#

ive gotten so fed up of it just refusing to work i just straight up uninstalled the game

#

wont play it till i get a fix, either that or ima refund this

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

oh my i also mention this game has been forcing me to restart my entire PC because it randomly locks up COMPLETELY
all functions dont work when it happens
windows goes completely dead and forces me to shut down my pc with the power button and completely reboot windows
can you devs like, fix your buggy mess of a game?

#

it's possible that you may have low PC specs

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 3:40 PM

#

fervent rampart oh my i also mention this game has been forcing me to restart my entire PC becau...

Does your computer meet minimum specifications to run the program as described in the Steam store page of SpaceEngine?

#

I would have asked you to share your log from the program to try and have some significant clue about your issue, but that's a moot point now.

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

i have a 1660 super and an I5 and the game normally runs fine

#

idk how thats considered low specs when it usually runs at 60fps on ultra settings with low warp and black hole quality

#

its just the fact that it suddenly completely LOCKS up my whole PC and forces me to power off my computer and restart it that i find extremely Annoying

#

it happens without warning and in the middle of setting up photos, its irritating as hell because it takes 5 minutes to restart my PC boot up windows, launch steam and restart the game

#

yeah i got a 1660 Super GPU, I5-10600K 4.10GHZ cpu and 32 gigs of ram

#

should be MORE than enough to run the game on ultra settings

#

i dont have a shit PC, i just dont understand the whole entire PC lockup thing

#

it sucks because since the minute i bought this game ive loved it, and absolutely hated it for the amount of frustration i have learning everything and troubleshooting constant buggyness (like the graphic settins being reset after each relaunch of the game)

#

cant get a refund now so i got no choice but to keep it for photo making

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

If this is your hardware, then it's within recommended parameters. Can you please upload your se.log file, so we can assess if there are clues about your issue?
It's in your SpaceEngine system folder

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 9:50 PM

#

gotta recreate the issue again so ima get the game reinstalled onto my SSD this time and see if that causes the same problem again

#

idk how SE reacts to HDD or SSD

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:35 PM

#

obviously an SSD is better, but SE doesn't really care about that hardware difference.

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

yeah so far not having that lockup, i think it usually happens when i set all the settings to max for a photo than continue to torture my PC with lag to get the shot

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

We have more or less the same hardware configuration. 1660 super with 6gb VRAM is not enough for ultra settings

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

weird cuz my game is running fine with small lag spikes

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

set your quality settings to high, after that set again to custom, so you can play with some settings on ultra.
if you look at the log, you'll see warnings by the program regarding not enough Video RAM for requested textures on planets

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:48 PM

#

maybe ive bee abusing my PC and not even realizing it lmfao

#

cuz the game ran fine maxed out till it died lmao

#

GOT THE PC LOCKUP AGAIN

#

and i noticed something

#

happens only when i look at a star cluster

#

second i saw it my whole PC locked up

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

can you share your se.log

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

boutta go dig for it

#

if steam decides to work first lol

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

that the pc locks, it's a bit weird

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

and it only happens when i look at a star cluster

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

I can understand SE crashing, but everything locked

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

whole PC, all of windows just suicides

#

its so bizzare

#

never happened when i had the pirated version years ago (i was trying to see what the game was like before i bought it)

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

well different version anyway

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

and that version was like

#

old SE

#

kinda fun to play with ngl the old version, feels like a piece of history lol

#

God i remember all the times i struggled to figure out how to warp than i relaized its automated with a button lmao, second i discovered that i waited till my bday to buy the whole thing

#

alr finding the log

#

LMAO it is a vram thing

#

📎 se.log

#

i think its me setting the ring quality and planet quality to 8k

#

lmao

#

envmaps in particular i guess

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

yep WARNING: seMemoryManager::UpdateAvailableVRAM(): Not enough available video memory

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

what im confused about, is why a star cluster causes my whole PC to shit itself lmao

#

jeez the envmaps where hogging ALL of it

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

is it a particular cluster? yes, keep graphics quality to custom and envmap to 1024

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

pretty much any cluster i guess, its usually when i see one and start heading towards it

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

it doesn't seem to record a cluster, are you selecting it to go there?

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

it happened really fast tbh, i saw the cluster, turned my speed enough to get close to it, than about a second in my pc just DEATH

#

makes sense tho im hogging all the vram and not even realizing it

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

so yu were simply moving around with the camera

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

yeah pretty much, and i think the star cluster overloaded my GPU just by getting close to it

#

my theory at least

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

if I may, try and keep graphics drivers up-to-date

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

oh speaking of i dont even know how dated mine are one moment

#

good point tho i havent updated since january LMAO

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

you have 536, now there are 546

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

alr im updating the drivers

#

keep forgetting that they always get updated all the time

shy linden Dec 15, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

there were issues with some drivers previously, but in general it's better to keep them updated.

#

For SE I mean

fervent rampart Dec 15, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

yeah and i think the pc lockup thing is tied directly to my Vram

#

i just scared tf outta myself cuz my screen went black and i thought the drivers where still installing so i just waited 5 minutes and restarted

#

should be good now

fervent rampart Dec 16, 2023, 1:47 AM

#

now my game keeps crashing at random when exploring

#

📎 se.log

#

doesnt even give me warning im playing than suddenly back to desktop

#

its happened at least 20 times now

#

didnt even let me load the game it crashed on the main menu

📎 se.log

#

i cant even play now it crashes on the main menu CONSTANTLY

#

i cant play anymore ive cleared the cache and it still crashes on startup

#

what the hell is going on now?

#

it was fine untill now

#

"2 files failed to validate"

#

i just verified game integrity

#

what the fuck causes that?

#

@shy linden

#

game wont work anymore

#

loads up the main menu and instantly crashes now

#

ive reinstalled the game and still get the same problem

#

everything was fine till now

#

now its unplayable and im getting absolutely pissed off

#

2nd time ive had to reinstall the fucking game

#

im getting sick of the constant issues

#

seems the only fix for instantly crashing to desktop on startup is a full reinstall of the game

#

which absolutely infuriates me
