Loading mods crashes/restarts my computer

[Derk]

As the title says, i just got this game and was testing out workshop mods in singleplayer. the small mods like card games load fine but when it comes to the bigger boardgames with models and etc my computer just outright restarts. i hope someone can help, i really this game so far. Thanks in advance

Specs:

i5-4670 3.40GH8
8gigs of ram
AMD 7870 2gb
Windows 10 64 bit

PS.- i forgot to mention in case this information can help: the mods get to about 60 or 70% loaded before it crashes

PPS- i also tried lowering all my settings and ran the game in admin and windowed mode.. still crashed

Have you tried disabling threaded mod loading? From the main menu, open the "Configuration" and uncheck the "threading" box at the bottom.

I tried unchecking the threading box like you suggested and the mods actually loading( i tested a couple mods) and i was thrilled... then it crashed a little after

So, it still didn't finish loading the mods that were giving you problems? Or did it crash after loading?

it loaded then i moved around a bit then it crashed. I tried the xwing boardgame, battlestar galactica and some random mod that added random objects on the table like a bag of chips, cans of coke , some mountain dew and a picture of hulk hogan etc.

most of the mods i tried also showed this popup http://i.imgur.com/2MDavFZ.png I don't know if thats related

PS- I tried loading cards against humanity and Uno and those seemed to work fine. I forgot to mention but i also jumped in a server with a friend(he hosted) ealier and he loaded up DND and other tabletops and i didnt have any crashes or issues when we were just effin around for a good hour

Sorry, I don't know what's causing any system instability like that. That pop-up shows whenever a texture or model is having problems downloading ... but it doesn't cause crashing.

From the sound of it, it sounds like you are running into memory related issues. Loading a large number of models or cards can cause the program's RAM usage to increase a great deal. Once the program passes a certain memory usage (around 3 GB depending upon your setup), it's not uncommon for it to crash. If there's just a particular mod that causes crashing on loading, the next thing to try changing is to uncheck "Full Size Textures". (From the Configuration menu, you can find it on the Graphics tab.)

I still have no clue how it forces your computer to restart ... that should never happen.

I already tried that "uncheck "Full Size Textures" " and it was still crashing.
Also, a bit of an update(could be related could be not). I recently joined a public multiplayer lobby that had 3 other people working on a jigsaw puzzle. I joined and played with them for about an hour with no issues then suddenly crashed/restarted. Could be a memory leak or something, idk how to fix it though. I'm not very tech savy. Maybe i could provide some crashlogs to the developer? I don't know how to go about that but would be willing to figure it out if they want it.

Yeah, it sounds like it might be something more along those lines. Hopefully one of the mods will chime in and be able to help you (or at least be able to tell you what they need to do so).
