As of the last couple of days when God Mode is active and any of my fleets or stations are attacked a crash to desktop (CTD) is experienced in version 4.1.7 (checksum 6486).

  • No mods are activated or installed
  • Stellaris files have been validated
  • Clean re-install of Stellaris has been done
  • Plitch is running as admin
  • Steam is running as admin
  • Stellaris is running as admin


This crash does not occur immediately when god mode is activated. The crash only appears to be triggered when a ship or space station would take damage and god mode is also active (i.e. during peace where no conflict is ongoing God Mode can be active without CTD, but once a war is declared and any damage would be inflicted a CTD occurs.


The crash does not seem to occur with other features (such as instant ship construction). The game does not crash if damage is taken by ships and god mode is disabled; only when god mode is enabled and ships take damage with it enabled.

Let me know if there's any other information that might be useful or anything else that I should try.


I've tested with two different species architypes in case there was something odd going on there and had the same results.
