Game running out of memory to save

[Poomplex]

When I go to say I have the error of "World 'Star System' failed to save. This can be caused by running our of memory or problems when writing files. working on this world may result in loss of progress. You can check log file to find out more...

Hi, share more clues about the world :

1 - How old it is?
2 - What is the world used?
3 - What is in that world, Mods in?

[Poomplex]

-Fresh World
-Star System
-4 mods, did try without any mods and was getting same error

[Dan2D3D]

Ok, so it is the same when you create a new No Mods wolrd.


Do this :

Try #1 + #2 + #3 in the Forum Workaround(s) thread first :

https://steamcommunity.com/app/244850/discussions/0/2440336020748966737/

+

Create a completely new No Mods world and tell me if it is the same.

Alright tried to do that and still has the same problem, noticed that the problem only occurred after the field engineer update.

Share the log file, a Veteran player may see something wrong in there.


How to share the complete game log on Steam :

The game log can be found here:
C:\Users\{YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\SpaceEngineers.log

or simply hit the Windows key + R + type in :
%appdata%\SpaceEngineers

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.
post log file to www.pastebin.com and add the link here.


game log look like this now, with date on :

>> SpaceEngineers_20210418_213907114.log <<

I think it was something to do with my registry somehow. i recently messed around with a keyboard key blocker for web gaming. this changed my registry permanently and it messed my cortana inputting somehow, this is post SE problems. I re installed windows and it works fine.... loving the new drilling update with auto collection, makes start up x1000 fluent!!!!.

Thank you for all your help but now all is good.

Isnt saving meaning saving to disk? So how would how much memory he has matter, the question is do you have enough space on your disk to save?

[Poomplex]

16gb ram 500gb free on drive

Here is the link to the log.

Have you performed validation of game files?

Another thing that I doubt is the problem but may as well ask, does Windows have the privileges to write to the SpaceEngineers save folder?

[Dan2D3D]

In log I see :

only 8gb of free space on the C: Drive while Saves and Blueprints are saved over there.

= I have about 60 Gb of SE Saves + Blueprints in there so I recommend more than 8gb.
-> Also need free space for WIndows internet Temp files + Memory...

______

Crash =

Exception occurred: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Sandbox.Game.World.MySession.<>c__DisplayClass615_1.<GatherVicinityInformation>b__0()

OnSnapshotDone: failed to save the world at System.Environment.GetStackTrace(Exception e, Boolean needFileInfo)

________

To test :

1 - Try by making more available space on your C: Drive

2 - Go create a new No Mods Star System world, load it and try to save.

[Poomplex]

So I made space, now i have 363GB free still got the error

[Dan2D3D]

So even can't save a new created no Mods world after doing all the important for the game to run properly

Try a fresh installation of the game and contact the SE programmers if still can't find a solution.

_____________

Fresh install =

1 - Backup Saves and Blueprints, copy/paste to USB storage key or else.
Saves and Blueprints are here :
Hit the Windows key + R and type in : %appdata%\SpaceEngineers
Go to the SpaceEngineers folder
C: users / your username / appdata / roaming / spaceengineers

2 - Uninstall the game with Steam.
3 - Delete all remaining SE folders/files in the Steam folder.
4 - Delete all remaining SE folders/files in the appdata SE on your C: Drive.
5 - Restart PC.
6 - Install SE.
