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.

Crashing during loading

Updating your video card drivers has been shown to resolve this issue.

If none of these things resolve your issue

My problem is that I can't even start the game man... It just keeps "Updating"..then it downloads, then it goes right back to Update.

Can't open the launcher because it just keeps auto-cycling into Update.

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?

Do you mean Steam keeps cycling into update? 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!

Yeh the Steam Launcher won't open because it just keeps going to Update...

SO I keep hitting update and it keeps downloading then gives me an error that blinks so fast I can't see it... little red letters at the download site.(IT keeps saying No Internet Connection in little Red Letters... But I wouldn't be here posting if there was no internet connection.)

So it goes through the motions of downloading the DLC/Update and then just quits... Then Ques to Update in 3 minutes and keeps doing that.....

This has been going on for hours it has nothing to do with Steam itself updating that I know about.

Hello
Such a problem, I bought the DLC, I have it in the steam, in my launcher, but in the game itself it is not visible and the game is asking to buy it. What should I do?

[Elitewrecker PT]

Restarted steam?
Does the game show you're in verison 3.8.?

[Ilyas | Z]

Yes, did that twice. Reinstalled all DLCs, rebooted PC. Disabled all mods, disabled any beta versions. The game says that the version 3.8.1, still nothing

[AlienWired]

So, Yeh, I've gone to different regions, downloaded updates for other games...

Get to updating Stellaris and it says "No Internet Connection"....

I have the firewall turned off, and just updated This Land is my Land without an issue.

I've cleared the Steam Cache 4 times now... am not doing it again.....

My issue is that since the update, all menu and species images just won't show up. The menu background is just a blank grey, and species portraits are just empty boxes. I've uninstalled all my mods and tried both validating files and reinstalling the game, but it's still happening, and I'm at a complete loss on what to do about it.

What does the store page say?

In library. If I add to the cart it says that I can only send gift to a friend

I had that same problem with my paradox launcher. It affects all the games I have. They don't have a fix for it.

I'm just reinstalling the entire game... That it has fully downloaded almost leaves me with some hope.

[AlienWired]

After full install it says I am on Libra 3.3.4.......

That's not right, is it...... ?
