Stellaris dev says performance is its "highest priority," but fixes aren't fast
New Stellaris DLC Shadows of the Shroud currently has a Steam review score of just 43% positive, yet once again it's not the content of the expansion at fault, but rather the impact on performance. Similar to the launches of Stellaris 4.0 and Biogenesis, most of the negative responses to the new release praise the factions and its handling of Psionic Ascension, but complain of bugs, desyncs, crashes, and instability. It's not a good look for one of the best 4X games on PC, and game director Stephen 'Eladrin' Muray explains some of the problems - but warns that the road to recovery could be a "long haul."
