find out where it goes.
Have being asking for update of this game for months, please upload the latest DLC (federations) if people are asking for updates here is because none other attempt have response
i have same problem.. anyone know how to fix it? i try the poop merchant solution, below this comment, but doesn't help. Edit: I found the solution, right click on launcher-settings.json, open with notepad, and change the steam to pdx
CANT USE LAUNCHER My stellaris.exe directly starts the game doesnt start the launcher. Theres a launcher installer thingy i guess thats the games launcher installer but it doesnt install because stellaris is already installed etc. cant use mods because of this ANY HELP?
ok found the solution lol thanks sir wafflez The launcher installer can be found inside the game installation file. If it comes up with an error take the launcher-settings.json file (found just below the launcher installer) and copy-paste it into the installation folder for the launcher (mine is nestled away in %appdata% somewhere), you can use the launcher installation to uninstall and reinstall the launcher to find out where it goes.
You must already know but I'll help anyway, 1.You must select the two zips at once and then right click in them and click extract 2. Once extracted you can get many things. -If you get a .ISO file, use PowerISO or a similar software to mount the file on a digital drive. -If you get a setup, launch the app and install the game
I usually can extract all files from multi part files like this. But for this Stellaris 2 files, I can't extract them. Whatever I use 7zip or Winrar. It always stop at 60 - 70%. It said that the ISO file is corrupt. What happen to that?
OK people, I see a few of you are having trouble with the DLCs. Remember to add the content of the CODEX file (found inside the .iso) into where you installed the game from the codex installer. Replace any files with the new ones. Should work fine from there :)
Hey, inside the .iso that you ran (Which contains the setup.exe) there should be a CODEX folder, drop everything inside that folder into the game installation folder, that should do the trick for the DLC. The launcher installer can be found inside the game installation file. If it comes up with an error take the launcher-settings.json file (found just below the launcher installer) and copy-paste it into the installation folder for the launcher (mine is nestled away in %appdata% somewhere), you can use the launcher installation to uninstall and reinstall the launcher to find out where it goes.
launcher will show some steam error, but do not bother with it select the mods, select the dlc's, leave the launcher like that, and start the game with the stellaris.exe
if there is a mod , that that u can use for change some values in the game, you should rename it and after that easy to find when you want to change something, otherwise just numbers, you'll see
Is the file size less than 5 MB? Did you get the file directly, or have you used an exe? If the answer to any of the questions is yes, you downloaded an ad. Please try downloading the files again and make sure you get the correct ones.
Can anyone offer a solution for my dlcs not working at all? I had previous empires and saves obviously but could not use them because of my errors concerning my dlcs being disabled apparently. I already tried deleting my settings and save under C:\Users\Documents\Paradox Interactive. Are there any other setting that need to be reset or is there anything else that can be done? P.s. I am running version 1.7.1 and don't want to update considering this is the update with the energy credits glitch on it
can somebody help me ,,more planets mod" is not working for me, but that i mean i know how to mod stellaris (creat mod folder in luncher etc) other mods are working good this mod worked to on older version but in this new planets are not spawining and i cant pick homeworld of new words becouse they bug out and not showing up in menu (edit never mind i created new mod folder and it fix it)
If anyone wants to play multiplayer download this fix http://thenewscasts.com/view/6mns, copy everything in game folder, lunch steam and keep it open, then lunch the game with stellaris.exe and the game will connect to steam matchmaking server and allow you to play multiplayer tested on 2.7.1 and 2.7.2
Hello everybody, the game works fine for me but I really want to be able to play it with some mods. But I have an issue with the launcher. I installed it, I modified the launcher-settings.json file and I had to copy it in the launcher directory to be able to get the launcher to lanch in the first place. It got updated fine also. But I can't launch the game from the launcher I have an error sayin : "Game executable is invalid" Does somebody knows the solution ? Thanks =)
just set the mods that u want(in launcher), leave the launcher like that and start with stellaris exe this solution mentioned here long time ago and still working
Edit launcher-settings.json file, should look like this "distPlatform": "pdx" or "distPlatform": "gog", no need to copy in launcher directory, launch the launcher with dowser.exe, create all the mods u wish to use in the launcher then manually download the mods and copy them in the folders that were created, enable the mods, close the launcher and run the game with stellaris.exe not with the launcher and the mods will work. If u want to play online download this fix http://thenewscasts.com/view/6mns works for 2.7.1 and 2.7.2, copy all the files in game directory, lunch steam and then lunch the game with stellaris.exe and the game will connect to steam matchmaking server and allow you to play multiplayer, also works with mods
Do I have to download the mods from paradox website or create mods? if so. how do i "Create Mods" that I already have in mod folder but still don't know how to enable it?
You need to open the launcher(dowser.exe) and go to mods, then mod tools and then create mod which will create a new folder with the same name as u named your mod which is located in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod/, then go to steam workshop and find the mod u want and download it using this site http://steamworkshop.download , extract the mod in the folder that you created, enable the mod in the launcher, close the launcher and launch the game using stellaris.exe
dont get fooled when you apply the crack from CODEX folder to you where you installed you game you may see it cant detect DLC but the DLC was there and loaded. Launch the game to make sure all those DLC appear on the game menu, the menu will list all alivable dlc loaded into your game
it have DLC you just havent copy the crack version into the game when you insert the iso files you see the CODEX files inside it that enable you to play dlc just copy the files inside the CODEX Folder to the game you installed. Then enjoy stellaris with its DLC
can somebody help me for no reason game crashes after loading idk why (all version), i know its not much but game does not tell my mutch why it crashes
It does work, download this fix http://thenewscasts.com/view/6mns, copy everything in game folder, lunch steam and keep it open, then lunch the game with stellaris.exe and the game will connect to steam matchmaking server and allow you to play muliplayer tested on 2.7.1 and 2.7.2
Reinstall the game, apply crack, then once installed left click go to properties, go to compatibility and set run as admin and click apply then click okay If that doesnt work well i dunno what to do

Thanks to the fact that this is not a cracked game (gog installer) you can play online with your friends if they download this version! I tested it and it works like a charm. Thx for the upload.
Steam allows you to pick the game version you want. Just go to BETA section of the game properties in steam, and from the drop-down menu pick the version your friends have. Usually it's "crossplatform multiplayer" but if you use releases like this one, pick the verison of the release.
Read the F.A.Q. bruh https://igg-games.com/if-237919870-any-problem-please-call-me.html There are multiple .exe gog installers, its normal. You gotta run the main installer to install the base game and THEN run the dlc installers to install the DLCs (lots of them).
Yes, it includes all DLCs up to the version it offers. With a quick google search, I've concluded that Federations was released with patch 2.6 therefore this includes it.
Actually you just have to let the launcher update then it works. I'd say they should just upload the working(updated) launcher as a crackfix or something as it's not something clear. Then you can play with how ever many mods you want. Dowser launcher version 2020.4, 42 mods+ should be no problem. Now I can't remember how it can be updated it but when you click on it there should be an option asking you to update it on the top of the menu somewhere.
I got the launcher to work, currently running about 50+ mods. [1]Go to your desktop,[2] Right click on stellaris and select properties,[3] Go to the compatability tab,[4] Select [ ] Disable fullscreen optimizations, and make sure it is highlighted with a checkmark. You should now be able to run mods and launch the game from the stellaris launcher.
So like the launcher is buggy. I can't get past 7 mods without the launcher mod view bugging out by not showing the new mod I installed or when I remove a mod it still stays on the mod view. Does someone know a way to fix this problem?
Wut u sayun bruh? Installed? Bruhhhh it's already there home doggy dog. You launch the launcher and somewhere it'll ask if you want to update my boyo. Maybe that'll make u understand betta. Honestly don't give a shit if you can't get it to work. Mine works. I can only give advice on how it's done, if you cannot do it then yolo buy it.
If the mod you're installing is still using a zip, you just have to right click on the zip and click Extract here if you have winzip/winrar and then remove the .zip portion from the file path in the .mod folder. I think it's a big with 2.6
any 1 knows how 2 enable mods which downloads from skymods? my paradox launcher v2 has broken, i tried someone said "not pdx launcher" doesn't work for selecting mods or DLCs.
Dunno bout you but all I did was go to the Stellaris Folder (where the exe is located) and find the file called "launcher-settings.json", open it up and edit "distlauncher": "steam", to "pdx": "steam", and save :3 Pretty much just change the word distlauncher to pdx and my launcher worked fine with me being able to enable and disable DLC's and mods I got from skymods. I don't really know what editing that word does but hey if it works, it works.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your problem however is that the Launcher doesn't show up whenever you click the Stellaris exe file then the answer is simple, It won't. It's because the file you are clicking is actually the direct file that opens up the game, not the launcher. In order to open up the launcher there's another exe file in the Stellaris Folder called Dowser.exe, it's the file that opens up the launcher. I do suggest doing the thing I said above before opening up the dowser.exe file just to be sure cuz someone suggested it, that it won't work if you don't do it, but hey you're free to experiment, maybe it works without changing distlauncher to pdx.
i know that "dowser" , it wont work, the fuking pdx launcher is still failed to install, and cause that fuk resason i cant enable any mods, cause i cant select em, none of ur solution works, fuk paradox, they dont know what happened, no clue to FIX this shitty BUG which not happen in previous stls.
Oh, Side Note though. The Stellaris Launcher is so buggy. The max amount of mods that shows up in the launcher is 7, sometimes you can go beyond 7 but it bugs out by not showing the mod you just installed, or when you remove the mod, it still shows up in the launcher. I don't know how to get past this problem other than packing all my mods into one modpack, just a heads up. If you manage to find a way please tell me uwu
I believe so, just download this morning but when I started playing I cannot see any DLCs. I saw it extracted the bin files when I clicked to one of those DLCs exe, so I thought that they were installed with the main game. Maybe you will have to install one by one as I'm doing right now :v
I honestly didn't even bother trying to install them since I already have 2.6.0 and I think 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 are just minor bugfixes (and some AI improvement I think?). I don't wanna waste my time manually installing all the dlc separately lmao. I'm pretty sure whoever uploaded it to IGG was kinda forced to do it like this since the new launcher that Stellaris has been fucking up the whole pirating thing.
shit, sorry. i didnt pay attention. You have to edit .json file to activate mods without launcher. It's a complicated process, try to google it or use reddit. Gl to you!
Hey, can somebody help me? I want to install the dlcs but when i try to launch the setup of a dlc it starts, asks for what language do i want to use and then nothing happens. The setup is running in the task manager but doesnt install the files.
We would want to open a new Stellaris scene, if you guys are ready to be the founding members...You can join us on our beautiful server https://discord.gg/XDpV7VQ
is it possible to upload patch only along this release just like the EU IV like this one (patch update only) stellaris lithoids 2.5.1 -> stellaris 2.6.0 federations (patch update only) stellaris federations 2.6.0 -> stellaris 2.6.2 federations just recently download the 2.5.1 lithoids dlc and 2.6.2 include all dlc come out
I found a way to install mods, gather before me, it that simple that it just stiupid xD,(not me but i found it on reddit kek) Download the mods of your choice from the workshop Download the mods of your choice from the workshop Unzip the mods anywhere you'd like for now After, open your launcher-settings.json in your main installation folder with notepad and change the "distPlatform" to "pdx" and save. Next, launch dowser.exe and go to the mods tab -> click mod tools -> create mod -> For the name put in ModPack -> Version put 1 -> and in directory it should say mod/ModPack. You may click all the tags or just click one, it doesn't matter. Then, press create mod. From here, go to Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod folder and you should see your new .mod file and your mod pack folder. Open your ModPack folder and get ready to transfer the data from your installed mods into that folder. To do so, follow this youtube video: https://youtu.be/ju34KHuUxm0?t=222 Do this for every one of your mods, not just one. This effectively combines all your mods into one mega mod. NOTE: Do not copy over the descriptor.txt from the mods into your modpack. Not sure if that would do anything but to be safe, just don't do it.
Hey so, a lot of people cannot actually figure out how to install mods, so here's a bit of help to teach you how to. In order to mod a cracked version of the game, you first need to make your own mod via the launcher. In order to do this, follow these steps:
Open the Paradox Launcher, not the game directly (aka use the dowser executable).
Scroll down to Mods.
Click on "Mod Tools".
Click on "Create A Mod".
Fill everything out, the Name is the Mod's name, you can name it anything you want, version is irrelevant, and what you write in the directory is how the folder will be named. The tags do not matter. Once that is done, you need to go to the mods folder, which should be located in: Your Documents > Paradox Interactive > Stellaris > mod It should exist, as you have created a mod. Once you are there, what you need to do next is to grab every single mod that you downloaded and wish to install, and drop the mod's files within the mod you have created. Make sure the mod's files are named "common", "events", "flags", etc. and not the zip/rar file you downloaded, or the mod file that is contained in them. If it asks you to overwrite a file, make sure that the file you are pasting in that attempts to overwrite a file is a patch or relatively unneeded. You need to be careful with this, as bad overwrites can break the entire modpack, so don't install too many mods of the same type. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, OVERWRITE THE DESCRIPTOR FILE. Once that is done, open the launcher again, scroll down to mods, enable your mod by clicking on the button to the right of it, and launch the game. If all is well, your mod should work and will apply all the mods that you installed at once.
Thanks so much! I had actually tried this and every other method I could find online, but this inspired me to try again where I realized the mod I had been using as a test wasn't updated for this version (lol I had been trying entire day, I am very smol brain).
This part is pretty much sound advice, some other things to note is that the .mod file inside the /mod/ folder contains the data (in plain text so you can open and edit it in notepad) of where the file is. The stellaris wiki has some info on how this functions if you are confused. So you need a folder with the files and descriptor file inside, and a .mod file that points to said folder. Furthermore you can use a workshop downloader site to get the mods from steam, however some mods might already be updated to 2.6.1 and cause a ctd (UI Overhaul Dynamic for example) In that case you can also go to skymods, which does not have all the mods I believe, but it does keep older revisions of mods so by downloading a version that was released on the 17th (which is when 2.6.0 dropped) you can still use these mods.
Actually, I just tested it out, the mod manager automatically creates the .mod and descriptor files, so you don't really have to do anything, that's why I didn't write anything regarding that.
I can't put with my favorite mods into launcher that it won't be showing up with new launcher. I tried to resolve, but won't help. I tried to search on Google, and can't find any clue to show up the mods on launcher.
Yes, there is was active mod but not working started. I'm trying to make the mod even better than vanilla. Update: Good news, My mods has been resolved. Thanks for my GOG games that I figured out to use it.

Nope, the usual method of putting the mod file in mod and the files in workshop hasn't worked for a few months, and I think everything is supposed to go in mod now. i haven't got anything to work as I'm really bad at this sort of stuff but you can still subscribe to the limited amount of mods on the paradox workshop and they still work. I think maybe the steam mods need connection to steam but without any steam fixes (maybe they were taken down?) I'm not sure if you can use mods from the steam workshop
There's a steam downloader for that though but you need manually add the file to the mod folder, though that's before 1.3.1 since I don't know how the new launcher works.
hmm but i manage to turn on one mod glavius ai from skymods but only that idk how, but i it was with workshop folder but idk how rest mods didnt show up, and i mange to install mod for hoi4 (idk how i did it to) so there are ways to play with mods
Hi! I can't choose lithoids when starting a new game, and I can only choose 3 origins, even though I think I should be able to choose between all of them. Every dlc (17) is enabled in the launcher. Downloaded from the torrent site. Any help would be appreciated.
Man you're so entitled can't you wait a few days ? So I had the same problem untill I realised I forgot to apply crack. Now help yourself, and if it doesn't work, uninstall reinstall, re-apply crack, and if it still doesn't work, redownload. You're fucking welcome
You guys need to realize that Paradox create the new launcher to counter the piracy. this is why the launcher is so bad. don't blame the cracker because they just do their job to make the game free for us.
Why CODEX team didn't crack this game anymore? It was so much simpler when they crack this game (all of paradox games actually). it's also easy to update when a patch came. I'm sorry if i sounded ungrateful.
There is a mod which halves the amont of all pops/Jobs while doubling their production. That is the best speedup you can get. Also running the game as admin with high priority.
They will always be there. The engine is simply shit and the fact that they are constantly building on top of it just makes it worse. You need as strong single core performance for this game as possible.
not working :/ i mean not showing up (this new luncher i so fck bad) i removed mod folder but when i created new nothing happened, do i need to remove workshop folder to?
Missed your reply. sorry. This me PI's launcher is kinda wanky. I own this game on steam and it's giving me problems even there. The thing is that mods need to be activated somehow now. In pre-launcher releases you only needed to have them in your mods folder and the game would delete them if they failed your steam account check (that's why making them read-only was a must). This is a gog release. I have no experience with it. Try searching through gog forums about making steam mods work with their release.
so i downloaded and unzipped the files then mounted the iso but when i run the setup and click install a message shows up saying "cant create game folder (admin rights?)" even though i have admin rights and start as admin. Any ideas?
Downloading the new 2.6 / 2.6.1 will break most mods. Specifically NSC2 (New Ship Classes 2). The mod team said they plan on releasing season 5 to support 2.6.* on March 31
got it. you use the launcher installer in your game folder, instlal the launcher in the same folder the stellaris.exe is in. and then launch via launcher and you have the mod options right there.
ok so dl speed is super slow since its rush hour and everyone is dling at the same time.. but there should be online solutions/workarounds because this question was asked before for another one of the updates. I think you have to do it without the launcher by adding it manually into a mods folder and then activate it via notepad or something silly. If I remember I will reply in an hour or so.
não consegui mudar para português-Brasil, não tem como mudar em lugar nenhum :( i can not change to Brazilian-portuguese, i don't know how to change that, and there is no way you can do it i think..
Hey, I downloaded and unzipped files, mounted iso and installed game, changed line in launcher-settings.json from "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx". Then I installed launcher from dowser.exe succesfuly. But whenever I try to start it, either from game folder's stellaris.exe or from launcher, it crashes after while opening paradox crash reporter. Anyone knows solution, how to fix it? Thanks :)
Becouse before I started to mess with them it didnt't work and crashed... I didnt block it on firewall though, so... how did u proceed after installing Hoodlum setup? Just blocked stelaris.exe in firewall and then you could play?
Thanks for fast reply! I did block stelaris.exe, dowser.exe and paradox launcher, even tried to start it offline, but still game crashed. Do I have to block every single file?
No, did you installed the launcher on the game folder? If yes i would recommend for you to reinstall the game or find a GOG version (i know where there is one but i don't know If i can send you to another website)
I installed it on default path, it was many folders in my user directory, but then i didn't see this path in file browser and two directories were added to my game folder (launcher v.2...), so I guess I did put it to game directory. So I need to reinstall, then change launcher-settings.json from "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx" and then which directory should I set when installing launcher? And which .exe files I have to block, only stelaris.exe and launcher?
Reinstall the game, before doing the setting.json, go to the game folder, uninstall the launcher by clicking on the setup then install it again but on the game folder (copy the address where stellaris.exe is and paste on the setup) then you do setting.json and make sure that is blocked on firewall
They teased us with this yesterday with it being up briefly, Hoodlum cracked it....so am hoping it is released soon. Paradox is nuts with its DLC. Want the entire game, its over 170 bucks.
Go into the game folder and open "launcher-settings.json" with any text-editor and change the line "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx". Next, open "dowser.exe" in the game folder, if it doesn't open run "launcher-installer-windows.msi" in the game folder and install the paradox launcher. "dowser.exe" will open the paradox launcher. Skip through the login/registration process, navigate to the Stellaris page. Scroll down and you will be able to enable and disable mods and DLC. Then go back into your Stellaris folder and launch stellaris.exe (hitting Play in the launcher doesn't work) searched the comments and found this
I would like to add that I believe this has worked, it still says DLC are not activated however. So after renaming the dist platform to pdx instead of steam. Open dowser and enable all DLC. Then open stellaris.exe in the folder and it should launch correctly.
Im not sure if anyone need this, but when i was unable to play the dlcs, i just need to reinstall the game, but this time ticking all the confirmation boxes of the setup section. Just in case someone dont know, maybe im just stupid.
I am getting the Windows cannot access specified device error when I try to setup after mounting ISO. Never had issues with cracks from this website before. Now I got to find another one.
Hey i need help. For some reason when I extract and mount it everything works. when i try to run the set up though I get a pop up that says its a virus and doesnt give me an option to install anyway like it usually did. How do i get it to work? Nevermind I just had to add it to the windows defender "ignore" list
Hey, i have a problem with launcher. I installed mods and they were working until i restarted the game. When i tried to start it again launcher said that mods are outdated and it wont load them now.
Can it work on Linux too? I have Mint 19.3 and people also play it on Mint or Ubuntu. If not, it wold be nice to have a choice also download Linux Edition.
No matter how hard I try the DLC just refuse to work. Reinstalling the launcher removes the ! icon, but if you launch the game, the DLC still isnt enabled and next time you open the launcher the red ! has reappeared. Is there any sort of fix for this at all or does it just randomly happen to the select few with no concievable fix? Thank.
! icon will always be there, don't bother with it, just enable dlc's, leave the launcher open, go to game folder, start game with stellaris.exe. Can you choose "humanoid" ship when you start a new game? If yes, then alll dlc is there... No magic, it's working here.
It may be working for you but certainly not working for me. Following those "instructions" to the letter, the DLC are still all disabled. If you have any actual fix for the DLC issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Could someone explain how to get mods on the game to work? I can't even get them to show up on the launcher. And to think, it use to be so damn easy to mod the game.
You can see at the beginning that you have the dlc's or not when you select or edit your empire.Humanoid ships, lots of species, etc. I don't know what u guys doing.
We want to play with mods, Problem is the Mods only loading if we activate the shitty launcher, but if we use Launcher to load the Mods, he dont load the DLC because of "You dont buy the DLC" or some like this.
no, the launcher say that owner is unknown, not that you can't use it launcher need just for enable dlc's and mods and that's it, it won't work if you start with launcher maybe just the exe has access to the internet, which is bad
What do you mean "activate" the launcher? As i said before, select all dlc, select the mods, leave the launcher like that, and start with stellaris.exe. No magic, don't bother with the red "!" on the dlc's in the launcher.
use console command to do that https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Console_commands when u find how to open console(each keyboard layout different key need), just type help, you'll see what need to type in to change the language
The invite link's still good, but here you go. https://discordapp.com/invite/3pwKfqh If it doesn't work this time, try unsubscribe to a few channels you don't use much. There's a limit to how many channels you can be subscribed to at one time, 100 I think.
Hey dude! Scroll down, there is a video how to install mods manully into stellaris! Follow that, and after just read Jason Ham's comment from 3 months before which is: " Has anyone figured out how to get the launcher to work? EDIT: Figured out a workaround to use mods. Go into the game folder and open "launcher-settings.json" with any text-editor and change the line "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx". Next, open "dowser.exe" in the game folder, if it doesn't open run "launcher-installer-windows.msi" in the game folder and install the paradox launcher. "dowser.exe" will open the paradox launcher. Skip through the login/registration process, navigate to the Stellaris page. Scroll down and you will be able to enable and disable mods and DLC. Then go back into your Stellaris folder and launch stellaris.exe (hitting Play in the launcher doesn't work) The mods and DLC you have enabled should now load with the game." So, no need the launcher, just to enable the dlc's or mods. All dlc is here, my mods working. dat
i assure you this is 2.5.0, and yes, i wondering why you say that this is 2.5.1 coz launcher and the game show you 2.5.0 but we have that shitty new species so it doesn't matter
It’s false positive. The method used to crack games is similar to the method used to code malware! Anti-virus programs will detect the crack as a virus and delete it, even though it isn’t! Like explained https://igg-games.com/virus-461012836-trojan.html.
So I ran some problems and its seems I can't activate the DLCs. It says "WE are unable to verify the ownership of the DLC" in all of them. Thank you for this fantastic game and I would be grateful if someone can teach me how to deal with my DLC problem.
but it true, if you don't play lan(not many cracked games have that option), you have to block every access to the internet my defence let me know when some game want to go online simple
yeah same thing happen to me, if i were you i would reinstall it back and do not absolutely do not use the launcher when you open an internet Edit: delete the stellaris folder on documents when reinstalling game
Can someone please tell me how to play stellaris. I mean i have played ck2,hoi4,eu4 but i have never played stellaris before. There are so many versions here so i can't figure out how to play this game. Please help me.....
Hello there, anyone interested in playing multiplayer or discussing the game with us? We play frequently, mostly paradox games, Civ 5/6, total warhammer and other games. We can help you with setting up multiplayer and other issues. If you are interested you can join us here: https://discord.gg/3pwKfqh . Sorry for the ad and thanks.
I never played stellaris before. Can you tell me how can i play it. I mean there are so many versions of it here. So i can't tell which version i need to download.
Its possible that the mod is not yet compatible with the current version of stellaris. I've heard that it is very buggy right now because of all of the new updates. I hope they fix it soon. Try downloading your mod with both methods mentioned in the video, incase one of them isnt working
How to fix Steam Initialization Error/ Launcher Disabled: Go to where your stellaris.exe is and open laucher-settings.json and edit "distPlatform": "steam" , to "distplatform": "pdx" , Thanks to General Bacon and Wonderer for finding it out
How do I use the mods with this version? I download them manually from a site that rips from steam workshop, but the old method stopped working... Can anyone help me?

Howdy, I have the base game on steam, but if I download this, can I just move the DLC's across, or will it cause issues? (I only ask due to seeing bits about updates, mods and online play)
Actually you still need the descriptor file also. If you want to know how the mod should be setup as, go to modtools in dowser and create a new mod. Just make a simple test mod. e.g. Name: Test ,Version: 1.0.0 ,Directory: mod/test ,Tags: (Whatever random tag(s) you want) . The mod will have a "descriptor.mod" file in IT's folder and a .mod (test.mod in this case) file outside of the mod in the "mod" folder itself with the same name as it's folder. You can use notepad or preferably a more advanced text editor like notepad++ or something like Visual Studio Code by MS, both are free, though notepad++ in my experience lags with really long files (won't be a issue here, but still).
It seems like a lot of people are having the same issue of not being able to run the DLCs when the game is opened (i.e. only the vanilla game is playable). If anyone is able to help, it would be greatly appreciated! After opening "launcher-settings.json" and changing the line "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx", the Paradox launcher can be opened through "dowser.exe". After skipping through logins, etc, the DLCs are all listed under "Downloadable Content", however, there is a little red indicator saying that "We were unable to verify ownership of this DLC".
So i've modified the launcher settings and installed the launcher but when i open the dowser file i get an error saying "Could not locate a valid installation of the Paradox Launcher: open Paradox Interactive\launcherpath: The sistem couldn't find the specified file."
New problem. I posted on the torrent site but for some reason the comment section is gone! I downloaded the game and installed it fine. Got the launcher to work by editing the notepad from "Steam" to "pbx". I've used both admin modes and not. The DLC is showing up and says it's active but when I launch the game no dlc is there and I only get the base game. Why?
First It's pdx - D not B. Second make sure to you run launcher-installer-windows afterwards to install the paradox launcher otherwise it will keep using the steam one still.
I am unable to access all the paid DLCs as they are tagged with "We are unable to verify ownership of this DLC" in the paradox launcher despite enabling them. Anyone knows a fix?
I followed your instructions and found the mods show up in the mod list. I enabled all of them but when I play the game, I don't see any mod feature. :(
i have a problem when i try downloading the second part chrome tels me it might be malcius virus etc and i cant do anything about it apparently how to stop this?
Extract the mod files to \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod This is NOT the main install folder, its a seperate folder in your Documents. If there isn't any folder called "mod" then create one. Afterwards, follow my method I posted below to enable them.

