Game freezes on [Unloading world] when playing offline.
Solved
Today I played SE for a few hours in offline mode, obviously because no internet at the time....
I found when exiting out of a world to return to the main menu the game is freezing indefinitely at [Unloading world], then having to alt-tab out and forcing the game to close.
Screenshot showing where it is freezing.

I have the same bug 
My guess is telemetry is trying to run but you didn't take into consideration people do play the game offline and thus this is creating a situation of the game basically becoming stuck because there is no internet...
Just a wild guess.

Hello, KaiiKiller!
Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. I have been trying to reproduce offline this but sadly with no luck. Is this happening in a specific game/scenario or in a very intensive world? Maybe a lot of mods etc? If it has been able to save at all, are you able to provide a copy of the save to see if I can reproduce it at all?
Kind Regards

Hello, KaiiKiller!
Thank you for the further information. Would it please be possible to open a separate thread for the twitching issue? You can copy and paste the information over but it's just so I can link things separately from the back here. I can see what you mean about the twitching but will update further in the correct thread :)
Thank you so much!

Hello, KaiiKiller!
Are you still having issues with the twitching issue? I don't believe a new thread was made. Please let me know in case I have missed it :) Or, if it is not an issue anymore.

I have monitored the game log after this starts. The log indicates that the game is repeatedly autosaving the world about every two minutes. I saw "Autosave initiated" in the log about two dozen times after "Unloading world" appears on the screen. It only happens after playing for several hours. (Which is probably why you can't reproduce it.) I have not yet determined how long it takes for the bug to appear.

Hi all,
i have the same issue and a search on Google brought me here. I play singleplayer only, vanilla game, currently playing the "Learning to survive" scenario. Internet connection is always online on this computer.
When i load the game and exit after just a few minutes, all is fine. But when playing several hours, my exit screen is stuck at "unloading world", and i have to persuade it to "unload" by killing the SE task. I didn't even know, a world must be "unloaded" after saving it... why not just exit then? Nevermind... ;-)
In case it has something to do with hardware platform: i use AMD only. Ryzen 5 2600X and RX470 8GB, 32GB RAM, system (Win10 64) and game on 2 different SSD.
EDIT: i attached 2 logs. The older one represents a long game session with the issue while trying to exit, the newer one is for comparison after a pretty short session and a clean exit.

Same bug here. Vanilla. Play offline a lot. Played for several hours. Get stuck on Unloading world when exiting. I have had this problem multiple times over the past year. If I force stop Space Engineers, it messes up the save game, and causes hard drive issues. I have to do error checks on my hard drive to even get windows to respond well. Then most of the time messes up the Space Engineers game itself (steam sees it as not being installed). And I have to reinstall. Other save games are there, but the one it gets stuck on is gone.
Cannot just let Space Engineers run. I have let it run for 3 hours, and it never unloads. In task manager it shows its at about 4500 MB of memory at the time of the lockup. It dwindles down to about 1100 MB, but never lower. I'd send a save, but since it gets damaged, and then removed by error check, I can't.

The bug occurs after using any blueprint. It can occur if you load, bookmark a ship, and immediately exit without saving. It can occur after loading a blueprint into a projector. Relpacing a blueprint repeatedly can cause cause blueprunts to stop working alltogether. A symptom of this is that the new blueprint will have no picture. Blueprints will subsequently not load wirh the message "large blueprints take time to load", saving is not possible in this situation as "the game is already saving". At this point the game WILL get stuck "unloading world". Getting stuck frequently happens after accessing a blueprint in any way. It may happen occasionally without accessing blueprints if ctrl-c/ctrl-v are used alot. (ALOT!) I must point out that when I say offline I mean no internet connection at all, as that is how I play games. You may not be able to reproduce without putting steam in offline mode and disconnecting lan cable/turning off wifi. I have been using the blueprint menu as much as possible in all saves available. It is not connected to a particular save or blueprint. It is 'random' but I can make it happen 100% in any save just by using blueprint functions enough.

Hello, Engineers!
Thank you all for your comments. The user '"Xxxxxxxxxxxx' had excellent reproduction steps for this. I was able to reproduce the issue every time by putting Steam into offline mode, pasting a blueprint, and immediately exiting without saving. I originally thought this was fixed in an upcoming update but have found the issue persists. Due to this, I have reported the issue internally. I really appreciate everyone's comments and help on this :)

Laura, i have the issue, and i never ever used any blueprint OR set steam into offline mode. So, this issue cannot be related to blueprints or the offline mode. But lets wait for a fix, and then we'll check again. ;-)

This issue is not fixed. I just downloaded the game this week. I have only played vanilla, I'm always online. Every time I exit (all 4 times I've launched, played, then tried to exit), it freezes on "Unloading world".

the same problem here, no blueprint used and stuck at unloading world. Well done Ondrej :D try again but better next time.

Hi!
This issue is not fixed, I just found it.
It seems like I can not save the game while this bug appears. I tried to save right before I quit, and an error prompt told me that I am unable to save because the game was saving that time. It was suspicious, since saving used to be very quick. I tried to save again, but still the game didn't let me to do so. Then I pressed exit to main menu, in that moment i froze into the unloading game screen. I have got 2 DLC, warfare 2 and wasteland. But in the actual survival game there were several dlc elements. The game is Pertam Orbiter, default options. Right before I quit this game mode I played the very same Pertam Orbiter game in creative mode, using default options too, in order to save one of the preexisting ships blueprints, because I messed a ship up a littlebit (the Dropship). I did exit from the creative world with seemingly no saving, or unloading issues.
This ticket is unsolved.
Take care!

I have also just had this problem. In spite of 700 odd hours in the game, I never did the tutorial, so started it, no mods, no nothing, and it hangs on unloading world. I say hang, but the game is still running. Its as if it's waiting for flag to say its done. I had to close the window, then used steam, to finally close down the game. Windows 10. Nothing special.

I just bought the game and am having this issue, so it isn’t fixed. It doesn’t matter how long I play. I m currently in the tutorial Learning to survive. I’m on Steam .
