#[0.0.7-0.0.9] Game freezes, seemingly at random, music continues playing

As per the title, the game freezes completely, seemingly at random; no amount of waiting solves this (or at least, 20 minutes of waiting did not).

Sometimes it seems like it occurs most often when switching which building is being placed, but this is not consistent and is probably not the root cause?

Ultra-low graphics settings

This seems similar to #1276269164947836948 message this issue, however, unlike in that post, a complete reinstall and wiping of the game folder did not fix the issue. This issue also occurs on all launch options (Vulkan, DX12, etc), and even when launching under Proton.

System info:
Kubuntu 24.04
6.8.0-41-generic (64-bit)
Wayland
i7-6700T CPU
Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 530

#

Oh, I should note that none of the troubleshooting launch options suggested in #linux-specific nor in #🔍troubleshooting worked

Confirming that the issue still occurs on the 0.0.8 beta

[0.0.7 and 0.0.8] Game freezes, seemingly at random, music continues playing

I have the same issue.
System Info :
Linux Mint 21.3

X11

Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620

The troubleshooting notion page states that :

Hardware Issues
Various Intel iGPUs (integrated) from 500/600 series seem to crash either immediately, during load or after X minutes in-game (with all 3 graphics APIs). We’ve updated our Unity version for 0.0.8 (available as a beta branch on Steam) in hopes that this might be improved

But even with 8.0.0, it still crashes

#

All of which appear to be running on intel integrated graphics from 500 or 600 seires

#

which is listed as problematic but hopefully a resolution can be found

ok it seems that when it gets stuck when loading a save the main thread doesnt do anything but wait for the outer threads
mabey a deadlock?

#

it also still crashes for me on 0.0.8

wheat ember
#

also the gpu goes to 100% then to 0% a little after it frezzes

#

on DX 11 and 12 it crashes at this point

#

but on vulcan it just frezes

wheat ember
#

uh oh thats bad

#

and it was already crashing

#

why was it running when the crash handler was suppost to be handling it???

wheat ember
#

still happens and its very annoying

wheat ember
#

ok at this point its basicly unplayable

abstract linden
#

Is there

#

a

#

#

resolution for this?

Hi, we are looking into the issues of all players and may need some time to get through every ones posts.
Sorry for the delay in responding.

Since you say none of the launch options, and none of the troubleshooting steps work, can you confirm the directX drivers are up to date as well?

(there are some more here):

i tryed to update them from windows but it said they were up to date

wheat ember
#

oh yea the game also randomly crashes (like true crashes) right when it finishes loading the save and spikes the gpu to 100, crashes, back to 0 fresing the screen for a bit in the prosses

abstract linden
#

Interestingly, I no longer seem to be able to select a launch option for shapez

#

no option here

#

Launch does not provide a selector either

#

And it seems to default to vulkan

Also, I seem to have a different? but similar crash occuring on vulkan, which occurs consistently on loading a save, resulting in a wheel that spins for a while then stops spinning, and then the same crash as mentioned at the beginning of this thread

They are not usually, no

#

Some distros may set things up that way, but not most

abstract linden
#

How would one check the status of said vulkan drivers?

wheat ember
#

when it doesnt randomly frese instead

#

and im on windows

abstract linden

#

using drect x 12 lets me get in like 20% of the time

abstract linden
wheat ember
#

vulcan and drect x 11 dont let me play the game at all and crash/frezze when loading the menu/a save

abstract linden
#

though in a bit I will see if the freeze crash this thread was made for is still occuring

#

unfortunately the crash is definitely still occuring

# abstract linden my player.log

Not sure if the analytics runs in a separate thread of something, but even after the game itself completely freezes, my Player.log still lets me know that
