And you can design your Ruler without using Under One Rule as an origin :)
Or.. you're being bombarded by a cloaked fleet, maybe? if.. that's even possible..
Are you running mods?

Tuesday is Steam Maintenance day, its likely whatever regional server you're connected to is rebooting/upgrading/under some sort of maintenance. If you wait a few minutes, reboot Steam, it will likely complete the update cycle then.If you're referring to the launcher cycling into auto-update: Go to start, Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Paradox Launcher V2. Then attempt to restart the game, the launcher will download and reinstall first, and that will likely resolve the launcher issue! Read more
Originally posted by karlmcgavin: Having an issue with how my mouse interacts with the game. The mouse and where the game responds are about a inch off. It just started happening after the newest update. And I don't have this issue out of game. It even works on the main title screen. However I also have the issue on the race selection screen. Any suggestions?Yes, from the OP:
Unable to click the UI/buttons offset
This appears to be an issue related to the game resolution setting and Direct X 11. People have been reporting that pressing alt+tab or alt+enter on the game will resolve the issue temporarily.For a more permanent fix: In the launcher, go to Game Settings, and ensure that your resolution is set correctly, and choose borderless fullscreen or windowed mode.

You're on 3.7.2? Then you haven't been getting updates for awhile, the latest version of 3.7 was 3.7.4.Right click Stellaris, Properties, Betas tab and make sure it says "None" in the dropdown.
[trailer]Galactic Paragons is available now! You can check out the full list of patch notes from Galactic Paragons and 3.8 “Gemini” here[forum.paradoxplaza.com]. (Patch notes are in English only.)
The galactic council is vast and full of personality! Galactic Paragons expands the Council mechanic, allows leaders you command to amplify your empire's vision, adds additional civics, and much more. An empire is only as strong as its weakest link, so invest and strengthen your leaders to guide the future in ways the galaxy has never seen before.
“There are endless stories to tell in the Stellaris universe. Breathing life into the stories of the leaders in the Galactic Council and your empires is a perfect showcase of the team’s commitment to expanding the ways our players can explore a vast and wondrous galaxy.”
-Stephen Muray, Game Director for Stellaris.
Features of Galactic Paragons include*:

The devs are aware of the desync issues in the coop beta, and are hard at work resolving the issues. :) Thanks for trying out the beta, just the same!
Hello everyone! I’m XM, the lead designer of Galactic Paragons. From the beginning of development, we’ve followed one simple mantra - make leaders matter. What you are going to read about in the following paragraphs are the results of months of work following that direction.
Wishlist Galactic Paragons[pdxint.at]!
For leaders to start being significant, there needed to be a lot less of them. With this goal in mind, we removed the research scientist positions currently in the game, and combined them into a single “Head of Research” Council position (we’ll talk in more detail about the Council later). We also allowed leaders to perform Council duties while maintaining their field positions. These changes dramatically reduced the number of leaders you need to keep track of.
The lower leader count also enabled us to make them a lot more powerful.

Originally posted by Arcadian Del Sol: The game runs smooth as ice once it loads, but that initial progress bar takes nearly 10 minutes. What's going on?Does it take this long without mods? My setup takes ~40 seconds to load and I don't have a great computer. I suggest nuking your old save files and oos folder, since these grow rather large sometimes. You can also manually delete your /steamapps/stellaris folder and then re-download, since something doesn't seem right here.If none of this stuff fixes it, go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket, customer support should be able to help you with this.

This is a known issue on the open beta branch, monthly market trades are not added/taken away from the empire stockpile.
In a war for independence you do not gain claims, you only gain your independence.

Management:
The management of the game, when you have some more planets (i have 122 in the moment) is pure nightmare! The "Sector Focus" seems to be totally useless.
So my idea:
Sectors and Planets
In the section "Planets and sectors" you should add a possibility to manage the planets.
First each sector with an icon to show planets in the sector.
Then a possibility to "auto" build/upgrade on planets.

It has been my experience that when you experience a modded crash, you very rarely get the error message that caused the crash. (because, the game is crashing and can't log errors at this point).Your best bet is to go through your modlist, disable any out of date mods, and see if that resolves the issue. If not, you can disable them in batches to see what group of mods is causing the problem, then disable them one by one until you find the culprit.
Your best bet is to go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket. Customer Support will be able to help you with this!

Hello Stellaris Community!
The Devs are currently working on a small update planned for next week, containing fixes for some of the more pressing issues that you’ve found so far. So no Dev Diary this week, but please keep providing feedback and bug reports, they’re very valuable to us!
Instead we have something special for this week: To celebrate the release of the First Contact Story Pack, our Art Department has teamed up with ArtStation to do an Art Blast [pdxint.at]featuring completed and concept art from First Contact!
“We looked to the stars and saw that we were not alone.”
First contact. It has been the inspiration for so many stories in so many IPs over the years and now it has come to Stellaris.
That exciting, sometimes frightening point in your civilization's timeline when the signals and messages you’ve sent out into the darkness of space have been answered. Or perhaps you have been living a peaceful life, minding your own business, believing that you are the only ones out there w... Read more
First Contact is available now![pdxint.at]
You are not alone! The galaxy is vast and full of wonders, but it’s also full of alien empires you’re going to encounter, whether you’re ready or not. First Contact offers a set of new origins and mechanics that give players the chance to tell stories about their civilizations’ early encounters with visitors from the stars — ones that may not have come in peace!
Features of First Contact include*:
NEW ORIGINS
Broken Shackles: You didn’t take to the stars; you were taken to the stars as an alien captive! Now, you and your fellow prisoners have overtaken the ship and found yourselves banding together to survive and thrive as a diverse new community. Can you rise to greatness from this humble origin… and will your former captors take notice?
Payback: No one would have believed your world was being watched keenly by intelligences greater than your own — until they invaded. But you did not go quietly into the night! Your civilization has repelled a woul... Read more
Hello Stellaris Community!
We’re now less than a week away from the release of the First Contact Story Pack! You can preorder it here[pdxint.at]. For those of you who don’t want to read this summary, we have Community Manager Mordred Viking on the Stellaris YouTube reading, so you don’t have to!
[free features video]
Today, we’re here to “dig into” what the Custodians have been up to while the Expansion team has been working on First Contact. As many of you know, the Custodian team works on fixing bugs, improving the UI, increasing performance, adding new modding support, working on the AI and adding new content to previously released DLC.
While there are additions to multiple DLC in Canis Minor, one of the biggest new features is included in the Ancient Relics Story Pack: archaeotechnologies. Archaeotechs are ancient technologies, repurposed to fit and amplify your current technologies and are generally found by excavating dig sites, or completing your precursor event chain and doing the...

Word of advice from someone who moderates on non-Steam forums and such, don't let the power you've been given, go to your head. And also, don't overload yourself. Sometimes being proactive can be stressful, so locate a balance. Because Volunteer Moderating is stressful.
Thanks for the advice! I've been a community manager for two large TTRPG companies over the last 4 years, so while Steam is a new venue for me, I do recognize the importance of a work/life balance.
My advice: Just go full-on Palpatine :D Read more
