Connection Problem/Game Paused - Not Responding

Redline shared this bug 4 years ago
Won't Fix

We have been running our own Space Engineers dedicated server for quite some time now and had no issues with version 1.193.

Since update 1.194 our dedicated server randomly experiences Connection Problem/Game Paused messages every 5 to 30 minutes that don't go away. During this time the server does not show up in the server list to join and in the servers task manager Space Engineers is not responding.

We have tried making new saves with mods, new saves without mods, a fresh install and every combination of each, still get the Connection Problem/Game Paused screen which lasts indefinitely until we restart the server.

Not always but sometimes we have been able to see that the lockup happens around the time the game auto saves.

Because of the randomness of the crashes the game is essentially unplayable at this time.

There are 1 to 6 of us that play on the server at a time but this doesn't seem to affect how often the message appears and how often the game becomes unresponsive.

Space Engineers is the only game running on the server.

Me and my friend have the same problem.

This is on an rented server from verygames.net. It has been working fine before this last update.

The Connection Problem seems to come in group of 3-4. When I have one, I just wait for the next 2 or 3. Then it works for some minutes.

Client freezes in "Game Paused" and shows somewhere in between the stars."F5" works, "F3" does not. No HUD no nothing.

Running a fresh game (e.g. Alienworld) seems to run for some minutes but stucks, too.

Have you ever found a solution for your problem?

Because it seems I’m suffering from the same type of issue.

I started a new server two weeks ago (can't access it right now so unsure of the version number) but I have a similar issue with getting connection problem/game paused as well. Seems to happen every 20-45 minutes but after about 7-10 seconds it starts working again until the next 20-40 min. time period goes by and it pauses again for a short time. It only started happening within the past two days. I don't have access to log files right now but may paste them later if I find something unusual.

Hello Redline!

I appreciate this thread is quite old now and there have been a number of updates since your post. Is this still persisting for you? Or, can I close this? :)

Kind Regards

Hello, Engineer!


Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.


If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.


Thank you for understanding.


Kind Regards
