1. [SPZ2-4812] — 👀 72% similar

Consistent crash on DX12 with submenu
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Game: 0.1.1 • Resolution: Won't Fix

The game consistently crashes to desktop when running on DirectX 12 with specific settings and a particular savegame. The crash is triggered by moving the cursor over the toolbar, specifically hovering between slot 1 (Conveyor Belt) and slot 2 (Rotator) repeatedly. The issue only occurs with Simplified Chinese language, 3840x2160 resolution, and vsync disabled. The crash does not happen when using DirectX 11 or Vulkan rendering backends. The log shows a UnityWebRequest initialization error at...

2. [SPZ2-2585] — 👀 68% similar

lowend Laptop does not launch on DX12 (crash)
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Done

shapez 2 fails to launch on low-end laptops when using Direct X 12, immediately crashing with a driver internal error (DXGIERRORDRIVERINTERNALERROR) during or after the first frame. The crash appears to be a panic in the DX12 driver within Unity and cannot be fixed without a Unity engine update. Direct X 11 and Vulkan work as alternatives, though DX11 occasionally crashes when returning to the main menu or in Space View. Players can use launch options to force Vulkan or DX11 as a workaround.

3. [SPZ2-3337] — 👀 65% similar

Freeze on knowledge panel
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Resolution: Won't Fix

The game experiences a hard lock or freeze when accessing the Codex. This freeze has occurred multiple times for the player. The player suspects this may be specific to PC systems running DirectX 12. The issue prevents the player from accessing the in-game knowledge panel. A log file has been provided for debugging.

4. [SPZ2-1987] — 👀 60% similar

Rare display crash condition
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: OLD Early Access • Resolution: Won't Fix

Player experienced a rare system crash after approximately 40 minutes of playtime where all displays went dark and sound output looped. The crash required a hard PC reboot via power button. A second occurrence happened at 2.2 hours of playtime with similar symptoms but game audio continued normally. The issue appears to be system-specific as it also occurs in other games like Victoria 3. Player attempted fixes including disabling fullscreen optimizations, updating graphics drivers, and switch...

5. [SPZ2-4759] — 👀 58% similar

Crash reported by user after new update
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

A player experiences repeated game crashes after updating to version 0.1.0. The crashes occur within minutes of starting a new Normal difficulty save, typically after completing one or two milestones. Log analysis reveals a SerializationJsonException when reading a blueprint file and NullReferenceException errors during deserialization. The issue appears to be caused by incompatibility between save files from version 0.0.8 and 0.1.0. The problem was resolved when the player deleted the old sa...

6. [SPZ2-2702] — 👀 55% similar

Crash when changing resolution
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Won't Fix

The game crashes when changing the resolution setting in the Graphics menu. The player navigates to Settings then Graphics, selects a different resolution, and the crash occurs. The Player.log shows a D3D12 profiler error related to GPU timing and memory address resolution failures. There are also errors about the menu Savegame being below the minimum supported version. This is identified as a DirectX 12 issue that cannot be fixed by the developers.
