    Hi, since about a week or so ago I haven't been able to get past the screen that says 'Generating Planets' when I try and start a game. It just stays on that screen with the loading symbol up until I turn terminate PA in task manager. I've never had a problem before. Its not a Gamma issue as I was playing it fine a couple of weeks ago, it just seems to have been very recently.

    I've tried removing the game in steam and reinstalling but still getting the same problem.

    If I hold F5 it flickers to the solar system until I let go and it goes back to the 'Generating Planets' loading screen. Grateful for any suggestions.

    Cheers

    disable ALL mods then re-enable one by one to see which one breaks the game

    That did the trick. Many thanks. I thought the mods would have gone when I un-installed the game and deleted the directory in the steam folder but they are obviously hidden elsewhere. Removed them in modmanager and solved the problem.

    Cheers

    The culprit is Commander Health Display. Another one that causes a less major bug is Planet Name Themes. All of the others work without issue AFAIK.
