Hello Engineer,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum. We sincerely apologize for the issue you’ve been experiencing with the new update.

Could you please share a bit more detail about this issue?

Did it happen just once, or does the game crash every time you launch it or load/start a world?

Did you change any in-game settings before the crashes started? Or is there anything specific that consistently causes the crash?

You could try restarting Steam (ending Steam processes via Task Manager) and see if that helps.

If not, try deleting the game's config file (please note, this will reset your in-game settings, which you can set again after launching the game) and the ShaderCache folder. Then start the game and try creating a new world or repeat the steps that were causing the crash.

  • You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg (config) file by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers. Find the SpaceEngineers.cfg file and delete it (game will create a new one at the time of launch)

Also, delete the ShaderCache folder

  • Same access and steps as SpaceEngineers.cfg

Once done, verify the game files again on Steam (wait for all files to get verified successfully) and then launch the game.

If the game still crashes, please send us the latest log file along with any steps or specific conditions that cause the crash. This will help us investigate further.

Kind Regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department

Changing settings in fresh star system menu and the game consistently crashes in the menu. To see if I can get in the game at all I tried the quick play button and then turned on admin controls to take me to a trade station since that was to be one of the key changes. I can start and stay in a quick start game, but the economy station is an old design, not new. Then I joined a server to see if I could do that, joined, and those economy stations are updated. So somehow something is wrong with trying to start a star system world as it crashes in the menu and even if I try to skip the menu it still crashes. You should already have a bug report from one of my crashes.

Purchased game yesterday with six hours of game play, zero issues. Update today and now the game crashes within two minutes of startup regardless. Tried on both desktop and laptop, same issue. Tried the deleting cfg and shadercashe, but no luck. Something within this update is causing the issue.