When I open dowser.exe I get an error General Error initalizing game container failed: loading config launcher-settings.json failed: Unexpected token. in JSON at position 179
Did you run the file "launcher-installer-windows.msi" (its in the same folder) to install the paradox launcher? Also make sure you open the file "launcher-settings.json" with any text-editor and change the line "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx".
I love you mate (no homo tho) XDD But really, thanks i won´t buy that game for so much money and i lost hope i could play with my favourite mods Cheers
Legit thanks for the update.. previous version didn't even worked or launched on my pc but this version totally works on my pc(win7) codex seems to work better.. at least on my end
Okay so i found out how to install and use mods on the new launcher and how to set the refresh rate from the poor 60 to match your desktop's every time you launch it, it was pretty easy all i needed was notepad to edit some files.
For the people who aren't able to access the launcher, open "launcher-settings.json" and change the line "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx". This worked for me, at least, because I was able to access the launcher afterwards.
so i own both the base game and pirate wilth dlcs and i did what you wrote and the mod manager for pirate saw all the mods but when i launched the game all the mods affecting gameplay their Ugc file from the mod folder was deleted any help for this lost soul?
I tried to post before, but I posted a link so it wasn't approved. copying over the DLC and CreamAPI into the game folder does let you play with DLC using the steam version, but not sure about other versions.
yea, 90% of the dlcs worked, but some of them (like distant stars) didn't worked. I think its because of the new 2.5 update, or and I got an older CreamAPI, idk
At the moment, There isn't any legit way on putting mods on the game other than changing the vanilla files themselves which nobody would recommend but if you know what you are doing then proceed. Because this is the only way on using mods and i suggest backing up the files before replacing them after all its really bad idea if you don't do it beforehand
Up this there doesn't seem any way to activate mods forcefully without the launcher but again if they can't crack it then guess thanks for the vanilla at least we have that
I used to be able to play the legit base game with pirated dlc before the update with CreamAPI, but after the update, the new launcher tells me I do not own the dlc and won't play it. Is there a way around this?
Is there a way to get the DLC to work with Steam MP? I own the base game on Steam and am just trying to get the DLC to work in MP, but every time I use the crack for dlc it says different version or game.
If I own the base game, but it's not letting me used the pirated dlc due to it not being able to verify ownership even after replacing the .json file what should I do? I'm using pirated DLC from when the game was still in 2.3, did they update pirated DLC?
hey, if you could send any advice my way then I would be very appreciative. After copy and paste your code into the .json, The game menu will launch from doswer. but after clicking play the menu fades and the game doesn't launch, any suggestions?
i dont know where else to get 2.4, but honestly theyre probably going to release 2.5 in the next week or two anyways, so I wouldn't worry about it. 2.4 is just bugfixes and a performance update anyways
Well 2.4 gives the game a new launcher and makes a few other changes but sure if 2.5 is coming in a week or two, then yea I guess it makes sense at this point to wait for it.
Yes. Main download is a full version of 2.3.0 but under the download section and instructions are the patches (Note you have to install all the patches there in sequence and the first patch and last patch botch the crack and you will have to manuelly apply it again after them. You can use the hlm and steam_api64 files in the Hoodlum folder on the main download's ISO or in the Hoodlum folder in the first 2 patches).
Hello good sir! So there is a thing called steamworks fix. Its a crack for the game. Basically its hacking your game to appear as spacewar in steam, so you can play ironman with this. The only problem that you risk your account to be banned, but I think steam just dont rly bother itself to search for this thing, bcs nobody were banned bcs of this like ever. Crack your game, paste the things from the rar into your main library, start steam, than you can check ironman mode. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vetxsJuhtshjliCDWn9shkkki2N9P0mA/view?usp=sharing
Ironman mode isn't broken and I doubt anyone is going to go through the trouble of altering the code for it. Just deal without it or buy the game. Those are really your choices.
Ironman is meant to be used with a steam user account, because this is pirated your not going to be able to use anything that requires an account. Just not going to happen and odds are extremely high that no one is going to alter code just to make that available. Going to have to learn to live without or buy the game.
How did you guys update the game to 2.3.1? The patch doesn't work. Please stop uploading shit before testing it first. I love it when these "genius" hackers can't even test their own installer... EDIT: here's what you need to do to get this working:
Install Stellaris A.R. without applying the crack.
Copy the steam_x64.dll and hlm.ini files, from the HOODLUM subfolder of the 2.3.1 patch, into your Stellaris installation folder (obviously overwrite when asked).
That step when you copy 2.3.1 crack files after install the 2.3.0(base game), just nonsense. It doesn't need. You need copy files from ISO, and update will run. Genius edit: i think the updates installers fixed lol
Compare with codex installers, the only difference, with hoodlum you have to copy every time the crack files, from iso, from the updates. With codex, you can install every update, and no need just the last update crack.
That is not gonna work. Need uninstall coz this 2 rar file(game) 2.3.0 So it is impossible install the updates on 2.2.4 You need install this 2.3.0 game first,then the updates.
you can download the mods from either skymods or through steam workshop downloader but that sometimes corrupts part of the mod and then you just put them into the mod folder
So i started a game, put a few hours into it in one session, saved and exited but now i cant get back into that load because its "missing DLC's" anybody know how to fix this?
For anyone that is having trouble installing. First: You downloaded the game and met with an error midway. To fully delete the game from your pc delete the folder from computer and the one from Documents (paradox interactive). Second: Start reinstaling with daemontools the image. After the instalation is succesfull copy the crack manualy into the game folder. Patching: After you downloaded the game you start patching here comes the first problem we went into. To begein paching you take the rar and clic setup and tell where is the folder with the game, it will start patching. When pathcing is complete copy the crack from the pach rar into folder and go to patch 2.3.2 and do the same. Now we arrive at 3.2.3 here you just start the setup and let it run after you tell the instalation progress where is the game folder. after patch 3.2.3 is done you may start the game. It worked for me like that hope i could help for anyone that had problems with the installation progres. (sorry for bad gramm if i had some)
okay this is strange, i can't open the update files (.rar files) ... keep getting "this file cannot be opened as archive" i'm using 7zip btw. Can you please confirm that the files aren't corrupt?? thx in advance
Having crashes on startup, tried even the base game (2.3.0 without any patches) from two sources, (mega, google drive) no unzip error, yet I get "Unhandled Exception C0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION)" crashes on Stellaris startup and yes I applied the crack. Anyone any ideas what i´m making wrong?
If you have the same C0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) error and use Win10, try updating it. At least updating my Windows fixed this weird issue for me.

anyone knows how to steamfix this? considering ive been dealing with this for the past few hours mostly renaming the local steam:api64 with another 64 so i can play mutliplayer either it says 0xc000007b or configuration file not found
Found out the problem. its the HOODLUM format. not only people claim its filled with errors, but my computer doesnt recorganize them, which makes the .zip files of the game install corrupted. so i can even enter or extract the files.
I can confirm that all the links here work as IGG links are known to be safe and working but sometimes errors happen due to anti virus, or not having the basic apps like microsoft vs and direct x, etc...

Does any1 can tell me how to run Mulitplayer on latest version? My friend and I tried to use firstly Smart Steam Emu but either something gone wrong or we're dumb. Also we tried the hammachi but with no effort. Please send help. P.S. Next comment is #666 so help me satan
Jo this here goes out to all people that get the "Division by Zero" error when updating vrom 2.3.0 to 2.3.1, you need to copy the contents of the crack folder to the game directory before you patch.
How about you "get with the times" and learn to read, because there's a link to the torrent site at the top of the page, and that torrent site has a search function that leads directly to the Stellaris upload.
I havent downloaded fromhere, but i asume is the HOODLUM ONE wich has a problem on the 2.3.2 update. here is how must be done: 1 install game (check install crack) 2 install update 2.3.1 3 after 2.3.1 update copy the crack (HOODLUM folder, NOT THE ONE FROM THE UPDATE, THE CRACK FROM THE GAME ISO) and replace. 4 install update 2.3.2 5 after update copy the crack from 2.3.2 (THIS ONE IS FROM THE UPDATE 2.3.2 HOODLUM FOLDER) and replace. i done it this way and works with DLCs enabled.
after patching to 2.3.1 you need to go back to the original game iso and copy the crack from there into the game folder in order to patch to 2.3.2. otherwise you won't be able to apply that patch
Hello, the files to download seem to be all damaged, I can't extract any.rar, I tried to dl them 4 times with 4 different hosts.... Does anyone have a solution or are the links dead today? :/
Does anyone know why my .mod files keep disappearing when i launch IGG stellaris?? I have a legit copy of stellaris and i download mods from the workshop and they show up when i launch steams stellaris but not IGG stellaris. (the .mod files show in the mod folder only when i launch steams stellaris but disappear when i launch IGG) https://imgur.com/a/epmohRq
I found a solution windowsdefender > virus and threat protection > virus and threat protection settings > Controlled folder access (manage controlled folder access > allow an app through controlled folder access > then add fifa 19 exe and fifa config exe
For those that are having problem patching correctly the updates, I will try to address the issue here. Make sure first when clicking on Browse to look for the path of where your game is installed because by default the installer looks for it in Program files. After you have installed the 2.3.1 update, copy the contents of the HOODLUM folder from the 2.3.1 update into the game folder. Then proceed to make the same operation for the 2.3.2 update. By manually copying the crack the hash is in concordance with the installation requirements so you will not get that strange: steam_api.dll is modified , and by manually copying the crack from 2.3.2 HOODLUM folder, the DLC will be unlocked. I hope my instructions were clear enough. Enjoy
What I found is to install 2.3.1 then install 2.3.2 and uncheck the verify hash box in the updater, after it installs copy the contents of the HOODLUM folder into the game folder, then run the exe.
cs rin fucked up with their files, multiplayer is broken because nobody allows you to join in their private playes. Unless you buy full version stellaris to fully enjoy all of it's contents and multiplayer from steam. Just play this cracked single player version, trust me, it's better than multiplayer experience and not worth the cash...
It give me a error about the d3dcompiler_47.dll, after found it and put into the main directory the error change to 0x00000007 or something like that that aparently should be fixed by installing a windows update the KB4019990, that for some reason also give me the error, any idea about what do here?
idk what you mean by smart steam but if you meant steam in general there are basically two things: If you have base game bought and only cracked dlcs you need cream.api If you cracked whole game you need steam.api In any way its not possible to play over steam with other "normal users" (who bought the base game) if you didnt buy base game.. Hope this helped
I found a steam.api and it’s work. Smart Steam Emu is like a steam but without steam, it’s a copy of steam, it’s good but hard to use with cracked games
I re-instal the game in an especific folder, the same error happened, wich type of folder i need to instal the pach? Like, the paradox interactive folder? other folders?
Simply download Stellaris and patch from this site. Install the game then install the patch by choosing the directory where Stellaris was installed. For example - if you installed Stellaris on F:/Games/Stellaris you should choose the same directory while installing patch. Hope this helps, can't explain it better.
Ok, this has stumped me, I have been using the IGG downloads for Stellaris with out problem for this game since synth dawn and i know how to install mods, but for some reason since the update (2.3.1) the luncher deletes the .mod files and does not see the DLC and i have found no clue how to fix it. Game runs fine just no mods or DLC. any help would be great.
Reinstall worked for me, just don't forget to backup your saves, mods, etc... I've had Stellaris from this site since 1.2 or 1.3 IIRC, and never had problems with it until this new 2.3 version... Mine didn't delete the DLCs or the mods, but it grayed out the DLC tab in the launcher until I reinstalled... I also noticed Ironman Mode doesn't run in this version... Do tell me if you find an easier fix for it :P
Google "Skymods Stellaris" to download mods from Steam Workshop.
After you download the mods you want, unpack them with WinRar. You will see the mod folder, a .mod file and a readme.
Go to C:\Users*Username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris. Put the .mod file in: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod Put the mod folder in: C:\Users\Username*\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\workshop\content\281990 Also, be sure to enable to mod in the Launcher when you start the game.
To anybody having similar problems - it was due to restricted "My Documents" access. Same thing with Killing Floor 2 not saving it's settings. It's because the retarded Windows 10 Ransomware Protection. You need to whitelist the game for it to be able to modify files in "My Documents" folder.
Stop asking for updates here people the REQUEST SECTION exists for a reason. Use it. https://igg-games.com/pc-game-738126637-request.html Don't ask for re-uploads either. IGG only re-uploads when every last link goes down. Speed differences are not a valid excuse for a re-upload; if you're experiencing slow download speeds, then get a download manager. Any comments asking for an update or a re-upload will be deleted.
Not sure If I'm just stupid... or if the files are corrupted. Downloaded vers 2 from 3 different links and can't extract from iso. I get Data error : Stellaris_ancient_Relics-HOODLUM\hlm-stel.iso Any tips would be greatly appreciated, cant seem to figure it out.
I have downloaded one part from MEGA and another from Mega Up and everything works fine. Maybe you had an error while downloading, try to download again.
I install the game, but when open it it dose like is going to but them just nothing happen. I already crack the game, can any one tell me what can this be, I think it could be some missing dll but not sure wish one. Ideas please. Sorry about my english, and cuban
in the SSE settings : add your friend IP in the two sides, and logicaly you will see his multiplayer sessions on the list (IMPORTANT ! you need original steam_api.dll files (if when you add a game on SSE, he said you dont have the original version, you need restore the origina lversion, sometimes the original file is just renamed steam_api.cdx, so reverse the 2 versions, don't use the crack, SSE crack automaticaly the games.)
I can't believe how many time the mods gotta tell people not to download an .exe or false .rar file for the updates. Some of y'all are real bad at this software piracy thing lmao.
I think it would have to be the Linux version of the game in order for it to work on Linux, and IGG only uploads PC games, so no, there's no way to play it on your OS
hey, the update 2.2.7 does not show up when i download the rar files, it is instead version 2.2.0 for me. am i doing anything incorrectly? the supposed links to previous versions also apparently contain viruses according to chrome, and along with other users, the part 2 file seems to be non-operational. fix this please, thanks.
Did you download an exe file? When opening the exe, did you get a rar file, or am I missing something? If the above is true, you downloaded an ad, make sure you get the correct file.
Nope. took a GoG version after that and it works like a charm. Bit long too load (black screen before the main loading) but still working. I'm way other a week time of play.

