Joining stuck in loading screen after GeForce Experience and Win 10 updates

[frutmaka]

Just yesterday SE was working fine. But after today's updates as mentioned the game won't let me join any server anymore. I'm stuck in the loading screen, after a moment the game sound can be heard (like "energy critical" lol) but the loading screen does not change into the game graphics. I removed and reinstalled the game, also I killed the ShaderCache2 folder from the AppData directory.

Does anyone have similar problems... or any idea?

Hi, a member was not able to start the game this week and he did all the important thing to do and at the end it was a corrupted NIVIDIA dll file and doing a proper cleanup (fresh installation)
>> uninstall and delete all Graphic Drivers files remaining before reinstalling fixed the problem.

I don't know if you have the same problem but if you did all the important = maybe time to try a fresh installation of the GPU Driver.

I still use the one that came with the DVD on my GTX 1050 Ti = 2017 Driver used and the only problem I have noticed is that I lose the mouse when I use Ansel screenshot editor, the last NVIDIA update fixes this bug.

OR

Share the game crash log with a SE programmer on the Support Portal, he may be able to help you!

All Testers report here > https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/general


EDIT

Share the game log file here, too so me and the Veterans can help.


How to :

3. post log file along with description, it can be found here: C:\Users\{YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\SpaceEngineers.log
or simply paste this into your Explorer:

The log file should be from the game session where you've encountered the bug. If you start the game again, the log will be overwritten.

I uninstalled the Nvidia software and video drivers, restartet the system and reinstalled GeForce Experience with all drivers - no change.

This is the log:

Game log file looks OK, well it the same as mine = all good in there.

The only difference I see is that all is installed on my C: Drive but it should work no problems when installed on another Hard Drive.

All good on your side so no need to uninstall again, it must be a Server problem, ask the admin for a server restart and he should be able to help.

Have you tried one of the Official Keen servers to see if it was the same over there?

[frutmaka]

I tried two officials and a third party server... the effect is always the same. And it started with the last Win 10 and/or GeForce update. I don't know what to do -.-

[Dan2D3D]

I will go try on my side, I play solo these days cause working on my next WS item :)

Be back in a few ....

[Dan2D3D]

Well, it's not looking good!

I am sending e report with crash log to Keen Team atm.

I got a CTD when I clicked on the "Join" button, I will go try again after reporting ... bbl

[Ancalagon]

I was able to join that server in 60 seconds.

Memory used in my game log file = GC Memory: 3,386,996,800 B

I really don't know what could be the problem, maybe a temp internet problem =

Maybe you should tell a SE programmer in a "Request for help" or by Email to the Support Portal.

i reinstalled the game and the game still run like ♥♥♥♥
so how long will it take to fix this game?

[frutmaka]

Hi Dan,

I tried and tried again yesterday and indeed was able to join a Keen sever after a while. But it was unplayable. The HUD did not load correctly, screen elements from the welcome screen didn't disappear. It all felt like runnig the game on a faaaar too old PC.

I checked the Win 10 updates and my guess - although I'm not a developer - is that

July 9, 2019-KB4506991 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 1903

might have caused those problems.

[Dan2D3D]

I just got the Windows update so I will go try on my side., be back later ...

Have you sent the game log file in a "Request for help" on the Support Portal?
