Surviving Mars - Game crashed! >_<

[SpaceBoy Matt]

Description
Game crashed! >_<


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
1001586

Do you have Space Race installed?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Game crashes after Sol 170. Please tell me how to fix. My colony is doing so well! >_<

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes, the game has crashed multiple times. I even load a previous save game file and try again but it ultimately crashes again and again. I'm on Sol 170 so my colony is very complex.

Ooops!

Sorry, I DO have the "DLC - Space Race" installed for this game.

I have not seen that error before, it really looks like a bad installation rather than a game bug.

But you are saying this only happens in one particular colony, is that right? Any mods used in it?

 

[SpaceBoy Matt]

I have some mods that were downloaded from Steam but I had them all deactivated for the colony I was running. Looks like I'll have to do a fresh install with no mods and start up a new colony to see for sure. :-(

Here's my process for that:

- move any valued save games elsewhere; they are under
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\{large number}\
- "uninstall" in Steam-Surviving Mars
- unsubscribe from all mods in the Steam Workshop for this game
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Surviving Mars AND C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\ folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add MarsSteam.exe to the exceptions list/whitelist of your antivirus app
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam SM or AppData SM locations, before installing again.
