Critical GPU crashes

Bob Jones shared this bug 6 years ago
Outdated

So typically this game crashes every few hours on me, either with a "GPU crashed" error, or with this error which I can get to easily repeat by opening Waterfox while in game. I am running 64 bit Windows 10, my GPU is a AMD 580 with 8gb of ram, and Space Engineers is never using more than 3gb of my 12gb of ram. I also verified the game is running the 64 bit Space Engineers by opening task manager and seeing where SpaceEngineers is running from (bin64).


I tried to recreate this issue however when I started up a world and immediately opened Waterfox my GPU crashed completely, as in monitors weren't responding at all. This has happened with my GPU Driver on version 18.7.1 and 18.6.1. I've also had the game completely crash my computer to the point of it rebooting, but that is rare, and I cant reliably recreate that.

I thought this might have been a power supply issue or overheating issue so I ran Heaven and Cinebench at the same time for about half an hour and my computer was (relatively) fine. I also created a new world in empty space with no mods and and wasn't able to get the game to crash, but I did an easy save earth world and as soon as i started Waterfox the GPU crashed completely.

I've also verified the integrity of the files in SpaceEngineers, and I've also ran the game at minimal settings with no mods and it still crashes.


Attached is the log with the error that I am running in 32bit, the Space Engineers logfile and finally a relevant event from EventViewer.

Verified RAM was working through memtest, also followed various guides to improving windows 10 and ram use including disabling the "maximum memory" setting during boot, ensuring paging files were disabled, and also switching the ram around on the motherboard.

My computer seems to be very reluctant to use a lot of memory, I was about to get Waterfox to use up to about 4gb of ram through opening a bunch of Youtube videos, and I was able to push it to about 6 through memory allocation software.

Happen to have a SpaceEngineers.log for one of these occurances?

Freshly crashed for your convenience. If you need more crashes I can totally do that for ya.


Also task manager is useless for reporting ram usage apparently, Process Hacker showed me recently using up to 7gb, though programs like discord crashed as well.

Looks like your vid card isn't keeping up with your settings.

Hm, well tomorrow I'll do more testing, I know it's not power supply or thermals issue, if it was I'm sure half an hour of benchmarks would have got them to crash. Thanks for the direction, should figure it out soon.

Yup its my GPU apparently, how is it not keeping up though? its got 8gb of memory, makes no sense that it would immediately die when something else is opened up. Also it crashes Discord after a while even on 1080p settings...

Finally for your viewing pleasure, bare minimal settings, keep in mind this was on a 28in 4k monitor, so zoom in to get the true experience.

Just a thought but do you have "page file" aka "virtual memory" enabled, if so then is it on system managed size or something else?

Start reporting to Steam as Harmful to Computer. This will FORCE them to fix it as Steam will delist them if they don't.

Good Morning,


Thank you very much for considering this issue, though I think its been solved.


I recently (this morning) did a clean install of the latest AMD drivers for my GPU (18.12.3) and ensured Windows was up to date, (version 1809) and tried to get the issues to occur again. I ran around in the default scenario, crashed the red ship into the station, etc and didn't get it to crash, even with discord and waterfox (would previously instantly kill the system) running.


Also tried easy start earth and still couldn't get the system to crash, so I think we're good to go here, thanks for all the help!

Unfortunately i have the same issue. After two hours the system shuts down discord, and will not let it re-open as long as the session of space engineers is still running. after an additional hour I get random black screen flashes. After an additional 30-45 minutes the GPU just shuts down, no warning and no error log. The GPU is running the latest drivers and is quite literally brand new. also running the most up to date version of windows.

I have the same issue. I am running a 980Ti and up untill I updated the official Nvidia drivers about a week ago, the game was running just fine. Right now the game crashes either immediately when booting up or, when i rarely get to actually reach the menu.. it crashes when loading in a game. The prompt says the driver crashed due to overheating, though I have no problems running any other game and everything seems to be in working order .

I'm having this bug as well. Have been for a long time. Happens with both a 2060 Super and a brand new 3080Ti, both of which play other intensive games like Cyberpunk flawlessly even when overloaded to the point of performance issues. As such I now consider Space Engineers harmful to computers, as it is also crashing Discord and Steam, and damaging your graphics driver until you completely restart your computer.

If you want this fixed, start reporting it to Steam as Harmful to Computer, which it truly is. They will either have to fix it or be delisted.
