Stuck at 100% Loading

Solved

Hi!

I and some friends of mine recently encountered a bug (or something) when trying to join each other's game. When trying to join, the loading percentage will stop at "100% Loading" and won't progress from that point to putting the character into the game. It will always follow the same pattern of stopping at 50% then jumping to 100% where it gets 'stuck'. This *may* have started because we attempted to play with mods but I'm not sure.

We've all found this forum post on Steam that mentions uninstalling then deleting the %appdata% folder (except for saves and blueprints) then reinstalling but it hasn't fixed our issue. I've been seeing this issue among other players recently, so I figured I'd make a post here.

Just a follow up to this.

We were able to semi-join each other if playing on creative, however, it does take 'forever' during the "Streaming" phase. Only one of us were actually able spawn in but we couldn't figure why their game was paused or how to undo it.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.

Could you please confirm, are you currently trying to join your friend’s game via the Steam Overlay?

If so, please try the following workarounds that may help:

  1. Open Space Engineers → go to Join Game > Friends → and attempt to join your friend’s lobby from there (rather than through the overlay). This will likely resolve the issue.
  2. If the friend’s game does not appear in the Join Game screen, please make sure all players (including the host) are using the same Steam Download Region.
  • You can check this under Steam → Settings → Downloads → Download Region.
  • If players are in different regions, please set everyone to the same region as the host.

Once done, the host’s game should appear in the Join Game > Friends screen for all clients. Please check if you can then successfully join this way.

If this resolves the issue, just to let you know, we already have an internal ticket open regarding the problem with joining via the Steam Overlay here;

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/48996

If it does not resolve the issue, please send us the latest log files from both the host and client at the time the issue occurs so we can investigate further.

  • You (all players and host) can access log files by typing %appdata% into the Windows search bar → navigate to Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Kind regards,

Awesome

We pretty much had that same problem as that other ticket.

  1. We weren't able to see each other's games on the in-game join screen.
  2. Changing the launch option didn't fix anything.


Changing our Download Region to all be the same region fixed the issue.


Thank you!
