#Textures not loading/black textures despite vanilla. Crashing too.

Heyo, for about 3-4 years now I have had a critical issue with Space Engine’s textures and stability. Across 2 computers as well (they had different hard drives and OS’s but the files were copied over). The issue is progressive in-game. Everything is fine for around 5-7 minutes until textures start to take forever to load in, until they just become permanently blurry…. Well until the textures don’t load at all and every object turns into black spheres. Then it would usually crash a minute or two later. In 2020-21 ish when it first started to crash I made a bug report here, but at the time, this bug known, but unresolved, since the ability to reproduce it was not known on other machines other than the problematic ones.
The first PC was AMD graphics (rx580 iirc) Win10 and intel i5.
The second PC was Nvidia graphics (3070) Win11 and intel i9
Both 16gb of RAM
I have reinstalled the game many times, along with lots of file verifications. Component drivers are up to date and so is Win11.
I tried to find a screenshot of the crash report in Event Viewer, but was unable to. I will attempt to get one later this week and post an update here as soon as possible. (Am away atm) I will also include se.log(s), versions and any other necessary information.
For anyone who remembers or experienced/experiences this issue, what are your thoughts and experiences? Any possible fixes or breakthroughs that have popped up since 2021?

Cheers!

se.log as promised

#

I hope this can finally be resolved

#

Also, idk if this is related, but when I click Exit to leave the game from main menu, the software freezes for a few minutes then seems to crash instead of properly close
