Not sure what to put here as I don't know the cause or have any idea how to diagnose, so here's just a description and some of the troubleshooting I've already done ad nauseum.


Issue: Space Engineers, when running a world with anything other than the player present sucks up ~11kmb of memory, at highest launching my PC to 89% memory utilization. (32gb DDR5)

This causes frequent freezes of my PC, about 1 30s long freeze every 1-2 mins, and on 2 occasions crashed windows. This also has effected my keyboard, as each time there is a freeze, the next 5 seconds either see the keyboard being completely unresponsive, or with input delay that essentially render it unresponsive.

Assumed and troubleshot causes:

1. Use of Pulsar plugin loader. To test this, I disabled Pulsar, and eventually uninstalled it from my PC. No change.

2. Use of Edge-Be-Gone mods. Disabled mods, and saw temporary improvement, but eventually the memory utilization spiked again at no lower a level.

3. Use of Build Vision mod. Build vision threw out errors, tried removing mod, no change.

4. Use of mods in general. Tested by opening an unmodded empty world. Issues were not present until opening blueprint menu, at which point PC froze, whitescreened, and locked up for 30s.


All of these tests and troubleshoots were done on separate launches of the game itself.

Other troubleshooting already attempted:

1. Verify Integrity. Done 7 times in the last 2 days alone, no less than 15 times since this started happening last week. No changes, no file issues found.

2. Restarting PC/Clearing PC memory cache. Similar to Ver.Int, done multiple times in the last week. No changes on any times.

3. Updating Drivers. All drivers are up to date as of 7/27, prior driver update was 7/23. No changes.


I'm at a loss for anything more I can do. After I type this out and submit I'll be attempting to just uninstall and reinstall. I've attached the only logs that have been generated in this time.
