Server not responding

Won't Fix

I was playing Space Engineers on Steam PC with my friend and we were playing on in my world with me inviting him. It was working fine yesterday for about 6 hours, and also today it was working fine for about another hour. Then steam servers went down for a bit and after that no matter what we do we can't connect to each other or any other server.


So far we have tried :


- Verifying your game files in Steam

- Deleting the SpaceEngineers.cfg file

- Reinstalling the game


I have attached log files from some of the sessions

Hello, v2Danny,

thank you for reaching our forum with this problem. We are sorry that it is happening to you.

Can you please provide me more information?

Is this problem restricted to this one particular save? Are you still able to play in single player? Or if you start other Lobby multiplayer, that is working for you? Or the (official) servers under the Join screen?

Also please clarify what exactly is happening. You are not able to load into the game (and thus the servers is not even started), or you can log in, load the game, be there and play there, while your friend is having troubles connecting?

Please try our general workarounds that help to most of the players to solve most of the problems they are dealing with. While I know you wrote that you already did some of those, please make sure you do even those again, so we can use that as a base line for further troubleshooting. These workarounds 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

Please let me know if anything from this list worked for you.

If not, please reply to the questions above and also share me a new log file (describe if you run the server, or was the one joining).

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards
