Game crashing all of a sudden

[Excalibrrr]

My brother hosts a server that we have been playing on for weeks, and now suddenly I can't join and get the message that my video card is overheated. It's not. From what I've read, this issue goes back at least to 2019. Is it safe to assume that Keen is going to do nothing about it, since it's already been three years of this issue? If anyone has a way to get it working, I would appreciate. The developers obviously aren't going to do anything about it, so I guess it's up to us. Great job Keen.

And yes, I've already done the basic things that every idiot knows how to do (verify file integrity, delete shader chache, etc.)

Open Windows Task Manager (right-click on the toolbar and find it in the submenu) and watch your memory usage as you connect. This false overheating message is a common symptom of lack of memory or other system resources. If you've been busy in this world for weeks and it has not been checked or cleaned there could be a lot of junk making the world data too large to load comfortably on your system.

Hi, it's the same error message for a lot of different crashes, I got the same earlier testing a Modded world and it was not my graphic card overheating but a Mod problem.

I can tell they fixed a lot of different crashes since 7 years and the best is to share the crash log here to have Veteran players help + send it directly to the SE programmers so they can chat with you if needed.

Share more clues about the world you try to join, for players reading :

1 - What is the world used?
2 - What is in that world?
3 - Second PC at home that runs the SE Dedic or Friends mode world?
4 - Safe mode or experimental?
5 - Is it the same in a new created No Mods world?

Thank you for the replies guys. I regret coming at the issue like a ♥♥♥♥, but since we are already here I will try reporting the issue as you said. Here is some of the information that I can provide:

1 - The world used is "Star System"
2 - There is the earth-like planet, and in the distance I can see a red planet and another one I think (we havent got too far from the earth planet yet). We have built a station in space and one on land, and also several vehicles.
3 - We are actually in seperate houses, joining using the "Friends" filter. I'm able to see his game and go through the loading process, but as soon as it's done loading the game crashes to desktop. It only started doing this 2 days ago.
4 - He is hosting a safe mode server, no mods or anything. Just all vanilla. I should note that he is able to load into it without a problem, and I can start a single player file and join other servers. The only thing I cant do is join his server, as far as I can tell.

I logged out in a cryo chamber too, if that makes any difference. He says that he can still see my character in the cryo chamber.

I'm sorry for being angry with my initial post, so thank you for replying in a more mature manner.

I took a look at my crash log, and I see these errors:
"Error: Cannot load MWM track Models\Characters\Animations\weapon_lean_up.mwm"

"2021-04-29 21:20:56.362 - Thread: 1 -> ERROR: Camera entity from checkpoint does not exists"

May just be a temp Steam down problem, well if it was working before.

You seem to be playing in the "Star System" world with all planets in, and I would try in a new created Asteroid only world to see if could be a world problem (first clue).

[Excalibrrr]

I actually just got it to work after all this time. The solution was very simple, but looking at the crash logs gave me an idea. I asked him to grind down the cryo chamber I had logged out in and remove it completely. That worked, and now I can join again. I appreciate the help very much though.

[Dan2D3D]

Great! Good move and thanks for sharing cause may be needed for other members having similar problem

I will add your last post as the solution.

[Excalibrrr]

He actually removed the medical room by mistake apparently, and not the cryo chamber. I'm not sure why that worked, but I just wanted to follow up in case it helps other players.

[Dan2D3D]

the Medic Room ?? well if it worked :)


I disable the auto-respawn when I play in friends mode so my friend can leave anytime and respawn at the shared Medic Rooms/Survival Kits when reconnecting.

[Excalibrrr]

Oh okay cool, I didnt know about that. I'll try it out for myself because it sounds like a good idea

[Dan2D3D]

When I start new I usually set my survival Kit to "Share with all" in dropship terminal, tell my friend to connect, he will see my Survial Kit in the respawn screen and be able to respawn where I am.

once both in I create Faction and let my friend join in so we can share all.
+
All new Medic Rooms build will show available to spawn at in the respawn screen.

When the auto-respawn is Off
= Can use the Medic Rooms and Survival Kits as "Transport system".

[Excalibrrr]

Oooh that's how to do that. I was actually a little bit confused about respawning because I was worried it might send me some place across the solar system lol
