Help me solve the problem

[EHOT]

I'll try to explain what the problem is. I launched stellaris and I have a Black something. that is, I can manage everything, everything works as it should. BUT the galaxy itself is black, nothing is visible, How to solve this?

I'd guess there's some kind of corruption with your map files. They can be found in your program files folder under "[your path]/steamapps/common/Stellaris/map/" - there's a folder defining "setup scenarios" and another one for galaxy shapes.

The canonical solve would be to use Steam to "verify integrity" of the files and/or do a clean reinstall. That's more likely to catch whatever's wrong. Though in general, it sounds like you've got some kind of corruption in your files.

Everything is fine with the data. But I noticed that now my main screen is black. and so is everything in the game itself when you start

You're not the first to report that problem in the forum. If anyone had a solution, I missed it. I think there were some players who opted to roll back until they found an version that woulld load properly. 3.12.x I think. You could try that and see if it's some problem with the latest updates.

If that ends up working, you might want to submit a formal bug report on Paradox's website and keep an eye on the dev diaries for signs they've fixed it in a patch. They've claimed, however, that the latest hot fix was the last one of the year, so you might be waiting until after the holiday season has passed.
