Game crashes (minidump) when loading saves containing large grids (~100,000+ blocks)

Game Version: 2.2.0.2002


System Specs:

- CPU: i7-11800H

- GPU: RTX 3070 Laptop (8GB VRAM)

- RAM: 16GB

- OS: Windows 11 (26200)

- Storage: NVMe SSD


Description:

The game crashes to desktop with a minidump (ProcessFailureDump.dmp) every time I try to load a save that contains a large ship (~200,000 PCU / ~100,000 blocks). A command prompt window briefly appears showing "[createdump] Writing minidump for process..." and then the game closes.


Important: I can paste the same ship (and even larger ships over 400,000 PCU) from a blueprint while already in-game with no issues. The game runs fine with these ships once loaded. The crash only happens when I leave the world (either returning to the main menu or closing the game entirely) and then try to load the save again.


This also happens on other worlds with large ships, with or without mods.


I don't believe this issue was present immediately after VS2.2 launched — it may have been introduced by one of the subsequent hotfixes, though I'm not 100% certain which one.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create an Empty World (creative mode)

2. Paste a large ship blueprint (~100,000+ blocks)

3. Play normally — no issues

4. Save and exit to main menu or close the game

5. Try to load the same save again

6. Game crashes with minidump during loading


Expected: The save loads successfully.

Actual: Game crashes every time during the loading screen.


Attached:

- Full save folder (Executor Super Star Destroyer Hangar) including backups

- SpaceEngineers2_260404_205255_542_7544.log

- SpaceEngineers2_260404_205255_542_7544_Render12.log


Note: The main log shows no exception — it simply stops mid-load at world deserialization, suggesting a native-level crash. The render log also shows VRAM 'missing bytes' warnings and missing SPERA character material textures.

I have only experienced this issue since the release of Hotfix 2.2.0.2002 - my large grids loaded without issue before this patch.
