Game is great, but crashes randomly recently

[®oss]

I am really enjoying this game but unfortunately i am getting quite frequent crashes recently. I am using the built in large crew mod but i haven't gone too hugely over the max crew limit (its still less than double) and i would just expect that to just effect performance and not crash? This is the most common crash error i get and i have tried it with --cores 1 as well which seems to be a bit more stable but still does crash occasionally.

I have done a memory test to see if its a RAM issue but no problems were found (my PC is fairly new). It did seem to stop for a while after 0.24.3 patch (no crash for hours) but then started happening again every 10 minutes or so with 0.24.3a/0.24.3b although it could be unrelated to the version and just what was happening in my game. I have found it crashes in empty systems as well as full ones so i don't think its an entity count issue if that helps.
Let me know if there is any more info i can provide. Thanks.

Try verifying your file integrity through steam?

Verification didn't raise any issues and i still get the same crash after it.

This is a crash I've seen reported before but historically it has been super rare, which makes it really hard to track down and fix. The fact that you seem to be getting it frequently is pretty interesting and potentially helpful. If you have a saved game that's getting this crash frequently, please send it to us!

Thanks, yeah i can send you the save file. How do i do that? Is there an email i can send you a private link as i don't want to post it publicly?

[CptnRedstone]

The simplest way is to use the ingame feedback tool by pressing F11.

I have tried a few saved games and it keeps saying "There was an error sending the feedback". The saved files are quite large (48MB which is far larger than the first save) so i am not sure if i just have too large a save? Is there another way i can send it to you?

Also i dont know if this is relevant to the bug but i often get an error loading a saved game about a key already existing. It is fine when i press continue instead of load save though which is a bit strange:

Maybe my save is just corrupted, but it would be nice to know what caused it so i can avoid it in a second play through

[Walt Destler]

If you send me the save file I can look into it and possible even fix it.

(You can email it directly to him at [e-mail])
