Stellaris 3.10.3 Pyxis Beta Update Focuses on Stability

The Stellaris 3.10.3 Pyxis open beta update on Steam focuses on stability, addressing Linux startup crashes and federation perk error logging. It also freezes technological progress for pre-FTLs in Federation's End and updates several advisor and ambassador assignments.

Paradox Interactive has pushed a new update to the Steam Open Beta for Stellaris, delivering version 3.10.3 ahead of its official release. This iteration prioritizes crash fixes and stability improvements.

Stability and Crash Fixes

The update fixes a startup crash for Linux and Steam Deck users. It also resolves a crash tied to modifiers updating for recently destroyed empires, and fixes a crash that occurred when surveying a planet immediately after it was removed from the map.

Gameplay and Balance Changes

Pre-FTLs located in Federation's End now have their technological progress frozen. Ulastar is now available as an advisor, and Vas the Gilded serves as an ambassador. Additionally, pre-FTL empires and released vassals will now possess fully functional councils when they ascend or gain independence.

UI and Modding Improvements

New entries notifications on outliner tabs now clear properly when using keyboard shortcuts, and empty space has been removed from the topbar. Modding tools receive a new moddable_conditions_custom_tooltip parameter for civics modifications, alongside improved error logging to track invalid federation perks.

Why this patch matters

Version 3.10.3 brings Stellaris closer to a finalized state by eliminating startup and campaign crashes while polishing quality-of-life issues.
