Space engineers crashing during loading from Steam

Hello Colin,

thank you for reaching our forum with this problem.

According to your log, it seems that you are using "+connect IP Port xxx.xx.xx.xx:xxxxx" launch option. Is that possible? Can you please check "Steam - Library - right click on the SE game - Properties - General - Launch Options" and if this/any other text, please delete it.

Then, verify the game files and try to launch the game again. To verify the files, please:

Right-click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files

If this won't work for you, please try also other general workarounds. These are:

• Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file (it means your game configuration will be deleted) - you can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.
• Delete ShaderCache folder - same access as above
• Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
• Restart Steam
• Reinstall VC Redist 2017
• Update graphic drivers
• Reinstall the game
• Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Please let me know if anything from above worked for you.

If not, please describe the current situation and changes - if some happened - in the behavior. Also please send me new logs.

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards
