Constantly crashing today, game unplayable

[Wintermist]

Not sure what's changed, but I can't stay in game for more than a few minutes without the Unreal process crashing with a memory access error.

[AstroColony]

Yes, it was left open. Please get the latest hotfix build.

It wont crash every 30 miniutes or something but when i try to open the mod menu with "H" it says "Fatal Error" and then crashes.

[AstroColony]

Do you have any mods installed? Maybe they are not compatible anymore.
Try to remove mods directory GameDir/AstroColony/Mods

[Half life 2 Rebel Medic]

I just have the Cheat Console, but whats weirder is one time it opened then crashed when i selected cheat console, i re installed it and it diddnt work.



EDIT: I verified files and apperently two files were not correct so they were reinstalled,
so if you keep crashing try going to properties then files and select verifiy integerty of files.

[AstroColony]

I will check all mods to see if they are still compatible.
There were major changes in the codebase, so I expect many mods won't work or even cause crashes.

I get a generic error when the app opens. I make it to the menu and then get a dialog with "FATAL ERROR! UE4-AstroColony will close" and no details.

Looking at the thread above, I've moved everything from the MODS folder to another location to disable them. No change.

I've tried the standard Steam troubleshooting of verify and reacquire game files, but it finds nothing wrong.

This is the log data it automatically copied to my clipboard.

Fatal error!

try verifying the files or re-installing.

[AstroColony]

It's the same issue MSVCP140, you need to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

[Half life 2 Rebel Medic]

I found a fix to the cheat console mod, you have to down load it manualy.

Thanks! That seems to have fixed the issue for me anyway. :)

I FIXED THE CHEAT CONSOLE CRASHING!!!

when its installed it also has a UPLUGIN file, and in that i noticed the object Variable "Instaled" was set to false

this is the copy i got of it

{
	"FileVersion": 3,
	"Version": 1,
	"VersionName": "1.0",
	"FriendlyName": "CheatConsole",
	"Description": "Provides a way to change gameplay values, add resources, unlock technologies, create objects",
	"Category": "UGC",
	"CreatedBy": "Tefel",
	"CreatedByURL": "https://www.youtube.com/UnrealTefel",
	"DocsURL": "",
	"MarketplaceURL": "",
	"SupportURL": "",
	"CanContainContent": true,
	"IsBetaVersion": false,
	"IsExperimentalVersion": false,
	"Installed": false
}

Changing Installed to true fixed the crash for me!

[AstroColony]

There are two things that can crash. If you have mods from the past that are no longer compatible. You need to remove Mods/ directory.
Another is related to the Microsoft Redistributables update, so you need to reinstall it.

[Half life 2 Rebel Medic]

I did reinstall but when it installs the object variable "Installed" defaults to false, and from what i have found. only cheat sheet does this.
