Game crashes no matter what scenario I try

[GooseNipples]

Was able to play a few months ago, and game just started crashing every time I try to load a scenario. Gave up for awhile, thinking the game was still fairly new, and tried again today. Removed all mods I had installed. Lowered settings from High (which had been working) to Medium. Still crashes on scenario load, or gets stuck at "Loading Terrain Chunks". Turned off AA, VSync. Changed to Windowed Fullscreen. Nothing helping

I will be happy to provide my logs.
Relevant "Red" sections according to CMTrace:

Unsure if relevant:

When Sea Power crashes, it takes Steam with it.
Noted that Steam disappears from the System tray.

A few months ago, the game was (also) crashy, but doing a reboot after a crash and then launching without running anything else generally helped.

That is no longer the case.

Not running any AV besides Windows Security/Defender.

Running TSRs are nvidia app, GoG Galaxy, Steam Client, Citrix Workspace, Logitech Gaming Software, Virtual CloneDrive

Hmm that's a weird one. Could you please send me the Player.log and dxdiag log to [e-mail]?

Player.log should be here:
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Triassic Games\Sea Power

Also would be useful if you could send me the most recent log from this location:
steamapps\common\Sea Power\Sea Power_Data\Logs

Thank you!

[GooseNipples]

I will get that to you shortly. Thank you for replying

[baxter.bj]

Hi My name is Brian Baxter, I've the same problem and have emailed you my Logs.
Kind Regards

[GooseNipples]

Good morning,

Is there any update on this issue?

Thank you

[GooseNipples]

There could be more from the Devs pending this info, so please bear that in mind:

I tried launching some scenarios in Sea Power today, with the expected crashes occuring thereafter.

After looking at my System log in Event Viewer, I noted a warning at the time of the crash:

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: Sea Power.exe (18892) consumed 5398667264 bytes, cmd.exe (6468) consumed 2501816320 bytes, and cmd.exe (12056) consumed 2496483328 bytes.

I checked my paging file size on my C drive, where Sea Power is located, and noted that I had the settings set as:

min 2938 MB
max 5876 MB

I have 16GB of RAM, and have not had an issue with anything else thus far, but Sea Power IS a pretty huge and complex game

I cleared up some space on the C drive, set it to system managed and rebooted

Sea Power now works fine. All scenarios, even really big ones with carriers, work fine. Was able to load, exit, load, exit, load, exit, from several scenarios in turn today

As I said, the Devs may have more to add - and I welcome their input - but for anyone else having this issue, you may want to check if you've set your paging file size manually

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I had similar issues as you but I did a full uninstall and reinstall and now it rarely if ever crashes. I think it has something to do with the auto updates.

I think I may have found the fix: too-small manual paging file size
