Space engineers cannot unload a world after using blueprints

Hello!

Thank you for letting me know. Is it possible that you could also supply me with the affected blueprint so that I can try to reproduce this?

Kind Regards

Assuming my world has actually finished unloading by now (I left my PC running overnight) I'll ZIP up the save game and post it here after work.

The only blueprint currently active and unfinished in my world is this one: Steam Workshop::Agility Interplanetary Multipurpose Frigate 1.1 (steamcommunity.com) which is about 1/3 constructed so far (starting at the rear).

Was still unloading when I checked just now, hope my world isn't corrupted. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai6xMvCa62t1jNFTVA34iTmBfT3q2g?e=vUTH35

Hello Kristian!

Thank you very much for providing both of these. Sadly, I haven't been able to reproduce this. I've tried the blueprint in a number of new worlds in creative mode as mentioned previously and it has unloaded fine. I have then tried the world and that has also unloaded fine. I assume when you went to leave the game you first saved it and exited? Rather than saving recently and simply exiting? Just trying to see if any specific order is triggering this.

Yes. I had been playing for several hours if that makes any difference.

On exit I told it to save before unloading.

Hello Kristian!

Thank you for the further information on this.

After playing a bit yesterday the world unloaded in about 5 seconds as expected, seems to be a transient issue.

Luckily force quitting doesn't seem to corrupt the save file.

I was playing Learning to survive scenario, was a the advanced production task and pressed escape, clicked exit and chose to save. The unloading world message showed and after 2 minutes had to just end task the game. This only happened once yet and I am sure it is not easy to reproduce, however if more people comment when they experience maybe we can identify a common denominator.

I was not using any blueprints though. The last thing I remember was that I needed to build and connect an assembler and did not have enough to build it as well not enough playing time (dishes cannot be wash themselves).

If it happens again I will add try to add more info.

Also this happens everytime I exit from that world, not just once or twice but everytime.

You can find your save games here: `%appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<steamId>\` they are simply folders with the name of the save, EG: Star System.

Hello Cole!

Yes as mentioned above, please do the following:

• You can access your save files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves. There should be a folder with your SteamID and your saves.

Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching files you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

I also experience stuck on "unloading world". But in my case this is while playing the "learning to survive"-scenario. Also often the game will say "Game already saving" when I try to save. "Save as" still works.

I was able to fix it by Ctrl+Del on one of the blueprints that I pasted from the workshop, it's weird because that blueprint doesn't cause any problems on my Earth Like Planet save file.

Hello Cole!

I'm glad you fixed it. Do you happen to know which blueprint was causing the issue for you?

Only having this issue with the "Learning to survive" mission - it also presents as Patrick Gule's issue where when trying to save manually it says "Game already Saving".

Hello, Stuart!

Does this happen after a long time of playing the mission? I can exit it without it taking much longer than a few seconds from the starting area. If you were to exit at this point, would it take a long time to unload too? With the game already saving, is this also after an extended time playing or, could you experience this fairly early if you were to choose to save?
