Sounds like you're not on the latest version of Stellaris - 3.14.... - if you're seeing this error:

[22:18:38][game_rules.cpp:1052]: unexpected game rule can_capture_ship. file: common/game_rules/00_rules.txt line: 3693

There might also be some jank with one of your prescripted designs:

[22:18:32][empire_design.cpp:488]: invalid planet class pc_pd_sandstone. file: user_empire_designs_v3.4.txt line: 77.

My game at least seems to think that it's on version 3.14.1, and clearing my user empire designs didn't do anything other than remove that specific error, so idk

For some reason reinstalling for a second time seems to have fixed it

Good stuff!

I'm also crashing upon clicking "New Game" with only the NC mod active in the playlist. My error log is below:

Can you try removing your custom empires?

Just got the new update and my game is now crashing every few turns, even in new game.
Im now running the Stellaris 4.0 Phoenix version of the game

im crashing to im on 4.0

I can't get into main menu on my fresh installed GoG-version with this mod only.
It stuck on 100% loading.

I deleted all my custom races, and the crashing stopped upon clicking "New Game".

I started playing as the Romulans and got very briefly into the game until the first popup fro mQ appears, and then the game crashed again. Log below:

New today, I'm now getting the crash when I click New Game as well

The New Game crash was hopefully fixed in the patch I just put out; something changed in 4.0.5 to cause it.

Thx walshicus, seems fixed. no crash in Menu.
