To the folks with fatal errors:

[Teracroix]

Try deleting your old save files. I went in and found my save files folder was bigger than the game installation folder. I deleted all but the last 20 or so. This fixed my fatal error that was happening about 15 seconds after I loaded in.

another solution to the fatal error is to disable fullscreen optimization in the icon compatibility tab.

it happened in other unreal engine games too.

frame rate limit needs to be set to 60 on the first 2 floating cities dlc and 30 on the 3rd one
physics engine is connected to frame rate

so my fatal errors occur with frame rate at 60. so i just changed it to 120, which i think was the default. the fatal errors continue at 120, so fps changing hasn't helped me so far.

thanks though. i'll go back and give 30 a try, but i'm not optimistic.

Update: fps 30 failed for me, but read my post below on fixing this.

whoa....i fixed it! i tried setting Graphics to default and that didn't help one bit. and then i forget all those settings i now had to set changing back to Custom. so i'm giving a list of most of my settings that are now working for me. remember, it might not work for you, i have no idea. but my picture is nice and clear, my tools work, and i can proceed playing!

Here is what worked for me, and thanks to the person in another thread who suggested changing Display Mode to Windowed, cause that is one of my new working settings:

Graphics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Custom
Display Mode,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Windowed
Resolution,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1920x1080
Gamma ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,3.6
V-Sync,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Enabled
Max FPS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,60
XeSS (DirectX 12 Only),,,OFF
Post Processing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Epic
Effects,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,High
Physics Limit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Very HIgh
Motion Blur,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OFF

so far i have not had a fatal error using the above. remember, i'm not suggesting that's going to work for anybody else, but if you just get fatal errors and can't play, i hope this works for you. i'm guessing the major changes i made are the Display Mode to windowed, XeSS (Direct X 12) to OFF, Physics limit to Very High, and Motion Blur to OFF were important if not critical. but i'm just guessing.

Hoping to not jinx it but having deleted most of my saves this seems to have done the job on fatal errors. Thx.

that will be my next try if necessary, but so far this is still working for fatal errors. only problem is....i still have the issue of falling thru solid surfaces down to the ship's bottom. this happens after i have played a session for an hour or so. so maybe i'll try your suggestion about the saves.
thanks!