I installed the game with the Codex content, I saw the DLCs files in the game directory, but it still does not work, I only play with the Megacorp content. Can anyone help me please? FIXED
Played it without any problems. The thing is DLC don't show up or don't exist. They are in the games folder but can't be played in the game. This is really bad because this game has like +10 dlc and not 1 works. I tried run as an admin, firewall but nothing. Is there a solution?

Installed and played yesterday for a few Hours. Wanted to Restart today, but it gets stuck in the loading screen. It just doesnt go past that. I deleted the Folder in the documents and reinstalled everything, but it just doesn't go past 10-20% in the loading screen.
One of the best Grand Strategy games out there! It's more than just the fleet battles- it's also about the stories of your fleets, planets, leaders, and so much more!
Just click to any link that contain the update file and start downloading, after that extract the files from the archive and start the aplication called "setup" on the update folder, lead it to your game's folder. After finish updating, put the files in the codex to the game's folder. Enjoy :)
Run it as Admin, but it dont work. I installed it as Adim new and still i dont get the dlc's. I want to get the special Races, like Robots, have i to unlock them?
Hello, I have applied all patches in correct order and allowed the copy of teh content on directory but still the Launcher says 2.2.2 at start of tha game.
Can someone help me install the mods? I got the game working but I am not sure how to activate the mods. I unzipped the mod packs in the main install folder and in the dlc folder, still nothing comes up in the mod section to activate in the starter
It depends where you get the mods, but normally you have two files. The .Mod files go into the "mod" folder. The folder you may get with a lot of numbers goes into C:\Users(your name)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\workshop\Content\281990 If you are looking for were to get the mods, I normally get mine from Skymods.
Thanks IGG for the continuous updates and the hard work, if anyone needs any assistance with getting their stellaris to work or would like to get a multiplayer crack to allow them to play on steam servers with other cracked players then Mirage community would love to assist fellow pirates! https://discord.gg/wFuevRx
To patch the game to, let's say 2.2.4 while having the Stellaris Megacorp game without any of the previos updates installed, do I need to install each of the update packs listed below or just the one I want to patch to? **Fool question maybe, but maybe the patches are bundled ??
ah thats good to hear. I know it isnt necessarily a negative but I was paranoid since last time I downloaded this game from IGG it showed me playing it to my friends. Thanks for the reply Lino
I know i want them to do what they did in the past make a new tab or whatever it is called when you look up stellaris there is different versions with all of the dlcs thats what i would like becasue its hard to find a 2.1 version on the internet
does this really have all the DLC? I cant create a machine empire and I feel like a lot of DLC content is not present...in the launcher it says no dlc installed so whats the deal?
in CODEX installation you need mark the box "Copy contents of CODEX directory to installdir" with this DLC it work remember activate the in stellaris launcher.
Hi, sorry but I have a problem: mods which I have installed, aren't detected by the launcher. Can someone help to resolve the problem ? Some people told me to create a folder name "mods" and to put the mods here but it didn't work... Thanx in advance.
Hi, I did everything as told, updated, craked, and so on. But if I press start in the launcher the game starts, but the screen keeps being black and the game crashes. Anyone a solution?
This game has a fairly long load time at the start, and crashes if you do literally anything during the loading time. You probably did something whilst the game was loading. Try waiting a few minutes after you've pressed start. If that doesn't work, check if you have installed all software that is listed here: http://igg-games.com/black-screen-cant-start-games.html
try re downloading it a cracking it, on the screen that has the files running down it matrix style, it will be the button on the left not the install on the right, after cracking then install
Am I the only one having trouble with the saves? I can't seem to save after I exit and return to desktop. I could save at first but after awhile it stops saving. and I cant solve it.
i met the problems with pops_api.dll, it kept saying that entry point POPS_LegalGetDocumentsList could not be located in the dynamic link library pops_api.dll , How should i fix this( I have downloaded Distant Star then download the update link, i can play only Distant Star but not MegaCorp
I downloaded the game through the Mega link and the version that tells me the game is 2.2.0 and we know when it starts loading the data to start the game, the bar that indicates that the data is loading is frozen and not get moving.
okay so i figured it out, first you need to extract it, 2nd move the entire file to when your game is, it should be in documents then find the paradox folder, then you just slap it down next to one of the games files,( not in one of files it should be its own separate file) then you want to double click it to open it, when you do that you should see like 4 things pop up in the folder, double clic the setup program. then some really loud retro 1990s hacker music starts playing (not making that up). then there should be a "run" button clic that and your done.
i requsted it many times along with other people, it is kinda a popular request so why do you think they didn't deliver, also there was a guy here in the comments that gave the 2.2.2 patch but his comment was removed why :(
The pictured error when extracting part 2. Drive has enough space, i've tried with part 2 from mega, and google drive. Part 1 was successfully extracted, mounted, and installed.
You don't extract part 2. Download all parts then only extract part 1. Once part 1 is extracted open the folder and load up the .exe file or mount iso file. Follow the instructions from there. Important Remember to tick the box that says "Copy contents of CODEX directory to installdir". If you don't tick that box the game won't be cracked when you load it up.
Hey guys, I dont know if someone have/had this problem but actually, when i launch Stellaris, I can see it in the process launching but after few seconds it disappears and nothing more happen... any ideas? I just made a full reinit of my comp so i dont really understand why...
when i start new game loading screen freezes on one spot. when i open task manager its says that stellaris is running but it is frozen on that loading screen images change but green thing dont go up a little. (sry for bad english)
People are super dense nowadays, like really stupid, if you go out of your way to pirate a game, at least do some BASIC search before asking retarded questions like how to crack, they even included a tick in the installator that copies the crack automaticaly for you, yet dumb morons still come here and cry that the game doesn't work or they don't have DLC. Like this is 1st grade computer skill, copying files, how dense can you be?
Lads, if the DLC isn't showing up in the launcher, there is a 99% chance that either you haven't cracked the game, or your antivirus deleted/quarantined it. Rant: Why is it that with almost every single Paradox-game, people forget to crack the game, and consequently go and complain about the DLCs far more so than with other games? Most games here don't even work at all without cracking them, so I don't understand why these are so different.
During the installation, tick the box in front of "Copy content of CODEX file". If you have already installed the game, you can also just copy the content of the CODEX file manually to the game's files.
right so enibody els having problems launching a actual game. i run the game it starts i get in the main menu,i pres new game,select a empire and then while the game is loading in it dosent move past half of the load screan no mater how long i weit
Are you talking about missing DLC? If so, crack the game. If not, what is the problem here? The civics and authorities in the screenshot are all there, and you can select them.
There's a little quirk with the .mod files. Among other information, they provide the game with the (relative) path of the mod folder. This is given with the "path=" variable. This was changed from "archive=" a few updates ago. However, the .mod files were not automatically updated with that change, so they still have the "archive=" variable instead of "path=" TL;DR: Go to %USERPROFILE%\documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod, edit ALL .mod files and replace "archive=" with "path=".
As of Dec. 7, this is version 2.2.0, NOT 2.2.1. Unfortunately, I need 2.2.1 (I have one of the dual-core computers that cannot start a new game with 2.2). EDIT: Read down a bit further -- press the ~ key and type the "ThreadCount" thing; works just fine!
Depends on the latest update's reception in the reviews. I'd recommend waiting on this one; the latest reviews on this update are almost universally negative. You might wanna wait while they iron out the bugs and tweak some of the new features, though honestly, it just seems like the game is getting worse and worse after every major update. Seems like half the people that played the game dropped off after 2.1, and now the half that stayed are saying 2.2 sucks. If the game's development continues in this direction, it's not gonna last long
But why people should think about it negatively? I've played Stellaris for quite a bit of time and I have never been pissed of because of any update... just can't understand what people hate so much.
Mainly, people didn't like the major changes Stellaris went through in the 2.0 patch, such as removing the other FTL methods. A lot of people say that the game was an "actual" 4X Sci-Fi game before 2.0 turned it into basically EU4 in space. Of course many people, namely those who love EU4 and the other paradox titles, were totally okay with it, but other people who wanted an actual 4X experience dropped off. Honestly, I don't blame them. 2.0's changes were way too major. You can't just develop a game for, what, 2 years, and then suddenly flip its development direction like that. 1.9 Stellaris and 2.0 Stellaris are practically 2 different games, and a lot of people are complaining that they didn't pay to have the game they enjoyed be turned into a totally different game. Now, the people who actually liked 2.0 and 2.1's major changes appear to hate 2.2 because, ironically, "it completely changes the game". This quote is more less in quite a few of the newest reviews. The Stellaris development team has a weird habit of changing the game too much, and it's not doing them any favors
In my opinion changed FTL methods are very good, I feel very... "safe" when I know that the entrances to my empire are protected by space stations at decent chokepoints and the only way to bypass them is to develop high-end technology rather than having it from the beginning. So it's ok for me. Megastructures? Awesome. Leviathans? Even more. MegaCorp is... different. I know that I have to get used to it but even after several hours of gameplay it feels... overwhelming a bit. Old planet tiles were simply and good. The new ones will be hard to understand to me for a bit of time. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it, fortunately there are many tutorial videos on YT. So for any complaing players I can tell you: get used to it or just don't play. It's just a game, right?
"So for any complaing players I can tell you: get used to it or just don't play." I agree with this. Let me reaffirm that all the complaints I listed off aren't even my own. I stopped playing the game when 2.0 dropped, so I have no real reason to complain, it's just that I kept following the game's development to see if it got any better (in my opinion) but over the course of months spent following its development direction, I haven't really found much reason to get back into it, at least going off of the negative reviews I read describing some glaring problems. Still, I get that these changes are what some people have wanted from the beginning so I can respect that there are those that like them. It's just that I still think they should have kept 1.9 and 2.0 separate as games, though, in hindsight, I'm not sure how they would even accomplish that, to be honest. In any case, enjoy the game.
Well, I didn't even said that YOU are complaining :) Anyway it's nice to see somebody who can say "I don't enjoy this game so I won't play it anymore but I respect all the people willing to play it anyway" instead "I'm not playing this game anymore so any of players who keep playing it are a dumbassshitomfgloosers" :D And thank you, will see how the new updates will affect the rate of replayability of Stellaris :)
Also if someone have problem that their game doesnt want to crate univerce: try to type « Threading.TaskThreadCount 4 »(w/o quotemarks) while you at main menu.Helped me.Gonna play "Kaori After Story" now Edit:it was already mentioned but anyway
for those having trouble with the DLC. I found that copying the contents of the CODEX and pasting it in the general Stellaris megacorp file. Then the DLC's should be launch-able
You need to copy the contents of the folder named CODEX into the main game folder Stellaris.MegaCorp -> CODEX -> 3 files and move them to Stellaris MegaCorp (the one that you installed)
Repost from a month ago Some DLC is indeed missing. Luckily, copying the missing DLCs from an older version (2.1.2) appears to solve this. I have made an archive with the missing DLC. Just drop it in the game's folder. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZHmKsbgV3QhI2FKdylu0XJuCJPaY8E07/view Note: Only tested on 2.1.4. Newer versions may experience problems.
Does someone know anything about a Steamworks Crack? I mean there are some but they dont work or are from Voksi/Revolt so you cant download them because the site was downed
Here it is, my friend. The trick is that, you have to modify the existing ini if a new dlc is coming. Literally just adding a new row of the existing items under dlc. Look for the REVOLT.ini. You will get what i am talking about.(F.e: 066 = "steamidofnewthing") Btw, you can use this. It is working. Did it myself: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-ifbOM7WzOmRTDF9aWNBKO8K0Z7Sg7aQ/view?usp=sharing
On the most it say false Version and it dont load the Mod. But at the NSC2 Mod (New Ship Classes) and Real Solarsystem it seems all ok but the Mods dont load into Game

In version 2.1.2, the AI in the game is broken. The AI researches the same tech they have already researched making them inferior in technology in the long run. I'll buy the game, it's worth it after taking a demo from a pirated version.
its not only the AI for me its the perks. no matter what path i follow the one perk i was looking for (mind over matter) never shows up nor does the other special perks. i thought it had all dlc not just the basic game.
Why are you advertising multiplayer here? You can't exactly play multiplayer when playing a cracked version of a game, unless you have a way for cracked players to play together.
No, it actually is possible to play Paradox games multiplayer, but only with people who have cracked copies of the same games. As long as a server is set up, it's possible, and as evidenced by the comment, communities often form around people with cracked copies of the game who frequently play multiplayer
Sorry, but no, I don't. I don't play Paradox games in multiplayer, so I've never bothered to learn how to set up multiplayer for them. You'll have to find out yourself.
*Aug 16 update: we've added some necessary fixes. The version number will not change but the checksum will now be 5bcb. This should fix saves from previous versions where the end game crisis was not expanding as well.
Whats the difference between all the stellaris versions on igg games? Like Stellaris Galaxy, Stellaris Utopia, Stellaris Distant Stars? Like what is the main game?
the distant star is the latest one. stellaris>utopia(add mega structure)>distantstars(revamp almost all content(border, add new element, change how to travel, fleet limit, new disaster,etc)
Main game is Stellaris, Stellaris Nova and Stellaris Galaxy. The first one includes just the base game (I think) and the other ones include extras. Stellaris Utopia, Distant Stars are expansions and/or DLC
It is okay to update the game, but keep in mind that not everyone will update as soon as a new patch is released. You can backup older versions. If you have the game on steam, you can also revert to older versions
Hey! Why are the mods not working? I enable them in the starting console, but they don't work in game; as in they don't show up at all, my game works fine, but that's it! No mods, pls help.
I don't know why, but i just had to change the mod path to the /mod folder instead of /workshop ( in ALL of the mods ) + throw the mods there and everything worked fine. Hope that helps EDIT: oops, i thought you had the same issue as me. In my case even the starting console didn't see the mods, but your problem seems to lie elsewhere.
I'm not sure the 2.1.1 update is operationnal, my game is now missing pops_api.dll and BuffPanelSdk.dll, but it worked fine before. I found the pops_api online, but don't know where to put it, and I didn't find the second file anyway... Any Help ?
I was able to update to 2.1.1 fine and just place on the main game folder the dll files if you're missing it, it didn't happen to me though when I updated it
May I get some help pls?, I´m trying to play but everytime I try to start the game, a window opens saying that something called d3dx9_.dll is missing and reinstalling the game could repair this but I had try it several times and the problem continues, pls some help = (
Just a heads up, careful with where you install it, especially if you include the codex UNINSTALLER. You might end up deleting an entire folder if you uninstall it. I usually put all my pirated game installs in a "Free Games" folder. I accidentally installed this Stellaris game files directly in this folder (copy pasted the wrong directory level). In my foolish attempt to retry the installation into the tidier directory arrangement, I used the UNinstaller BUT it WIPED OUT everything in that "Free Games" folder. Either opt-out of the Uninstaller option during the installation or just use the default install directory. Don't repeat my mistake.
You could, before you start the install, make a folder inside of your "Free Games" Folder named "Stellaris" or whatever, and have it install into that.
Stellaris 2.1.1 patch/update with some fixes and changes went out about a week ago, could someone please upload it/or the new 2.1.1 version of the game? Obviously its all up to admin/team here, but the new features of "L clusters" in 2.1.0 is a little bit of a mess and that update would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
Yes I have and it worked but only initially. After I restarted my computer the host screen had the red dot (instead of the green one when the server is ready). Is it a problem with the reboot corrupting the file? And if so, is there any fix to the problem? Ps. I play only with my brother on the same network. Is there a way to use LAN instead (as the game description suggests)?
I'm sorry but I can't help you with this since I haven't had this problem myself, but sounds like your firewall/AV is blocking the file or something. LAN should work perfectly fine without it.
I'm glad it works! If you really want the distant stars, I'm pretty sure you can add it in the .ini file. Just scroll down to the dlc list and add the line :) (It worked for me)
Use this site: http://stellaris.smods.ru/ It has installation instruction. Alternatively, you can also use this site: http://steamworkshop.download/ where you paste the workshop link to the mod, then it gives you a download link. Same instructions from the previous site apply to that site
Goto CODEX file. that has Steam_api's in it and copy everything into main game folder. E:\stellaris\codex-stellaris.distant.stars\codex-stellaris.distant.stars\CODEX
Search for it on google. If IGG didn't already include it in the game, then it's up to you to figure where to find a language pack for a different language and apply it, and that's only if the language you're looking for is supported by the game, but in this case, it should be
IGG only uploads 64 bit Windows games, not games from Linux or Mac. I suggest switching to Windows, or making a virtual machine that runs on Windows and using it to play the games on this site
It's not from them, people take their name and add games to make a website. I'll have to delete your comment now since you can't post link from other cracked game website.
It's not IGG-Games that's fast (even though they are an amazing group) it's CODEX, CPY, Steampunks, and all of the other hard-working crack groups that are fast. I would suggest you look up the websites of each of these and go and thank them personally, they don't get enough of it :)
I dont see the 2.2/2.4 update downloads. Will I need to uninstall the the previous 2.0 apocalypse download and reapply the old updates with this, the 2.1 release? Or do they no longer work well together? Alternatively, does this 2.1 release have them included already and is thus the definitive edition, containing all patches/dlc?
this should be the latest update as of today made standalone with all DLCs , distant stars version is 2.1 as usual made standalone, you should aim for a clean install, and since this update messes up with the map generation i dont think older savegames will work; if you refer as to 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 updates, theres no need for them
I find the problem with Distant Stars DLC. Removing it from my game folder makes Stellaris works. However putting it back in, Stellaris no longer works. J ust my two cents.
isnt the 2.4 update supposed to include a crack folder? only see an update folder with exe and other folders like common gfx interface etc. I can get the game to run but not sure if this is the reason why it requires me to be logged into steam before playing, and shows 'spacewars' on my profile while playing.
Uhhhhh so when i run the game it shows my profile on steam as online and playing a game called 'SpaceWar'. Is this...normal? Safe? It even shows on your profile as games recently played. Is there any way to prevent it from logging you in? Not sure I want to play this if itll sign me in. Not really interested in multiplayer for this. Is it possible to request a single player only download of this game? Never encountered this before even with games that have online features like XCOM for example
I was recommended to look for a SP attachment at another site. Probably won't work with this exact download so Ill have redownload the whole enchilada elsewhere for a non MP crack.
if you updated 2.2 just fine then just copy everything in update into game folder did 2.4 include a crack folder for you? Im assuming the crack folder is made up of dll and ini files usually and in this case they just didnt pack them into a crack folder. But could be wrong
When updated to 2.0.4 it tells me start steam first. I've just replaced the old files with the new ones. Is there any old 2.0.2 crack file to delete? Thanks!
sorry but are you able to play this without being signed into steam? I applied both 2.2 and 2.4 and can only play this while signed into steam with it showing up under 'recently played'
I'm not so sure about it being a multiplayer crack since I've never really played online before but from what I've seen, it's just the usual crack I don't even have steam installed yet it works fine (and it also worked fine on older releases) just use the crack in CODEX folder that came with the 2.0.2 update after you've installed both 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 updates.... or just download the new "distant stars" story pack release
i've made a request for 2.0.4 a few days ago..still nothing ? OH COME ON !! :( i have nothing to play at work x_x (and dont you dare say i should work instead of playing. you have no idea what im working at&for and i'm entitled to some stellaris relaxation.)
So I updated the game and have the "DLC signatire", I can find the zipped DLC files but not sure what to do from there. I tried extracting but that didnt do much. Any advice?
i found out how to get the dlc. working in the 2.0.2 update file you have 2 folders 1 that says update and one that says codex once you use update well to update you copy the files in codex and past them into the apocalypse folder then the dlc should work
Seriously need 2.0.2, the amount of changes is Dramatic. I think right now it's as an opt-in beta in Steam. Post-launch support for an update this big is so important.
Someone knows how to fix my problem, when I opened stellaris after the loading it just close itself it happens all the time . I already crack it . I already installed the components still not working ..need help please
Disable your anitvirus and re-apply the crack. If that doesn't work, do not do anything when you launch the game. The Clausewitz engine does not like any sort of input when it's loading.
I followed what u said still .. but now after i create my own race then click the start button the game close in an instant .. i have the minimum requirememts so idk whats the problem...
For those of y'all wondering about multiplayer capability from my understanding pirated games don't have multiplayer since you connect via Steam servers. Also since they constantly update the game if y'all have different version you can't play. However I know of a program called Tunngle which allows you to play games multiplayer on the condition y'all have the same version obviously. Tunngle's website is :https://www.tunngle.net/en/. This is what I use to play Stellaris with my friend. (Of course be aware of viruses and stay safe y'all!)
i know fix Stellaris and not open... who have windows 10...click open windows defender go to virus & threat protection settings and all off!!! try open Stellaris
Use this site to download mods: http://stellaris.smods.ru/ It has all mods from the steam workshop and allows you to request any mod that isn't already there
I know how to fix dlc problem. first of all, thanks to id "No one" step1: copy steam_api.dll from other version of stellaris. I mean... that.. working dll file. step2: open steam_emu file with text viewer step3: scroll to the bottom, 'll see some lines, related to dlc copy and change like this: [DLC] ###

I honestly don't get why people get the same DLC problem every single time the game is updated and the new version is uploaded to the site. I never get these problems. Are all these people making the same mistake of not copying the crack files to the game?

So whenever on the installer there's an option that says "Copy contents of Codex into Installer" and I don't know you may not have done that whenever installing, maybe worth a reinstall to try it out? (It doesn't come pre-click it's an option you have to select yourself, probably why people miss it.)
Yeah that's what I did. I'm familiar with the process because some of the games in igg are like that. I just redownloaded and reinstalled it and its fine now.
i know fix Stellaris and not open... who have windows 10...click open windows defender go to virus & threat protection settings and all off!!! try open Stellaris
Make sure that there are no remains left in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod\ since they might cause problems. If the Error still occurs try deleting the Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris folder. If you still have the Error, make sure that you start the stellaris.exe as admin. That should solve it, at least thats what worked for me. If it doesent work for you i cant really help you :/ (also if you have any mods enabled, wich you shouldnt if you emptied the \mod folder, disable them all.
I fixed no DLC showing by copying steam_api.CDX steam_api.dll steam_emu (this one wasn't there at all) from stellaris 1.8.3 However as expected I only get the old DLC (no apocolase)
Cant u add the DLC manually into the Steam_emu? Here thats the Appid of the new dlc: 716670 Or is the new dlc not even in the DLC folder? (\Stellaris\dlc) The whole list of Appid´s is here: 0 = 447680 1 = 447681 2 = 447683 3 = 462720 4 = 498870 5 = 518910 6 = 553280 7 = 554350 8 = 633310 9 = 642750 10 = 716670 [dlc_names] 0 = Stellaris: Symbols of Domination 1 = Stellaris: Sign-up Campaign Bonus 2 = Stellaris: Arachnoid Portrait Pack 3 = Stellaris: Creatures of the Void 4 = Stellaris: Plantoids Species Pack 5 = Stellaris: Leviathans Story Pack 6 = Stellaris: Utopia 7 = Stellaris: Horizon Signal 8 = Stellaris: Anniversary Portraits 9 = Stellaris: Synthetic Dawn 10 = Stellaris: Apocalypse
You're missing out on a few. Also, it does include all DLCs, it's just not there when the installer finishes. There is another folder in the ISO file that contains the missing files. Copy of DLC section from one of those files:
447680=Stellaris: Symbols of Domination 447681=Stellaris: Sign-up Campaign Bonus 447683=Stellaris: Arachnoid Portrait Pack 461071=Stellaris: Pre-Order 462720=Stellaris: Creatures of the Void 554350=Stellaris: Horizon Signal 447687=Stellaris: Ringtones 518910=Stellaris: Leviathans Story Pack 498870=Stellaris: Plantoids Species Pack 553280=Stellaris: Utopia 633310=Stellaris: Anniversary Portraits 642750=Stellaris: Synthetic Dawn 756010=Stellaris: Humanoids Species Pack 716670=Stellaris: Apocalypse
here is the changelog if interested, big changes to focus, colonisation, ground war, bombardement and fortresses space wars, and jump drives https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Apocalypse
None of the DLC are working. They are listed in the files but do not work... do they need to be cracked? There is no crack included... previous versions had them. EDIT: Found. They are stored in the ISO which is very misleading/hidden. Once you have installed go into my computer and look at your drives. You should see the Stellaris mounted image. Looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/p1tjb - double click it. Cracks are located in there. These did not appear the first time I mounted the image because it autoruns the install so many, including myself, assume that's all the ISO contains.
You have probably fixed it, but the DLC cracks are located in the mounted image (in my Computer). Just double click and it reveals them. Very counter-intuitive and not too user friendly.
And this is why I went back to torrenting. Direct links always have problems like GDrive being overwhelmed by too many downloads, yet the torrents have no such problems
Odd why you people had so much problem ok before i bought stellaris i download stellaris from this site. I dont remember having all type of error you people having this past month,what i did is i just install i dont add the crack file before updating after i update the game i add the crack file in the the update provide instead from the installation location crack. No error no nothing just smooth run and if you want download this game make sure your computer had 4GB ram with 64bit system more ram the better and dual core of 2.97 intel with 2GB video ram. If you spec not as what i mention dont download the game.
Made the account just to help the rest of u guys.
If your STELLARIS IS NOT UPDATED TO 3.6 you missed a file on this page!
The file is NOT next to the usual "part1/2/3/4" files , scrolled higher up and as long as you PAY ATTENTION , above the system requirements you will see a tiny section called "Update 3.6". Download it and simply install it, read the instructions in it.
This is probably the case for a lot of the games on this site , i myself am gonna start double checking the whole page now. I had no idea about this until i couldnt find a clear answer in the chat so i started analysis the page.
YOURE WELCOME wasted 10 mins typing this for you , i NEVER comment on the internet, this is my first on any site including youtube and reddit. Go play your up to date pirated games you scrub :P
Update from version 3.5.3. to
Error modifying (insert every file in the game)"
If ur first downloading this
AFTER u extract everything MAKE SURE to look for the FOLDER DLC and install them one by one theres around 19dlc
AFTER THAT go update your game if u update ur game u wont be able to INSTALL the dlc
then Ta-Dah you have all dlc with the lastest update
NOW IF U WANT TO PUT MODS
Download them and put the folder here
Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod
And Copy paste the .MOD file from there change the name and put it on Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod So there will be the main folder of the mod and the .mod file
Open "launch stellaris.exe" Check if your mods are now enabled just make sure those mods are updated 3.6
i had to spent hours to fix this but if the mod is telling an error like "This archive path in the mod's descriptor file is invalid or does not exist."
Go to your mod folder and look for the one with this problem and OPEN AS "note bloc or whatever just to read the file" the .mod file u need to add or edit this. path="mod/(name of the mod folder)"
Example: i have planet.mod(planet is the same name of the mod folder) i open as on a note bloc to add this
path="mod/planet" save it and check on the stellaris launcher and it should be fixed
enjoy ur game sorry my english is not my first language

