Report a translation problem
Go to your Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\logs folder and open up game.log
Scroll to the bottom. You should see whatever event caused the crash. (Actually, the whole log may just be a spam of identical entries except for the attempt number.) If you have the same problem I did, it's going to be referencing a file called species_01_SC.txt - but I'm willing to bet that any _SC file could be at fault.
Replacing that file with a renamed copy of species_01.txt cleared the problem for me. It appears that whomever compiled the Simplified Chinese translation file dropped entries, so sometimes the game goes hunting for a name or definition that doesn't exist, and since it has all the exception handling capability of a two-year-old, it just crashes to desktop.
Of course, if you need the simplified Chinese language translations, well, that's a problem.
It may not be the same problem, but it's worth a look. At the very least, the game.log file should be able to tell you what's going wrong. :)
[23:22:53][species.cpp:287]: Error: Failed Reading Species Class Names!
Reason: Invalid Species Class!
common/species_names/species_01_SC.txt(239)
Do you just simply remove _SC from species then file save the Notepad?
The _SC version seems to be missing several lookups that are present in the base file. By duplicating the species_01 file and using it as a replacement for the _SC, the game can find the lookups in the file. Obviously, it breaks the Chinese translations, but that's only a problem if you're playing in Chinese.
But really, make sure you check for outdated mods first.
Does the crash happen at the same point each time? Such as when a project or timed event is supposed to finish? Or is it just random?
Your solution is a problem but it may solve the issue I have. firstly species_01.txt already exists just above the other you mentioned which is species_01_SC.txt. So both those files already exist.
Secondly So what you are suggesting make a copy of the species_01.txt and rename the copy as species_01_SC.txt while moving the original file to another folder/directory.
If it resolves the issue I have, do you mind if I mention you and this solution in the PDX bug report forum in an update to my bug report. I only feel it is right to give credit where credit is due.
Edit: Sorry doesn't fix issue.
I start the game and the first line in error.log says:
"[17:49:21][pdx_net.cpp:282]: getaddrinfo Failed: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found."
the last line of that file:
"[18:39:19][trigger_impl.cpp:799]: type=planet
id=2907
random={ 0 1624410577 }"
the whole file has line saying script error.
Oh.
