DungeonMister: Could you post the result of the command so we can see the error message
I think that you can get that message when trying to run a 32 bit program on a 64 bit system that doesn't have the 32 bit library's installed and stellaris is a 32 bit application.
I recommend installing the 32 bit library's required by the game. Running the command ldd on it should show you what library's it needs, I have never used Arch Linux or it package manager pacman but you will need the i686 or i386 packages probably using multilib to get them
Looking at the multilib section of official_repositories on the arch linux wiki gives their instructions for enabling the multilib repository you need
When I run ldd on the binary it says it's not a dynamic executable.
Yeah I thought it was 32bit problem. I have the multilib repo enabled though already but not sure which libraries it needs.
This is the output of start.sh:
~/.gog/Ste ./start.sh
Running Stellaris
./start.sh: line 21: ./stellaris: No such file or directory
But the file exists:

Nvermind my previous comment, installing the libraries manually did the trick.
Thank you!!! <3
