Crash to Desktop
Won't Fix
Latest hotfix (10/1/25)
During play, about an hour into a session, was holding a welder and went to swap to another tool. I hit F1 unintentionally, the game froze a few seconds and then crashed directly to desktop. No error dialog. Ugh.
I have the same bug
Hello Morphy,
Thank you for reaching out on the forum.
Could you please share a bit more information about this issue?
Did it occur while playing in Single Player mode or on a server?
Did the crash happen only once, or can it be reproduced by repeating the same steps (holding a welder and pressing the F1 key)?
Does it happen only in a particular world or server, or in any world/server?
Please try the following steps and see if they help resolve the issue:
Verify your game files in Steam
Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file
Delete ShaderCache folder
If the issue still occurs after trying the steps, please send us the latest log file from the time of the crash. The log file name starts as, SpaceEngineers_
Kind Regards,
