Quite crashy these days

[Xenomorph]

Since the Omega update, the game has really been quite crashy. Most seem to happen when doing inventory stuff, but they also happen randomly in other circumstances. One thing to notice is, when the game crashes, it displays a past frame.
This looks like something approximate to the behavior of alt-tabbing that's been happening for a long time, where i get shown a past frame, with severe FPS drops but without the crashes.
Memory leak?

No error code if it crashes ?

You may have a look into your windows Event Viewer for more Info about that crash.

WINKey+R opens RUN, here type eventvwr.exe

Here expand Windows Logs and look under Application for warnings with a Timestamp of that crash.

Copy&Paste the details here, so we can check it

Looks like a good plan

We can skip the minutia. The latter happened 31 seconds after the first.
I'm not posting this for help, just posting it for awareness :)

makes no sense ---
Any MOD´s installed ?
Which GPU and whats the driver version ?

Is there a crash dump file in :
C:\Users\YOUR_ID\AppData\Local\Temp
(it will be called something like
NMS_crash_xxxxxxxxxx_NMSVersion_0xCrashcode_SteamID.dmp

I'm also getting random hangs, twice today, and have sent crash logs to HG. Each time the whole PC freezes, I get the windows busy mouse pointer, but cannot move the mouse, alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del to the task manager.

After a while I get a windows bong but still can't do anything. If I wait a minute or so I can then alt-tab and kill the game from the task bar. Doing so leaves the windows desktop washed out. Suspect a memory leak as it takes a while to crash and will do so if the game is left running with me not moving.

Same for you :

No mods, Nvidia 6gb 1060 (its old - it works) and I get 60-80fps on planet and in the new stations with most of the settings on ultra. In space its close to 90fps. As mentioned in my previous post I sent both crash dumps to HG so I hope they will be able to see the issue.

I had a look in the Windows event viewer and only one error for NMS is registered which says its a cross-thread deadlock. There are no warnings and only the second crash has been logged, there is no log for the 1st. So a deadlock, that would explain the hang, one thread was waiting for another, which was waiting for the 1st.

You may want to wait for a response of HG ... but if you upload that crash dump file into a cloud with permission to download it... I may check it

I had my first crash in a looooong time and it was when I started fighting a pirate carrier.

I get a few crashes from time to time and almost-crashes, which turn the game into a lagfest, basically every hour or so. The latter seems to be a general issue on many systems.

Just crashed twice on the same planet.
If you can translate this into something I can understand, I'd be really happy:

That could be a windowws issue.
But it could be also the planet ... Is Multiplayer disabled ?

An Error token would maybe give more info..
Is there a crash dump file in :
C:\Users\YOUR_ID\AppData\Local\Temp
(it will be called something like
NMS_crash_xxxxxxxxxx_NMSVersion_0xCrashcode_SteamID.dmp

[esturias]

Yes, I guess it's a broken planet somehow, because it happened right again after reloading.

I fount the .dmp file. and even tried to read it with "bluescreenview", but it can't open the file.
Will try again later.

[Musashi]

If you upload it into a cloud with permission to download it ,,, I may have a look into it
