Hello engineer,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum. We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing.
Could you please try the following workarounds that could resolve this issue for you;
Type %appdata% into your Windows search bar to access the hidden Roaming folder. From there, navigate to AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\cache and AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\cache, and delete its contents.
Right-click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files
and for DS Server Manager, Right-click on Space Engineers Dedicated Server in Steam Library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify Integrity of tool Files
After performing these steps, launch the game, start the Dedicated Server, and check if the issue persists on an unmodded server. If the issue doesn't occur on unmodded but on the modded DS, the issue might be related to the MODs. However if the issue still occurs, please send us full game and server log files.
Kind Regards,
