Major performance and rendering issues after latest update - Infinite loading and missing textures/U
Need More Information
Since the latest major update, my game has become unplayable due to severe loading and rendering issues. Prior to this update, the game functioned correctly without any problems.
Issue Details: When attempting to load any saved game, the loading process takes an excessively long time. Once the save finally loads, the following issues occur:
- Missing Textures: World textures fail to render properly.
- Physics Failure: In-game physics do not initialize.
- UI/HUD Issues: Neither the game interface (HUD) nor the settings menu interface are visible.
Troubleshooting performed:
- Integrity Check: I verified the game files via Steam. All files were validated successfully, but the issue persists.
- Cache/App Data Reset: I attempted to resolve the issue by deleting the AppData and ShaderCache folders in Roaming\SpaceEngineers2. While this allowed the game to load correctly one time, the issue returned immediately after restarting my computer, indicating that the game files or configuration become corrupted again upon launch.
- New Save Test: Creating a brand new world initially works, but as soon as I save and reload it, the same bugs occur.

I’m reporting a similar performance issue here. I started a quick survival mode run as soon as version V2.3 was released; I’m at 20% colonization of the Verdure sector and 4% overall, and the game is running with an annoying amount of slowdown.
Current game status:
CPU - Main Thread: 88.75 ms (532%);
GPU - VRAM: 6.27 GB of 7.01 GB - Frame: ~16–22 ms;
Encounters: 9,705 (NPC), AllManagedSystems: 65,132 entities, ManagedWorldArea: 55,427 entities;
SPECS:
Win10
Intel Core i5 10400F

В последней версии у меня тоже такое бывает что игра при нажатии кнопки продолжить крутит загрузку бесконечно , минут 20 ждал) , но потом просто нашел причину, При включении игры, когда резко нажимаю продолжить она не прогружается иногда и не включается, но если при запуске игры немного повисеть в меню примерно 30 секунд на него смотреть просто глазами а потом нажать продолжить то загружается нормально.
А что касается текстур, у меня тоже постоянно то белые полоски моментами появляются то вижу сквозь планету, попробую переустановить игру, но думаю вряд ли с этим связано, мне кажется это после того как пытались сгладить провалистость(провалы в текстуры) в текстуры)

I’m having the same problem. Aside from this bug—which eventually goes away and everything returns to normal after restarting the game several times—the incredible amount of stuttering introduced with this new update is making the game impossible to play. I’m going to try what Arthur Figueiredo suggested.

Hello Engineers,
Performance of the Game should now be stable and not drop or cause stutters / lags after the release of Vertical Slice 2.4. Could you please confirm that this is the case for you on current Game version: 2.4.0.95?

Hello Bartosz,
I can confirm that I am still experiencing similar performance issues on game version 2.4.0.95. I am playing Survival mode in my main, long-running save.
Since the update, I have noticed more frequent stuttering, short freezes, and noticeably less stable FPS. The slowdown is especially apparent when working with large blueprints: previewing, positioning, or interacting with them can cause significant stuttering and temporary loss of responsiveness.
This is based on regular gameplay rather than a controlled benchmark, so I cannot yet confirm that the update is the sole cause. However, the performance degradation became noticeable after updating to 2.4.0.95 and appears similar to the symptoms reported by other players. I will continue testing the same save and can provide additional logs if required.
