That Perkel shared this bug ago

Won't Fix

I've just installed SE, created a new world and my game keeps crashing after just a few minutes ingame. Attaching two logs mentioning the "System.AccessViolationException".

Hello!

I'm sorry you're having this issue. I would suggest doing the following first of all -

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

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

I also found a thread from quite some time ago relating to the same System.AccessViolationException although their game was crashing much quicker, they fixed the issue with a full reinstall of Windows in the end. It may be worth checking through that too.

I've tried all of the above solutions. After new installation and deletion of cfg and cache files, the game was running fine for about 10 minutes (compared to 2-5 mins before), then crashed with same Exception. Log attached below.

Hey,

yesterday, I've tried to reinstall Windows and sadly, no change. Again the game run for about 10 mins, then crashed with the same exception. Any ideas?

Hello,

it has been two weeks since your last reply. I would like to know if you're looking into this issue, as in this state the game is sadly unplayable.

Thank you for your effort.

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there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.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