Game crashes when trying to connect to my Dedicated server

Foxilein shared this bug ago

Won't Fix

I have since a week now the typical Crash to Desktop when trying to connect to my Dedicated server. I have done almost anything in my power to make it work. Nothing helps. I believe its related to this post aswell as it describes perfectly what is happening :https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/crash-to-desktop-on-connecting-to-dedicated-server

Im incredibly annoyed as its only my client that crashes while 4 other people on this server can join without a problem. The crashes varie from going back to desktop without any message to getting a graphics driver crash and to a game freeze that lasts forever. Right now im not sure what i should provide. I will Put in the latest Log that SE threw at me.

Update: I have medium sucess when deleting the ShaderCache and ShaderCache2 Folders. Only one connect is possible anyway. Next reconnect is a crash again.

Update Again: I can confirm that clearing the ShaderCache2 Folder helps in my case. But i have to delete it everytime i join or reconnect.

Hello, Foxilein!

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Is this just connecting to your dedicated server? Do you have the same issue connecting to another server? Would it be possible to try your server with all mods disabled to see if this makes a difference? Then if you could supply a mod free log?

Also, please try the below steps too:

Verify your game files in Steam

Right click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files

/bfSnH0rGoN-NgctSWBJN3LfvWZvgnfye9BrPgucxV0n8TDpNc-7yZYwSifdRXyl1quu20KGUNmHzSf6VGRbhWS4a_EYn2MclxJSOz6eVarmz-fhTWVaofVOAVZN_l_leF9dgQ5GF=s0

Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file

It means your game configuration will be deleted
You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Delete ShaderCache folder

Same access as SpaceEngineers.cfg

Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
Restart Steam
Reinstall VC Redist 2017
Update graphic drivers
Reinstall the game
Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Hello,

A day has passed and i tried everything above without success. What helps for me is: 1.Clearing teh Shadercache2, Turning V-Sync off and removing my player data and character in game from the server. But not even that is 100% Successfull. A friend now wrote me a script that Deletes those things upon starting the game. I have no clue how i can help. I Dont know what kind of informations you need so an error can be found.

Hello,

So thats the weird thing. Other servers like Keen Officials i can join no problem. So can i join random servers with 100+Mods. But my Server im not able to join even with a fresh clean survival world with no mods. One connect is fine but once i rejoin my game crashes as said above. And now im able to join roughly 1 out of 4 connects by clearing the Shadercahce2 and making a new SpaceEngineers.cfg each time. Wich is pretty annoying as all settings are gone.

Hello, Foxelin!

Thank you for the information. Would it be possible to please provide a log where the issue arises without mods installed?

I just started having this problem yesterday. Same exact issues as the person who wrote about this months ago. There is nothing in the log file. The game CTD's when joining a dedicated server. It doesn't do it all the time just most of the time. What is better is that it happens no matter what computer I use. So it is based on the account I am using to log in, not the computer. I tried to log in on a friends computer, he logs in fine. I try to log in I get a CTD. I attached the last log. All the logs end at the exact same place.

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
