Won't Fix

Hi

I asked for help getting Space Engineers to run on my Windows 7 computer but the Steam forums where unable to help.

It consistently freezes at 2 GB of ram usage after about a minute of loading.

I tried running it with only 1 monitor on and that did not help.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Unfortunately, as mentioned in the Steam forum post, Windows 10 is the minimum requirement to run Space Engineers as shown on the Steam page. I would suggest trying the below to see if any of these assist as I see for example your DirectX Driver Version is out of date but as mentioned, Windows 10 is the minimum requirement. I really apologise for this.

  • 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

  • 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

Kind Regards

Laura, QA Department
