game crashes when loading server list

Won't Fix

I am having an issue when trying to load into a server. The game will search for servers for a while then, when the list hits around 1k servers found, the game hard freezes requiring task manager to close. The background continues to play though which is odd.

Hello, David!

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Is this something that has just started happening after the recent update? As the game doesn't actually crash and more, freezes there doesn't appear to be an exception or issue shown in the log. I would suggest the following first:

Verify your game files in Steam

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

/S0pvQLtUEgB4NHg6S7dAwhg0g8ZHo8GhRYKRC7wDW1ZSyzG74VZ-EPTEP73aC0s0tqK_Uzopc8HbmErkaxTkBLzELrlbaMB990Afwn2-bm1V8mfmF4hhbAQAD6AnHeByrRLXxqVxZAPTAjtVqw

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 SpaceEngineers.cfg

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

I'd then also like to see if anything show up in your Windows event log viewer if you could please attach this from when it happens if the above does not help.

Kind Regards
