Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
So I play Surviving Mars for a long time now, and this never happened to me.
Basically I experienced a sudden freeze, where:
- The sim stops
- I can no longer interact with anything on-screen
- Nor quit the game (only kill the process)
- Visual animations and music keep playing though.
First time it happened I reloaded the save, then the game entirely, and it kept happening, around the same Sol but not exactly at the same moment. I loaded an older save, kept playing, and there I passed the date where the freeze occurred without issue.
Then it occurred again, quite later in IG time. Unfortunately I do not have a sufficiently old-but-not-too-much save to retry from, and even if I had one I've lost confidence in the fact that it won't happen again soon, so I decided to give up but give a bug report a shot.
I noticed two things :
- The first time it happened I had a pipe leaking from a dust devil, and it kept freezing when I reloaded the autosave with that thing, but it didn't happen when I managed to save that save.
- The second time it was during a dust storms, so with a lot a pipe leaking. However on my last attempt I tried to delete any pipe that started leaking, but the game still crashed -- at a moment where no pipe was leaking, so it may be a false lead.
There's nothing abnormal in the logs. As nothing is logged when it freezes I had to load the game and quit to have info printed out in the file.
The freeze occurs both on Linux and Windows.
Unfortunately I have lots of mods and no way to load the save without them, sorry for that.
Can you replicate the issue?
