Hi, you may be using not compatible Mods (not up to date) or conflicting Mods that can't run with other Mods, it's important to test one Mod at a time in testing worlds before adding to our Favorite saves.

The Mods you use all load OK when alone in new created world ?

[deadscion]

I have used the same mod list for the last 5 months, without trouble. Steam did an update sometime last night which left me with a lot of crashes and mod.io errors.
I have since, completely purged Steam and space Engineers, before a complete reinstall.
I have no appreciation for a botched update.

I don't play with Mods these days so not sure on how it goes but I know it is a Must to Retest all Mods one at a time in new created world after all updates.

Troubleshooting comes with Mods and that will keep on till they stop changing the game.

You may follow the steps we all do after a game update to find the mods that needs to be removed and reported but keep in mind removing a Mod can break the save file at a point of no return = popup message saying the world is corrupted.

How to test a world or find broken/conflicting Mods :

1 - Select your save.
2 - Click the "Save as" button on the left.
3 - Change the save name to create a *copy.
4 - Withdraw or add one Mod at a time in the copy.

5 - Report to the Mod author (on WS item page) when broken Mod found so he can fix/update his Mod, always very kind to let them know.

*copy
Never test with your original save, better create a copy and fix the original save when solution found in the copy, this way you will not mess up your save.

My world was not broken, my mods were not broken, your update was broken. After the purge and reinstall the SAME mod list worked just fine in a new custom game. I know you mean well, but your generic responses do NOT help.

Looks like you don't know me so I must specify :

I am not a SE Dev but forum Moderator community helper/game tester and I help the SE community since 2013 because it's my Favorite Sandbox game on Steam.

-> I collect the most talked about every months to send to the SE team and they gave me the [Dev] Tag so I can be admin of the Workshop to help more.

Nothing in Space Engineers has been updated since the last update on May 23rd. If there was an update it was the Steam Client, which gets updated every few days without any notice or any easily located and viewed change list... or in your mods. You're pointing at the wrong thing to complain about.

My son likes to play with a lot of Mods and I had to fix our Modded world on every game updates but we never had to reinstall the game.

= Mod problems is not something new, and like I said earlier -> Troubleshooting comes with Mods, sadly.

as someone else already pointed out, steam didn't update the game at all for a while now.

if steam updates one of your games like this it means it found a corrupt file and tried to fix it.

which means the problem is on your end, and you're being rude to someone who tried to help you.

to clarify: the last update for this game was in the second week of may.

the game did not update last night, your computer had corrupted files and steam tried to fix it, and THEN you started the game and had problems because said corruption most likely broke your game.

Ubuntu 24.04 Linux has Steam being kept up to date by Cononical. There was an update last night by somebody different then your Windows O.S.
If I was rude I apologize. However, The botched update was the trouble. Linux seldom has corrupt files like your Windows O.S. , which still requires an occasional Defrag.

For what it's worth, I am on Windows 10 and I too have recently had some mods that used to work just fine, not loading anymore:
Milky Way Skybox
Advanced Systems Scaffolding
Automatic Ore Pickup
Alien Semiotics
Interior Door
Just about ANY mod with the (DX11) tag.
None of these mods are 'game breakers', the saves themselves load and seem to function just fine, as far as game play goes.
ALL of these mods have worked flawlessly in my world saves for several years, until recently that is. The mods also will no longer load in ANY of my previously saved worlds.
Something HAS changed with Space Engineers, but I'm no developer or programmer, so I couldn't begin to tell you what.
I think that the OP may have a legit gripe here, but I do agree, there's no reason to be rude about it, sh*t happens, either roll with it or roll in it, the choice is yours.

never had a problem with this on both my OS like i said it's got nothing to do with an update, my hypothesis for you is if you use an SSD note that they have a lifespan from writing to the drive and will often not recognize files that become affected by the corruption which can lead to instability, which will cause steam to update.

like i said, steam didn't update the game yesterday, you had a corrupt file is all.

Fundamentally, the OP was complaining about the game, but the problem was not with the game at all, the problem was related to the linux framework they have the game wrapped in, and/or the mods in use within that subsystem, so they need to go look at that and find the resolution elsewhere. There are other places to discuss linux and mod related issues.

[deadscion]

Shaken_Widow is just plain wrong, I don't use an SSD but Rox makes good sense and has most likely pointed out the main cause. Either way, the problem got fixed so I am done here.
Thanks for the discussion.
