Perma Loading, and then game Perma paused

No Thanks shared this bug 20 days ago
Won't Fix

Ok so, this is starting to get really annoying, as I'm trying to play with my friends and this is negatively impacting all of our experiences. We all did First Jump mission as single player so everyone could learn the ropes. Now we try to play together, I try hosting, and my friend said he gets stuck in the loading screen 100%. He restarts and nothing. I tell him to host instead, I join him, and I got the problem as well, at this point it starts getting annoying and I start looking for solutions online, I saw something about deleting shaders folder, I did that, and it worked, I managed to log and play with him. Fast forward 1 day, We're about to play and now, whenever I connect to him, it says the game is Paused, when it isn't. And yes I know there's a pause button, but pressing it does nothing. So I try hosting, he connects, get's stuck on 100% again, restarts the game, and then manages to get past the 100% loading screen only to be stuck on paused game as well. So yeah. I really need a fix for this as i'm about to give up on the game if it keeps throwing bugs after bugs like this. And no we're not using any mods, it's completly vanilla.

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.

Could you please confirm, are you currently trying to join your friend’s game via the Steam Overlay?

If so, please try the following workarounds that may help:

  1. Open Space Engineers → go to Join Game > Friends → and attempt to join your friend’s lobby from there (rather than through the overlay). This will likely resolve the issue.
  2. If the friend’s game does not appear in the Join Game screen, please make sure all players (including the host) are using the same Steam Download Region.
  • You can check this under Steam → Settings → Downloads → Download Region.
  • If players are in different regions, please set everyone to the same region as the host.

Once done, the host’s game should appear in the Join Game > Friends screen for all clients. Please check if you can then successfully join this way.

If this resolves the issue, just to let you know, we already have an internal ticket open regarding the problem with joining via the Steam Overlay here;

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/48996

If it does not resolve the issue, please send us the latest log files from both the host and client at the time the issue occurs so we can investigate further.

  • You (all players and host) can access log files by typing %appdata% into the Windows search bar → navigate to Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Kind regards,
