Periodic Game Freeze with Animation and Sounds still running

Hello, recently I ran into an issue that has prevented me from playing entirely.

After about 5 minutes, no matter whether I am in a world, on a server, or in the main menu, my games freezes while animations and sounds continue to run. I have tried a number of fixes both old and new and none of them worked.


My Specs:


Windows 11

Nvidia 4070TI 12GB

11th Gen Intel Core i7-11700F 2.5GHz 8 cores

32GB RAM

SSD storage drives


This message keeps showing up in the logs around the time the game freezes:

The VRage log doesn't show anything during the freezes.

I also added the log files in the attachments.


Here is a list of what I tried when it came to fixing


  • Windows update
  • restarting pc multiple times (persisted over three days now)
  • replacing bin64 file using the one from ModSDK
  • Deleting SpaceEngineers.cfg
  • Deleting ShaderCache2
  • Deleting both
  • lowering graphics
  • changing all kinds of display options (windowed, vsync, fullscreen, etc.)
  • disconnecting every usb device
  • disabling analytics (By playing offline and later I tried a mod)
  • reinstalling graphics driver
  • Deleting every file related to Space engineers, uninstall into, restarting pc, and then reinstalling
  • used two different storage disks (all my storage disks are ssd)
  • Uninstalling mods

  • This issue has prevented me from playing with a friend and even playing by myself.
