Working fine for me... Make sure you're not trying to run Stellaris version 3.6 open Beta, as STNH has not been updated for that and still requires 3.5.2 (Fornax)...

Otherwise try verifying your game files...

Beyond that you need to give more information as to how the game is failing, such as what settings you are trying to play under... Have you tried different maps sizes, tried disabling all sub mods, etc?

Also, when saying it doesn't load do you mean it's crashing at 25% or not loading past 25%? If it's crashing, there is something going on. If it's stalling then you have to wait and be patient because for some people it's taking several minutes to get past the 25% hump.

Year, i need 10+ minutes time to load. i could play a game, but it crashed after 30 minutes. Thank you though.

Sounds like you're trying to load a map that is too large for your system to handle...

STNH is much harder on your PC than vanilla is as it does an awful lot more behind the scenes I find, not to mention the potential map sizes are immense compared to vanilla...

If it's taking 10+ minutes to load try scaling back your map size as you're probably over doing it... Loading off an SSD also helps immensely, if you're not already...

What are your PC specs, btw, for reference?

How long did you wait before giving up? As like said above the load time currently for a brand new game can take over 10 minutes unfortunately with the load bar staying in that 25% position most of that time.

I'm getting the same issue, I don't think it's a specs problem (or at least, I hope not) as I have an RTX 3090 and 64GB RAM...

I can commit, that I needed to wait about 5-10 minutes before the new game started. I also was confused first, but it work. I also have 32 GB RAM, RTX 3080 Mobile. No idea, what the game is doing this time ^^.

Does not seem to be doing this for everyone then as I do get a little bit of a pause (maybe a few minutes) at around the 25% mark, but it has always done that, but no where near the 5-10 minutes some people are describing, unless I'm loading one of the very largest (ie, 4,000 system) maps which I'd expect given the size of the map, anyway...

I admit, i just need a dominion ship set for the standard stellaris and i am happy. But there is no one. :(

My game is also stuck at 25%

Same here, takes a while to load then crashes. I have a high end rig running an i9 13900k and a MSI Suprim 4090, 32 GB DDR5. Do we know when they are updating the Mod to support the latest version?

Just roll back to 3.5.3, and disable the custom UI mods (since they have been updated), and it still works fine...

i am running JUST new horizons, from an SSD, on a pretty nice machine, and it won't get past 25% for me either. i even started a new game, went to take a dump for 20 minutes, and came back and it was still stuck at 25%. there's something going on here. i've been trying to google how to fix it and its just an endless sea of steam and reddit threads of "the game won't load past 25%" and people saying "idk it load slow" and it still not going past 25%.
