Game crashes on start-up? Please read

[76561198344313774]

Hello Mechanics!

We have received reports that some of you experience a game crash when starting up the game;
The screen goes black, you see the Axolot Logo, and then it crashes.

This issue seems to be caused by a faulty game update, and should be resolved by re-installing the game.

You can also try to "Verify integrity of game cache" via Steam.
To do this, right click Scrap Mechanic in your games library, select "Properties", go to the "Local Files"-tab, and click "Verify integrity of game cache".

Secondly,
if you navigate to "../Steam/steamapps/common/Scrap Mechanic/Data/Gui/Language" and find a folder named "DE-de.txt", please delete it.

We believe there's an issue with Steam and updating the game for some users.
While we look into this further, this works as a solution.

Please let us know here if your issue was resolved - or persists.

Thank you for your reports, and happy holidays!

Sadly game got unplayable for me since the last update. I did as told, reinstalled the game, but didn't do anything.
I can open my world and play for like 2 minutes, then it freezes for 10 seconds, on any random action like painting, building, open a crate, sometimes even just turning around (turned around to the ocean once, ocean was loaded without the water). After that first freeze i have 10-15 seconds left before it freezes again... forever. last few times i couldn't even open the task manager and had to cold restart my computer.
really like the game and hope for a fix soon. maybe even a few performance/LOD improvments (do i really need to see how a water bottle gets pumped through a glas tube on a maybe 200 meter distance in the absolute lowest graphics settings?) [/quote
try vysnc on

i believe the game has become unplayable in the last update

in a quick look through my newest game session log i found several errors:
{
23:01:13 (1) ERROR:

}

There are also further errors in previous game sessions (maybe fixed):
{
[Lua] ERROR: On 'client_onCollision': [string "Scripts/game/interactables/SawBlade.lua"]:18:
attempt to compare nil with number

\Jenkins\workspace\sm\ContraptionCommon\LuaManager.cpp:1539 Lua call buffer - failed to
call callback 'client_onCollision'

Z:\Jenkins\workspace\sm\ScrapMechanic\LoadState.cpp:116 Load failed
}

these errors appear to be the result of a range of weird things such as missing files, comparing strings with integers, weird file paths and other deep errors.
furthermore, some of these errors occur various times in a loop.

Ultimately the current version of my copy of SM, system crashes about 2mins into a survival game, like, the whole PC freezes and shuts down.
I have reinstalled and verified the game many times.

pls fix!
hope the logs help you axolot!

P.S - great game, wanna play! but too scared to edit the code

Crash on startup.

[Foca - CORSAIR BR]

Tried to do everything. Keep crashing on start up!

[Neit]

Hello.
the game starts well, it loads and then comes the moment when I choose the game mode I want to play and they work, except for survival. when I click on the "survival" button the image freezes and closes and then comes a window called "bugsplat" that tells me, quite simply, THAT MY GAME HAS CRASHED. I tried to re-install the game to "check all the game files" but it doesn't work. if anyone has an idea, please do.

[Sym]

REFUNDED.

[WM]

PLEASE!!! fix multiplayer lag issues, when i host my cousin has lag and when he host i have lag even in an empty world! And also when we press button it implements our commands like 1-2 second delayed. Please focus on this more than anything else because it is impossible to play with friends bcos of this problem. I've seen many people having the same issue since 2016 and waiting you to solve it to start playing the game with friends. (same thing happens both in creation mod and survival mod when with friends)

check firewall and antivirus.. they might have stopped a couple files..
if first time then a couple files need your permission to run for first time.
try again and then hit windows key when at black screen. then you should be able to go see what files is blocked since program is still running.

Wanna know what I did? Stopped playing. After 1200 hours of trying to figure out how to make many mods work (so I can be complex and make good creations) I realised I couldn't. Switched to Stormworks and honestly, I'm glad. I much prefer it because you don't need mods. It's all there. Computers, self driving, way better. Also, realistic boats, planes etc...

[Lackofcreativity]

there has to be a way, i mean i spent 20 bucks on this game just for it to crash on me even tho it works fine for my friends? there has to be a way
