Game hanging and continuing periodically

Nick S shared this bug 22 months ago
Won't Fix

I've recently bought the game and I have similar issues to others reported.

The game runs fine. But every 5 minutes or so it hangs for ~10s and then carries on. The sound continues and animations are still there (like wavy grass) but the game is not accessible. This is just about tolerable when building, but almost unplayable when flying.

This is on a AMD Ryzen 9 3900x, 32GB, GTX1060s.

As with other reported issues, I have an Intel i7 based laptop and it runs flawlessly on there.

So is this an AMD issue?

I've tried all the usual suggestions, clean install, no mods, firewall, AV etc. Even looking at process pinning to see if the game is jumping between numa domains. The dll in the development kit doesn't make a difference.

(oh and autosave is turned off)

Any thoughts?

Hello, Nick!

Thank you for writing to us and sharing the log file.

After investigating your log, it seems you are using MODs which could be the reason for the game's hanging. We recommend removing/deactivating all MODs and rechecking if the issue persists.

If you still experience the issue, kindly try lowering your graphic preset to Low/Medium. To do so, from the Main menu, click on Options, then on Graphics, and change the Quality preset to Low or Medium.

As you have mentioned trying various workarounds already, we still suggest attempting the following steps that might resolve your issue;

Verify your game files on Steam

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

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

In case none of the above workarounds solves your issue, kindly send us the new log file when experiencing this issue.

Kind Regards,

Hello, Engineer!

Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.
