Space Engineers crashing my PC

Zuriys shared this bug 5 months ago
Won't Fix

I’ve encountered a problem where Space Engineers is making my PC unresponsive. The game freezes, my fans slow way down, almost turning off, and my whole computer doesn’t work. I can’t alt-tab, can’t ctrl-alt-delete, windows key doesn’t work. The only thing I can do to get it started again is to hold the power button until it turns off. Attached is a video of what happens. My graphics drivers are all up to date, in fact I updated them today. Don’t know what’s happening, this never occurred before, but now it’s happening regularly.

Hello, Zuriys,

thank you for letting us know about this problem and we are sorry that it is happening to you.

Please try our general workaround first. These help to solve most of the issues for most of the players. These are:

  • Verify your game files in Steam – right-click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Installed 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 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

If nothing from this would work and you would be still experiencing same problems, can you please send me a log file from the affected game session?

You can access your log files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards
