   Any chance of a cracked steam version?

     Why would you prefer it over GOG? It’s better DRM free I think.

       I might be wrong, but this was the case the last time i checked.

       GOG Stellaris has no connetion to the steam workshop, so if you want mods (they main place people upload them is steamworkshop, not paradoxplaza) you have to go through the whole rigmaroll of downloading everything from sky-mods and getting a million redirect ads , then when a new version of stellaris turns up you have to through the whole thing again redownload updated the mods so theyre not broken….my playlist rn has 100 mods, so that would suck.

       Advantadge of a steam version is that if you buy JUST the base game ( it goes on sale for less then £10, saving you £190 of dlc lol) you can subscribe to all the mods that you want ez, and steam keeps them helpfully updated for you

   So can someone explain how to patch from an earlier version with the GOG format? Do i need to run ALL the DLC installers again, or just run the main installer and then copy the files over?

   Its very time consuming to run all the DLC installers because theres so many of them.

     Google it.
     You can write a script which iterates over all the .exe files in a directory and executes them, just place the dlc in a separate directory. There’s a command line option which does unattended installs, like you don’t have to accept the EULA, you do in on the command line.

     But if you have to ask I’m guessing this will be too hard for you, idk.

     Just google it.

   batch install script.
   save as .bat file and update path.
   enjoy

   @echo off

   REM Set the directory containing the .exe files
   set “install_directory=E:\downloads\temp\Stellaris_3.10.1_(69144)_win_gog\DLC”

   REM Change the working directory to the installation directory
   cd /d “%install_directory%”

   REM Loop through all .exe files in the directory and install them silently one by one
   for %%i in (*.exe) do (
   start /wait “Installing %%i” “%%i” /silent
   echo Installation of %%i is complete.
   )

   echo All installations are complete.
   pause