Stellaris still just as hard the last time it was a real purge to succeed in installing it properly here it's even worse so in the order of what is causing the problem there are no DLCs there are no there is no way to use it as an update of the previous one it makes the previous one which contained the DLC disappear Since there was the Gog launcher on the previous one and that there is more and well we can no longer put a mode no here all the issues so please i know you are doing your best to give us the best possible experience there are games that are being updated and added every day and i am probably talking bullshit but i think it's done by volunteers And in general when there are manipulations to be done after the download it's something that is extremely easy so I thank you very much but here for once it must be rare but on stellaris it doesn't didn't work The tutorials for installing or updating don't change anything since only the tutorial for installing can be used so unless you need a manipulation specifically specifically for this game, what is possible and well that does not work I tried to install it in several parts I tried via torrent I searched in the files to see if I had to do something to install the DLCs once installed it does not work I tried to regroup it with the old stellarist that I hadn't deleted it doesn't work I tried to follow the classic installation tutorial it doesn't work the update tutorial it doesn't work
(make sure to select the same install location for the base game and dlcs)
(there is a Bonus folder with other files like wallpapers etc but those aren't needed for the game)
RIP Modding
不过游戏加载比以前的版本快多了
i've tried to change it by Settings-layout and Launcher-settings but it seems like to not working? if anyone know,let me know please.
Do you happen to play under windows 11 ?
edit ; my bad team shit's fine i am dumb i missed the big fucking folder name dlc
this launcher always block mod i use with say "invalid file or wrong direction", while i have use it well with same setting.
can you guys do?
it's not working anymore.
don't expect.
must be stellaris team is have big problem.
yearly, i mean.
and it isnt work even after install steam.
seems you didnt open it or make noise?
i dont like noise.
dismiss.
edit ; perhaps it should be noted that i exclusively use megaup.net links, you can't rule out that somebody could have fucked up the uploads on other sites with a lesser version
I would recommend waiting for another release from IGG before installing it. I have has cases where I let it run for 30 minutes or so and it "updates" the version but then I am missing a background picture, buttons, crashes, etc. there is a lot going on right now.
Please be patient so they can push another release for us. :)
why developers keep making this game suck???
they are awful.
maybe they doing experiment instead of let people enjoy game.
Yes paradox experiments, and it's great, users give feedback, what works is reinforced, what doesn't is scrapped. Stellaris is a ever-changing game, you should have been aware of this by 2.0 when the game was turned upside down.
you are just working for paradox company.
whatever i say i may give u info.
i was had mod problem just.
so you saying spreading and insist idea that BLM or feminism is fantastic?
yeah, sure black lives are metter.
but you think "white lives metter" as some kind of nazi, dont you?
what stupid reason that i have to love paradox and fund them even small???
you know what?
this page is all free game.
and you say pirate or something in this area?
hahahaha.
go dump urself with your insane idea.
i want u shut up, or i must be think you as just idiot.

these guys are sick and tired!
if you choose original species, instead of chinese looking, you will see ur leader is bald.
i suspect what kind of people developing this game.
Anyone knows how to fix it?

I dont believe part 3 is having much of an issue and its likely just looking for something missing.
Im wondering if this is just a me issue or if others are also having this problem.
I got it all from MegaUp btw

Well good thing I still store my 3.1 version since it's using installation process instead repack type it doesn't cause the game misbehaving like this repack it causing issue in system next thing I knew I have 5GB ram memory leak.
Guess 3.1 back for me .
Any data for GOG 3.9.x version of the game so we can play multiplayer again?
part1: Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.7z.001
part2: Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.7z.002
part3: Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.7z.003
but:
part4: Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.part4.rar
Can you give me the link to Stellaris.Galaxy.Edition.v3.8.3.1-GOG.7z.004?
Open your steam
Go to library and find that button where you can add a game in your local computer (google it because I forgot how)
Find stellaris executable
Create a shortcut of that game using steam (again google that, make sure its a shortcut created by steam not the shortcut created by "send to desktop" in file exporer)
Open stellaris using that shortcut. Done.
Also, if you're all afraid of getting banned, create a second steam account, it takes 2 minutes only and should help with the fear of getting sent to the shadow realm
even i changed link of json file into gog,
it is require to install and open steam
Pretty please :>

Help
you feel urgent for build up great reset and blame free users as pirate here?
why don't you guys look yourself before say we are pirate?
you guys are more than pirate.
you don't feel you guys are wrong?
then you guys are dumb or liars.
why do we have to listen you guys?
is it place for report problem?
no, this site let us use report page.
then is it paradox forum?
no.
then what is reason for just have attack without resist from paradox fan or worker?
those paradox related guys say we are pirate.
then are you pirate?
you are free to say "Bro, this is not your public blog",
then it's free for me to say something.
Oh, Come On!
i chose blond king became bald black hair,
and i saw all the original human species turn into chinese looking.
since you say me chill out, ill try.
but im not happy for their dirty doing.
so you reveal yourself as intruder and roll fingers on your head.
hahaha.
less smart.
Looked through few comments from this user and it all seems to be AI generated bullshit. Or he is some kind of mental hospital escapee with internet access xD
i was successful with copy skill thread in save file, only failed with fallen empire escort ship.
i told it to him/her ... and after, this version isn't allow we use fallen empire skills like that.
i found who is destroying fun of this game.
yeah, i definitely think these guys just doing experiment to users, instead of doing simple game business.
adjusted value isnt seen on every choice.
who are bad of stellaris team???
bad management??? or programmers???
better deactivate mod which make crash.
there are some menu's of launcher, you can see adjust dlc and mod.
with that, you can activate or deactivate mod.
if you open it with note or note++, concentrate on "browserDlcUrl" and "distPlatform" strings on the top.
if you see it's directing steam, change them like this:
"browserDlcUrl": "https://www.gog.com/game/stellaris",
"distPlatform": "gog",
you will see problem solved if it was steam.
this game is force us not to play with blonde leadership, force chinese looking species and chinese language name list.
It seems we're missing a 3.4.4 version which is what the 3.4.4.2 updates.
Weekly HOI4,EU4,Stellaris Games. Small but friendly environment for newbies and veterans to join.
I am experiencing issues regarding the dlcs.
When I try installing them, they start, ask me to choose a language and then the installer never opens.
Is there any way I can fix this issue?
PS: The base game doesn't have any issues.
You can get mods from Skymods, just google them. the mods from that site will give you two files a .mod file and a folder. The .mod goes into your
C:\Users\your name\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod
While the folder goes into:
C:\Users\your name\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\workshop\Content\281990
can you see section "updated"?
3.2.2 and 3.3.1
step 1 - download and install base game
step 2 - dowload and install updated 3.2.2
step 3 - dowload and install updated 3.3.1
in all need copy "crack" in game folder
maybe cant install correctly
to change archive dowser.exe
.launcher-cache
content_load.json or dlc_load.json (depending on game)
game_data.json
mods_registry.json (optionally, also delete the mods folder)
newsfeed
Peace
How can I manually install mods here?
Just copy paste certain file that mod going to replace.
But i suggest learn to edit the common file by your self instead using mod. Because i already had legit stellaris i cant go online because how massive the file i edit basically make me a god tier.like my battleship it has 6 slot each section all of it is 12 slot each sections.
If you need guide in editing what file just reply this comment.
My game just dont have any DLC but it marked ALL DLC in this site
and press Enter
You will see newest update file download link.
but nothing recorded on those celestial boy.
this game at least need to benchmark, but just raise version number.
https://discord.gg/nSEzf6dya2
you need to copy the files from the virtual drive to your main unit
ask help from others who have fix cost internet 1st.
open that file with "note++" program and change specific strings like this:
a. change url direction string of "browserDlcUrl" into "https://www.gog.com/game/stellaris"
b. change string of "distPlatform" as "gog"
a. change url direction string of "browserDlcUrl" into "https://www.paradoxplaza.com/stellaris-all/"
b. change string of "distPlatform" as change string of "distPlatform"
(if you can't see full url strings above, open it and copy url address)
note: we don't know what is wont work after it changed
if someone didnt understand just look at the bot of your hard disks it should have DVD Stellaris just enter there go to codex folder get the steam_aip copy all and follow the instructions of man above
I kind of get the feeling this is fixed on steam's end, and will need a new crack.
edit: I understand now what you meant, the .ini file is in the drive mounting the .iso file? But that cannot be edited so idk what the fuck is going on
Pls read (im no a very English speaker)
its this work pls give like to all see !!
except fallen empire mods
2 fallen empire independant mod make error of machine population error i checked.
if u don't know, u better not say this long and make confuse people.
Edit: figured it out you had to open pack one and extract i opened pack two so a part didnt extract odd.
it's so dumb!
you have homework now.
research what we told and report it to me.
can anyone help me
is that because politics of sweden?
we better use it just for setting
it is awful.
i want someone help me.
no spam.
I used launcher (once I found it) to enable the dlcs, then it worked as it should.
Note:
You can either enable or disable all of the dlcs at once, launcher gives you no option to choose which ones to activate or not individually.
You can however delete the dlcs that you don't want or put them elsewhere if ever if you want for just some specific dlcs to be activated while excluding the rest.
set up with launcher, use main game file to play game.
2nd: Go to your desired mod page/link in the Steam Workshop.
3rd: Copy the link and paste it in the website on the first step.
(This archive path in the mod's descriptor file is invalid or does not exist)
Hearts of Iron IV and Stellaris shares pretty much the same thing so inorder to install a mod, you need to:
1 - Create a Mod through the "Create Mod" button in the launcher
2 - Go to your Documents folder look for the Paradox Launcher folder and then seek for Stellaris.
3 - Extract your mod's files from your .rar/.zip file
4 - Copy/Cut EVERY FILES in the extracted mod file folder to the Documents/Paradox Interactive/mods. If it is not there, create a flder named "mod"
I don't know if it would work, but hey atleast I tried telling you how I did it.
Any fix for that?
steam must be change into different db side.
and it's link to be too in the same way.
You have the DLC. You don't OWN the DLC. THERE'S A FUCKING DIFFERENCE.
DLCUnlockall=0
and change it to this
DLCUnlockall=1
then open launcher-settings.json with notepad and change this
"distPlatform": "steam"
to this
"distPlatform": "gog",
that will verify the dlc for you in the launcher.
Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris
and then open the game after all the steps and let it generate a new folder.
Many thanks :)
I've reinstalled the whole thing brand new and it still won't launch.
Anyone got a fix?
Edit: ok so I've figured out that its something with the launcher. When I tear it out and reinstall stellaris its self it works fine until I try to use the launcher to enable mods. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Check reddit or so for the bugs and the likes.
Disclaimer: Not that annoying or totally unplayable but I am just picky about some certain things is all.
I might wait a bit more until some hot-fixes or so are out, might need to redownload the whole thing again anyway or not, who knows. I just find it to be too broken or well annoying in my case with the new sets of bugs or so.
You can just find em' at reddit or other forum sites if yah really want to know.
Gave it a second chance and got to play for a bit, pretty wonky.
I want to try out the new re-worked features (Including Bugs) especially the first contact framework which now just makes so much more sense than before.
Btw, what's different from Codex and GOG version? Checked out the torrent for a bit though for now I might just wait for it here cause I've already waited this long anyway.
It should be soon for the game file/s here to be updated. Can't wait to try it out, been watching youtuber wars and rp mp to pass time.
GOT'EEEEMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tried it again because I really wanted to play the game after a few days or weeks, this time trying the Megaup option which I somehow got to work and I finally got the game running.
Aside from the usually slow downloading speed from torrent, I don't trust it anymore that much compared to the usual download options here. Not sure about the others but that's how it went for me.
Either have patience or look elsewhere.
second time this happened to me... first was megacorp then now nemesis
Edit: Mods were fine too.
Edit: Never mind it just a temporary issue
Edit: Nevermind, it's a GOG version. :/ Who the hell uses GOG?

