Stellaris won't launch Obuntu 18.04.1

[Luciano7239 (F2P)]

Hi, i'm using Obuntu 18.04.1 on my computer, and i have a problem. The problem is when i try to start Stellaris in Steam, appear "Running", "Syncing" and then stops, i try deleting and reinstalling the game, verifying the game files, restarting my computer, restarting steam, nothing worked, please help

Pd: I installed the game various months ago and i never had a problem

Have you checked the steam log file?

~/.steam/error.log

I don't see the log file in .steam

It is very strange, could you try to run this command into a terminal window?

(show last 100 lines from that file)

tail -n 100 ~/.steam/error.log

otherwise, could you try to start game from terminal window?

if you haven't changed steam library folder is located in your home

~/.steam/steamapps/common/Stellaris/stellaris

you eventually check installation path from steam library:
- right click on stellaris from library list
- properties
- local files
- browse local files

1.- I put the command and didn't find anything, looks like that the file doesn't exit

2.- When i try to start the game from the terminal i get this error

 error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

From the version 2.3 stellaris is a 64bit application, your OS installations seems a 32bit system,
could you paste the output of the following command?

uname -a

Here you go

I'm no linux-guru, but it seems the system is looking for the shared libs in the 32-bit location.
You could try to add this to the launch options for Stellaris:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32:/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

It didn't work for me

[Draeloth]

Maybe your system is missing some libraries, and/or a specific architecture of one of these, maybe you have only 32bit version of libatomic instead both 32/64 bit

could you paste the output of the following commands?

dpkg -l | grep atomic

the output should be something like that:

dpkg -l | grep atomic

ldd ~/.steam/steamapps/common/Stellaris/stellaris

im suffering the same issue, but at windows 10.

I had the same error on my 64bit Linux system and installed libatomic1 via my distribution repository. But now I get this error when starting the game via the terminal:

./stellaris: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./stellaris)

So something seems to be wrong in Stellaris with the linking of files and libraries. Shouldn't the Steam runtime have all required libraries? (A 64bit version of libstdc++.so.6 is of course also installed on my system independently from the Steam lruntime). I couldn't figure out what "GLIBCXX" is meant to be.

(The launche option mentioned above tht tries to fix where Stellaris looks for shared libraries isn't working for me. Stellaris 2.2.7 works fine.)

if you installed all the libatomic / gcc_libs [arch / gentoo ] libraries , make sure to launch from steam (native) and not steam (runtime) as runtime has its own lib directories to make it portable and no longer syncs with system wide
