Crash upon exiting ship since last patch.
Hi all --- i have played NMS for years and this is a first for me. ever since the last patch, when i exit my ship, my game freezes and then crashes.

yes, i have done all of the obvious. windows update, drivers, verify integrity ... you know... all of the stuff that never has anything to do with any of this anyways =) but still crashes.

anyone else? i guess i can try a full re-install but i'm trying to avoid that as that never really ever fixes anything either.

Any Mods installed ?
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

I'd like to say Uninstall / Re-install (Uninstall + Delete all files associated to NMS in document and x86) then reinstall.

I used to crash a lot on my old PC, New one zero issues. It could be an issue with settings you're trying to run / Insufficient Processing & VRAM available.

And me. There were several bugs introduced with this version. The two most annoying are, for me: random crashes, sometimes but not consistently, when I jump to another base and; very often, total loss of all items in the freighter refiner when I leave/return to the ship (previously there were sometimes losses, but not often). I have reported the latter to the NMS team, but I got a bland and automated reply with absolutely no advise or suggestion of if/when they would look into it.
PS, I have a new big, fast machine (far higher than the recommended specs on STEAM), with all the usual updates, and I had no problems (other than the occasional loss of good) until the latest update of NMS. I have run the steam file check which confirmed that all my files were there and correct.

This did not provide any helpful information
There should be a crash dump file
If you can upload your crash dunp file into a cloud, with permission to download it, I´ll look into it
it should be in :
C:\Users\YOUR_ID\AppData\Local\Temp
(it will be called something like
NMS_crash_xxxxxxxxxx_NMSVersion_0xCrashcode_SteamID.dmp

thanks all for the feedback. the event viewer isn't all that informative really:

The program NMS.exe version 55161.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

several google searches yield no results except for a bunch of people complaining of the same issue with no fix.

guess will put up with it until the next update? in hopes someone from NMS will see the issues.

i've just had it happen for the 4th time today randomly when i get out of my ship..
Never had it until today so no idea what's causing it.. It's clearly something in the game and not our systems.
I have no issues with other games doing it.

Sorry there was no crash dump file
If it does happen with Multiplayer enabled , disable it..
Sometimes it may happen if you on a certain planet..

This is happening annoying alot when exiting ground vehicles as well.