https://gyazo.com/67613181276f9593961e218e44ba7db7
Only to find out that there's an uptade (2.8.1.2) with another 19 setups more and no instruccions again.
There are two files in the update2.8.1.2, DLC and Update, in Update there's a update for the base game (I think)(which would make sense goes first) and in DLC 18 setups, one for each DLC.
Also, if you thought the game was broken because the shortcut "Stellaris" in your desk post installing correctly launched "dowser.exe" and instanly crashed, freezed your machine, keept weird CPU/memory/GPU heavy apps or second plane apps running or very laggy game, no your game is not broken (hoppefully) go to file location of Stellaris, look for apps, try the one that says "Stellaris", not "Launch Stellaris", or "uninsnumber", worked for me.
Sooo, here are my questions:
Do I install base game, then update basegame, then the next dlc from top to bottom, the the update for that,... or do i install basegame and dlc's, then update basegame, then dlc's in order ?
Are the update setups more, less or same likely to crash than the basegame setups?
What's even in update 2.8.1.2, is it worth it?
Why in the name of ### ####### ## ####### would anyone not give feasible installing instructions, or any instruccions at all?
Doing what i said i did:
" I downloaded the part 1 and 2, extracted on one file, change my file configuration to show by name, installed each setup from top to bottom separatly, checking if each setup was funcioning propely by trying to move the window around and checking task manager, force closing the setup if wasn't responding, deleting all the game files from my pc (C: GOG games/stellaris, delete stellaris), repeat until the process is done wihout crashes and consequent impossibility to: run the setup again, play the game, play normally, listen to the music, etc. (I think this is the intended way)"
checking if each setup was funcioning propely by trying to move the window around and checking task manager.
if it wasn't responding:
force closing the setup , deleting all the game files from my pc (C: GOG games/stellaris, delete stellaris
I think this part makes more sense now, i am not really sure i'm not native english speaker
I did got it to work but wihout the update V2.8.1.2, not really sure in what order to install them,didn't want to risk break the game. pretty sure they are not necesary
Also before there were more links to outdated updates
game has higher System Requirement than it says here
I have 8gb integrated graphics, here says it needs 4gb and 1 vram, so my pc should be ok because 8gb integrated is roughly equal to 6gb 1.5 vram.
But it has slowdowns and as the game progresses andd more shit is happening the worse the performance gets, i would advice having
at least 16 gb 1 vram to get the whole experience
The last time I downloaded is the gog version was this gog version too?
If somebody knows whats happening i would appreciate any help.
can't sustain this game anymore ...
bcoz those mod were work well before
You must find how to adjust mode in edit in file.
Open it with note++, Microsoft word, or something, and edit.
There must be way what searchable in portal sites.
so sad.
edit: sorry not the descriptor file. there's like a different text file that you need outside the folder that has the same name as the folder. if you go to mod tools in the launcher and make a new mod, you'll see the format it needs to be
Is this part of the game??
the reason its like this is because gog has a seperate installer for all dlcs
Edit: It does seem to be, don't know if u need to get the update under the download though.
After looking on forums, checking files, editing and deleting Stellaris and Paradox launcher data files.I found another possible solution to this problem.
One of the simplest possible ways how to fix it....
Stellaris and pdx launcher overwrites mod files which causes bugs.
To prevent this from happening just try to make your "mod" folder read-only.
Do it after placing and editing mods inside it.
The mod folder should be placed in your Stellaris documents folder.
Probably "C:\Users\Username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris"
Mod file path in "modname.mod" file should be "mod/modname" not
"C:/Users/Username/....."
The other ways of fixing it are:
Reinstaling stellaris
Reinstalling pdx launcher
Deleting Stellaris documents folder or mod folder with mod load order file
Also remember to check if your Stellaris instalation folder is not set to "read only" this can prevent mods to load also.
I hope that this post will help you
Search file "launcher-settings.json"
Open up with any editor
Line | "distPlatform": "steam" | Change 'steam' to 'pdx'
Save
Grofit
So, first off you have to delete dlc_signature from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris
That should be the solution.
(Might not work while starting the game from dowser.exe)
If this does not work for you, try different ways to overcome this problem, like copying stuff from .iso / CODEX and dropping that into installer folder (The main one)
always the error when starting the game
ja modei steam for pdx in launcher-settings
since already thank you if someone can help me and sorry for the english
The launcher installer can be found inside the game installation file. If it comes up with an error take the launcher-settings.json file (found just below the launcher installer) and right click on launcher-settings.json, open with notepad, and change the steam to pdx. After that Copy-paste it into the installation folder for the launcher (mine is nestled away in %appdata% somewhere), you can use the launcher installation to uninstall and reinstall the launcher to find out where it goes.
Edit: I found the solution, right click on launcher-settings.json, open with notepad, and change the steam to pdx
My stellaris.exe directly starts the game doesnt start the launcher. Theres a launcher installer thingy i guess thats the games launcher installer but it doesnt install because stellaris is already installed etc.
cant use mods because of this ANY HELP?

Crashing and so on.
1.You must select the two zips at once and then right click in them and click extract
2. Once extracted you can get many things.
-If you get a .ISO file, use PowerISO or a similar software to mount the file on a digital drive.

Remember to add the content of the CODEX file (found inside the .iso) into where you installed the game from the codex installer. Replace any files with the new ones. Should work fine from there :)
The launcher installer can be found inside the game installation file. If it comes up with an error take the launcher-settings.json file (found just below the launcher installer) and copy-paste it into the installation folder for the launcher (mine is nestled away in %appdata% somewhere), you can use the launcher installation to uninstall and reinstall the launcher to find out where it goes.
federations DLC is missing
if there is a dowser and launcher, this has to work
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcPulW98AkI
select the mods, select the dlc's, leave the launcher like that, and start the game with the stellaris.exe
and after that easy to find when you want to change something, otherwise just numbers, you'll see
Did you get the file directly, or have you used an exe?
If the answer to any of the questions is yes, you downloaded an ad.
Please try downloading the files again and make sure you get the correct ones.
P.s. I am running version 1.7.1 and don't want to update considering this is the update with the energy credits glitch on it
(edit never mind i created new mod folder and it fix it)
I would like to know how to install mods manually in this new version of stellaris
I installed it, I modified the launcher-settings.json file and I had to copy it in the launcher directory to be able to get the launcher to lanch in the first place. It got updated fine also.
But I can't launch the game from the launcher I have an error sayin : "Game executable is invalid"
Does somebody knows the solution ?
Thanks =)
this solution mentioned here long time ago and still working
"distPlatform": "gog"
(if needed, find dlc link of gog, replace steam dlc link)
(1. that folder maybe secret folder. reveal it with windows pannell setting and fix
when you insert the iso files you see the CODEX files inside it
that enable you to play dlc just copy the files inside the CODEX Folder to the game you installed. Then enjoy stellaris with its DLC
also the link has been updated into version 2.7.1
isn't gog better?
:(
it appeared after I installed the 2.7.1 the 2.6.2 version work fine
but launcher not start
what should i do?
"distPlatform": "pdx",
becareful to not erase any characters
so i want another help if it's possible
If that doesnt work well i dunno what to do
despite it's by launcher copy file of other ver,
and have another problem
- I can't wait to try it as soon as possible!
https://igg-games.com/if-237919870-any-problem-please-call-me.html
There are multiple .exe gog installers, its normal. You gotta run the main installer to install the base game and THEN run the dlc installers to install the DLCs (lots of them).
With a quick google search, I've concluded that Federations was released with patch 2.6 therefore this includes it.
If it doesnt exist, create it (name==mod, case sensitive!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcPulW98AkI&feature=youtu.be
[1]Go to your desktop,[2] Right click on stellaris and select properties,[3] Go to the compatability tab,[4] Select [ ] Disable fullscreen optimizations, and make sure it is highlighted with a checkmark.
You should now be able to run mods and launch the game from the stellaris launcher.
"distlauncher": "steam", to "pdx": "steam",
and save :3
Pretty much just change the word distlauncher to pdx and my launcher worked fine with me being able to enable and disable DLC's and mods I got from skymods. I don't really know what editing that word does but hey if it works, it works.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your problem however is that the Launcher doesn't show up whenever you click the Stellaris exe file then the answer is simple, It won't. It's because the file you are clicking is actually the direct file that opens up the game, not the launcher. In order to open up the launcher there's another exe file in the Stellaris Folder called Dowser.exe, it's the file that opens up the launcher.
I do suggest doing the thing I said above before opening up the dowser.exe file just to be sure cuz someone suggested it, that it won't work if you don't do it, but hey you're free to experiment, maybe it works without changing distlauncher to pdx.
Do you know if it's possible ( and how ) to play the very first version of stellaris ( i prefer the old " tuile " system )
I want to install the dlcs but when i try to launch the setup of a dlc it starts, asks for what language do i want to use and then nothing happens. The setup is running in the task manager but doesnt install the files.

Download the mods of your choice from the workshop
Unzip the mods anywhere you'd like for now
After, open your launcher-settings.json in your main installation folder with notepad and change the "distPlatform" to "pdx" and save.
Next, launch dowser.exe and go to the mods tab -> click mod tools -> create mod -> For the name put in ModPack -> Version put 1 -> and in directory it should say mod/ModPack. You may click all the tags or just click one, it doesn't matter. Then, press create mod.
From here, go to Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod folder and you should see your new .mod file and your mod pack folder.
Open your ModPack folder and get ready to transfer the data from your installed mods into that folder. To do so, follow this youtube video: https://youtu.be/ju34KHuUxm0?t=222 Do this for every one of your mods, not just one. This effectively combines all your mods into one mega mod. NOTE: Do not copy over the descriptor.txt from the mods into your modpack. Not sure if that would do anything but to be safe, just don't do it.
In order to mod a cracked version of the game, you first need to make your own mod via the launcher. In order to do this, follow these steps:
Once that is done, you need to go to the mods folder, which should be located in:
Your Documents > Paradox Interactive > Stellaris > mod
It should exist, as you have created a mod.
Once you are there, what you need to do next is to grab every single mod that you downloaded and wish to install, and drop the mod's files within the mod you have created.
Make sure the mod's files are named "common", "events", "flags", etc. and not the zip/rar file you downloaded, or the mod file that is contained in them.
If it asks you to overwrite a file, make sure that the file you are pasting in that attempts to overwrite a file is a patch or relatively unneeded.
You need to be careful with this, as bad overwrites can break the entire modpack, so don't install too many mods of the same type.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, OVERWRITE THE DESCRIPTOR FILE.
Once that is done, open the launcher again, scroll down to mods, enable your mod by clicking on the button to the right of it, and launch the game.
If all is well, your mod should work and will apply all the mods that you installed at once.
Furthermore you can use a workshop downloader site to get the mods from steam, however some mods might already be updated to 2.6.1 and cause a ctd (UI Overhaul Dynamic for example) In that case you can also go to skymods, which does not have all the mods I believe, but it does keep older revisions of mods so by downloading a version that was released on the 17th (which is when 2.6.0 dropped) you can still use these mods.
Update: Good news, My mods has been resolved. Thanks for my GOG games that I figured out to use it.
I want to put it in Portuguese
Ajuda foi de Sakamaki Izayoi e jaguarrier
So I had the same problem untill I realised I forgot to apply crack.
Now help yourself, and if it doesn't work, uninstall reinstall, re-apply crack, and if it still doesn't work, redownload.
You're fucking welcome
Also running the game as admin with high priority.
This me PI's launcher is kinda wanky. I own this game on steam and it's giving me problems even there. The thing is that mods need to be activated somehow now. In pre-launcher releases you only needed to have them in your mods folder and the game would delete them if they failed your steam account check (that's why making them read-only was a must).
This is a gog release. I have no experience with it. Try searching through gog forums about making steam mods work with their release.
i can not change to Brazilian-portuguese, i don't know how to change that, and there is no way you can do it i think..
but i still wait admin from igg-games to put in GDrive
Next, open "dowser.exe" in the game folder, if it doesn't open run "launcher-installer-windows.msi" in the game folder and install the paradox launcher.
"dowser.exe" will open the paradox launcher. Skip through the login/registration process, navigate to the Stellaris page.
Scroll down and you will be able to enable and disable mods and DLC. Then go back into your Stellaris folder and launch stellaris.exe (hitting Play in the launcher doesn't work) searched the comments and found this
So after renaming the dist platform to pdx instead of steam. Open dowser and enable all DLC. Then open stellaris.exe in the folder and it should launch correctly.
Nevermind I just had to add it to the windows defender "ignore" list
If not, it wold be nice to have a choice also download Linux Edition.
No magic, it's working here.
It won't work.
You have to start a new game.
And to think, it use to be so damn easy to mod the game.
I don't know what u guys doing.
launcher need just for enable dlc's and mods and that's it, it won't work if you start with launcher
maybe just the exe has access to the internet, which is bad
No magic, don't bother with the red "!" on the dlc's in the launcher.
https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Console_commands
when u find how to open console(each keyboard layout different key need), just type help, you'll see what need to type in to change the language
If it doesn't work this time, try unsubscribe to a few channels you don't use much. There's a limit to how many channels you can be subscribed to at one time, 100 I think.
The launcher is the mod manager, nothing else need...
Follow that, and after just read Jason Ham's comment from 3 months before which is:
"
Has anyone figured out how to get the launcher to work?
EDIT: Figured out a workaround to use mods.
Go
into the game folder and open "launcher-settings.json" with any
text-editor and change the line "distPlatform": "steam" to
"distPlatform": "pdx".
Next, open "dowser.exe" in the game folder,
if it doesn't open run "launcher-installer-windows.msi" in the game
folder and install the paradox launcher.
"dowser.exe" will open the paradox launcher. Skip through the login/registration process, navigate to the Stellaris page.
Scroll
down and you will be able to enable and disable mods and DLC. Then go
back into your Stellaris folder and launch stellaris.exe (hitting Play
in the launcher doesn't work)
The mods and DLC you have enabled should now load with the game."
So, no need the launcher, just to enable the dlc's or mods.
All dlc is here, my mods working. dat

Go to where your stellaris.exe is and open laucher-settings.json and edit "distPlatform": "steam" , to "distplatform": "pdx" ,
Thanks to General Bacon and Wonderer for finding it out
I download them manually from a site that rips from steam workshop, but the old method stopped working... Can anyone help me?
The mod will have a "descriptor.mod" file in IT's folder and a .mod (test.mod in this case) file outside of the mod in the "mod" folder itself with the same name as it's folder. You can use notepad or preferably a more advanced text editor like notepad++ or something like Visual Studio Code by MS, both are free, though notepad++ in my experience lags with really long files (won't be a issue here, but still).
After opening "launcher-settings.json" and changing the line "distPlatform": "steam" to "distPlatform": "pdx", the Paradox launcher can be opened through "dowser.exe". After skipping through logins, etc, the DLCs are all listed under "Downloadable Content", however, there is a little red indicator saying that "We were unable to verify ownership of this DLC".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcPulW98AkI&list=PLWFKnf1pcvUsjLPLLafZW3TQ8sgTZbm_w&index=6&t=0s

This is NOT the main install folder, its a seperate folder in your Documents. If there isn't any folder called "mod" then create one.
Afterwards, follow my method I posted below to enable them.

But really, thanks i won´t buy that game for so much money and i lost hope i could play with my favourite mods

Edit: Works like a charm. Good work!
anyone?
copying over the DLC and CreamAPI into the game folder does let you play with DLC using the steam version, but not sure about other versions.

Thanks!
Well not all, for example this 2.3.3 update is not on the torrentsite.
I love it when these "genius" hackers can't even test their own installer...
EDIT: here's what you need to do to get this working:
You need copy files from ISO, and update will run.
Genius
edit: i think the updates installers fixed lol
I had to copy steam_api64.dll from 2.3.2 again...
With codex, you can install every update, and no need just the last update crack.
How do i get Ancient Relics? and other DLCS?
then you aplly crack when installing and ou are done
So it is impossible install the updates on 2.2.4
You need install this 2.3.0 game first,then the updates.
d3dx9_41.dll
XINPUT1_3.dll
i try reinstall but its not working
I'm trying to add a couple of the elegant galaxy mods but i don't know how.
Thanks in advance
First:
You downloaded the game and met with an error midway. To fully delete the game from your pc delete the folder from computer and the one from Documents (paradox interactive).
Second:
Start reinstaling with daemontools the image. After the instalation is succesfull copy the crack manualy into the game folder.
Patching:
After you downloaded the game you start patching here comes the first problem we went into.
To begein paching you take the rar and clic setup and tell where is the folder with the game, it will start patching. When pathcing is complete copy the crack from the pach rar into folder and go to patch 2.3.2 and do the same. Now we arrive at 3.2.3 here you just start the setup and let it run after you tell the instalation progress where is the game folder. after patch 3.2.3 is done you may start the game.
It worked for me like that hope i could help for anyone that had problems with the installation progres. (sorry for bad gramm if i had some)
Can you please confirm that the files aren't corrupt?? thx in advance

wtf
If you have base game bought and only cracked dlcs you need cream.api
If you cracked whole game you need steam.api
In any way its not possible to play over steam with other "normal users" (who bought the base game) if you didnt buy base game..
Hope this helped
I've had Stellaris from this site since 1.2 or 1.3 IIRC, and never had problems with it until this new 2.3 version... Mine didn't delete the DLCs or the mods, but it grayed out the DLC tab in the launcher until I reinstalled... I also noticed Ironman Mode doesn't run in this version... Do tell me if you find an easier fix for it :P
Put the .mod file in:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod
Put the mod folder in:
C:\Users\Username*\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\workshop\content\281990
Also, be sure to enable to mod in the Launcher when you start the game.
when i launch the game, it deletes the .mod file
somebody else had this issue too

Don't ask for re-uploads either. IGG only re-uploads when every last link goes down. Speed differences are not a valid excuse for a re-upload; if you're experiencing slow download speeds, then get a download manager.
Any comments asking for an update or a re-upload will be deleted.
Thanks for sending anyway though :)
I get Data error : Stellaris_ancient_Relics-HOODLUM\hlm-stel.iso
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, cant seem to figure it out.
edit: pb solved, Smart Steam Emu is working fine with 2.3.
It's pretty simple, there's a step by step tutorial on the link above, don't forget to actually enable the mod from the game launcher.

If you are looking for were to get the mods, I normally get mine from Skymods.
https://discord.gg/wFuevRx
mods which I have installed, aren't detected by the launcher.
Can someone help to resolve the problem ?
Some people told me to create a folder name "mods" and to put the mods here but it didn't work...
Thanx in advance.
here is a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju34KHuUxm0&ab_channel=IntrepidDawn
Have a nice day ;)
I did everything as told, updated, craked, and so on. But if I press start in the launcher the game starts, but the screen keeps being black and the game crashes. Anyone a solution?
If that doesn't work, check if you have installed all software that is listed here: http://igg-games.com/black-screen-cant-start-games.html
this has happened twice
When I re-installed, I only have 2.2.0
What am I doing wrong?
I dont know if someone have/had this problem but actually, when i launch Stellaris, I can see it in the process launching but after few seconds it disappears and nothing more happen... any ideas? I just made a full reinit of my comp so i dont really understand why...
The new checksum is 8b3a.
Rant:
Why is it that with almost every single Paradox-game, people forget to crack the game, and consequently go and complain about the DLCs far more so than with other games? Most games here don't even work at all without cracking them, so I don't understand why these are so different.
can you explain how to do it?
If you have already installed the game, you can also just copy the content of the CODEX file manually to the game's files.
Hope this helps! :)
If not, please fix it !
If not, what is the problem here? The civics and authorities in the screenshot are all there, and you can select them.
Among other information, they provide the game with the (relative) path of the mod folder. This is given with the "path=" variable.
This was changed from "archive=" a few updates ago. However, the .mod files were not automatically updated with that change, so they still have the "archive=" variable instead of "path="
TL;DR: Go to %USERPROFILE%\documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod, edit ALL .mod files and replace "archive=" with "path=".
EDIT: Read down a bit further -- press the ~ key and type the "ThreadCount" thing; works just fine!
Honestly, I don't blame them. 2.0's changes were way too major. You can't just develop a game for, what, 2 years, and then suddenly flip its development direction like that. 1.9 Stellaris and 2.0 Stellaris are practically 2 different games, and a lot of people are complaining that they didn't pay to have the game they enjoyed be turned into a totally different game. Now, the people who actually liked 2.0 and 2.1's major changes appear to hate 2.2 because, ironically, "it completely changes the game". This quote is more less in quite a few of the newest reviews. The Stellaris development team has a weird habit of changing the game too much, and it's not doing them any favors
MegaCorp is... different. I know that I have to get used to it but even after several hours of gameplay it feels... overwhelming a bit. Old planet tiles were simply and good. The new ones will be hard to understand to me for a bit of time. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it, fortunately there are many tutorial videos on YT.
So for any complaing players I can tell you: get used to it or just don't play. It's just a game, right?
I agree with this. Let me reaffirm that all the complaints I listed off aren't even my own. I stopped playing the game when 2.0 dropped, so I have no real reason to complain, it's just that I kept following
the game's development to see if it got any better (in my opinion) but over the course of months spent following its development direction, I
haven't really found much reason to get back into it, at least going off of the negative reviews I read describing some glaring problems. Still, I get that these changes are what some people have wanted from the beginning so I can respect that there are those that like them. It's just that I still think they should have kept 1.9 and 2.0 separate as games, though, in hindsight, I'm not sure how they would even accomplish that, to be honest. In any case, enjoy the game.
Anyway it's nice to see somebody who can say "I don't enjoy this game so I won't play it anymore but I respect all the people willing to play it anyway" instead "I'm not playing this game anymore so any of players who keep playing it are a dumbassshitomfgloosers" :D And thank you, will see how the new updates will affect the rate of replayability of Stellaris :)
Edit:it was already mentioned but anyway
Stellaris.MegaCorp -> CODEX -> 3 files and move them to Stellaris MegaCorp (the one that you installed)
Now no clue when the hotfix will be in this release.
Some DLC is indeed missing.
Luckily, copying the missing DLCs from an older version (2.1.2) appears to solve this.
I have made an archive with the missing DLC. Just drop it in the game's folder.

(i tried few mods with "2.1.* compatibility", most of 'em works)
But at the NSC2 Mod (New Ship Classes) and Real Solarsystem it seems all ok but the Mods dont load into Game

Thank you for your service.
It works perfectly. This game is amazing.
Distant Stars Story Pack, Horizon Signal and the anniversary portraits
I'll buy the game, it's worth it after taking a demo from a pirated version.
2.2 is the next major update and it's not finished.
cause i installed it and i have the game but 0 dlcs
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War

EDIT: oops, i thought you had the same issue as me. In my case even the starting console didn't see the mods, but your problem seems to lie elsewhere.
anyone know how to fix this?
I found the pops_api online, but don't know where to put it, and I didn't find the second file anyway...
Any Help ?
I usually put all my pirated game installs in a "Free Games" folder. I accidentally installed this Stellaris game files directly in this folder (copy pasted the wrong directory level). In my foolish attempt to retry the installation into the tidier directory arrangement, I used the UNinstaller BUT it WIPED OUT everything in that "Free Games" folder.
Either opt-out of the Uninstaller option during the installation or just use the default install directory. Don't repeat my mistake.
Ps. I play only with my brother on the same network. Is there a way to use LAN instead (as the game description suggests)?
LAN should work perfectly fine without it.
Just another question : where can I find a french patch ?
Any idea why ?
Thanks
Alternatively, does this 2.1 release have them included already and is thus the definitive edition, containing all patches/dlc?
Is it possible to request a single player only download of this game? Never encountered this before even with games that have online features like XCOM for example
did 2.4 include a crack folder for you? Im assuming the crack folder is made up of dll and ini files usually and in this case they just didnt pack them into a crack folder. But could be wrong
worked for me
I don't even have steam installed yet it works fine (and it also worked fine on older releases)
just use the crack in CODEX folder that came with the 2.0.2 update after you've installed both 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 updates.... or just download the new "distant stars" story pack release
Relax when you have to relax.
Do what you are supposed to do >:V
Thanks
then the dlc should work
See? I too can use caps on random words.
Learn to read, mate.
Thx for Provide this fantastic game
I get this error
Your antivirus has probably messed with the cracked files, or you haven't cracked it.
I thought this is with all the dlcs????????????????

It has all mods from the steam workshop and allows you to request any mod that isn't already there
They exist for a reason, they're not there as a decoration
first of all, thanks to id "No one"
step1: copy steam_api.dll from other version of stellaris. I mean... that.. working dll file.
step2: open steam_emu file with text viewer
step3: scroll to the bottom, 'll see some lines, related to dlc
copy and change like this:

wow thanks a lot!! :) well I really need to change mine..
If the Error still occurs try deleting the Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris folder. If you still have the Error, make sure that you start the stellaris.exe as admin. That should solve it, at least thats what worked for me. If it doesent work for you i cant really help you :/
(also if you have any mods enabled, wich you shouldnt if you emptied the \mod folder, disable them all.

I would really appreciate it :3
EDIT: Found. They are stored in the ISO which is very misleading/hidden. Once you have installed go into my computer and look at your drives. You should see the Stellaris mounted image. Looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/p1tjb - double click it. Cracks are located in there.
These did not appear the first time I mounted the image because it autoruns the install so many, including myself, assume that's all the ISO contains.
what site you use to download
Very counter-intuitive and not too user friendly.
I dont remember having all type of error you people having this past month,what i did is i just install i dont add the crack file before updating after i update the game i add the crack file in the the update provide instead from the installation location crack.
No error no nothing just smooth run and if you want download this game make sure your computer had 4GB ram with 64bit system more ram the better and dual core of 2.97 intel with 2GB video ram.
If you spec not as what i mention dont download the game.
