Crash on splash (before going fullscreen)
I haven't played in a few months and the game is now crashing a few seconds after the splash image is shown, but before going fullscreen and playing intro. I'm not really sure, but I don't think the game updated since the last time I played (Dec 2022)
As far as I can tell from the log, I'm getting a FileNotFoundException pertaining to a "RunPluginLoader" file. I followed the path to make sure, and there really isn't a file named "RunPluginLoader"; there is a single folder named "Data" and 2 files named "metadata.mod" and "thumb.jpg". I don't know how to get that file, since the game was uninstalled and completely reinstalled, presumably with workshop content included.
It may be relevant that I recently moved my Steam Library from C: disk (an old hdd) to B: disk (Samsung 980 NVMe SSD) and didn't run SE until now.
What I tried so far:
Verifying game integrity, all 31-thousand-something files were verified successfully.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the game, issue persists.
Restarting PC, issue persists.
Log attached.
Specs, if relevant:
Mobo: Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X
CPU: Intel i7 11700K
RAM: 48GB DDR4 3200MHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070
Game is installed on a Samsung 980 NVMe SSD.
Edit: Windows 10 OS, GPU driver 527.56
I have the same bug
Hello, engineer!
Thank you for writing to us, and sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.
There have been some changes in our Plugin Policy. Because of this, the existing Plugin Loader on the Workshop has been marked as deprecated, and some players are reporting crashes on launch with the "RunPluginLoader" expectation in their log.
If you previously used the Workshop version you may need to clear/change your launch options ;
In Steam> right-click on Space Engineers > Properties > General > clear the 'Launch Options' box.
Although, we recommend waiting until the game updates before reinstalling Plugin Loader, but if you still want to install Plugin Loader in the game version 1.201 you can use the Plugin Loader from GitHub with new launch options: https://github.com/sepluginloader/PluginLoader
Kindly let us know if the above mentioned workarounds resolve your issue.
Kind Regards,
