Occasional crashes direct to desktop // random // no clear indicator


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
1008033

What DLC do you have installed?
Space Race, Green Planet, Below and Beyond, Stellaris Dome Set, Colony Design Set, Project Laika, In-Dome Buildings Pack

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Totally (to me at least) random crashes with no real cause. I can't disable mods, as I used them pretty freely and my current play depends on them, so it's hard to switch them off and test it.

In the crash report I see various LUA errors, also in the reports before a complete re-install yesterday. Like suggestion from the Crash-Report forum here I completely wiped Surveving Mars from Steam and my SSD and put a fresh download and steam-file verification on.

Sadly, these random crashes persist. It may be due to mods, but that's hard to pinpoint when in the crash files I can't really read which one might be the culprit!

Thanks for any help!

Can you replicate the issue?
Sadly: not really, the crash to desktop appears to be completely random and always with different actions or game speeds.

Are all your mods recently updated to work with the latest game patch?

Hej, thx for your fast reply on a weekend!

With the re-install all the mods have been downloaded fresh from Steam as well and at least via the Paradox-Modmanager, none has had any red flags.
I didn't go through all of them to check when was their latest update. However, I played with a slightly different setup last night, fresh map and full on cheat-mode coz I just wanted to see how a big colony with as many stuff as possible in "mid/lategame" stage would react (and I didn't wanna spend 42hrs to do so) and it was fine. Not one crash to desktop! So a minimal mod-setup worked and it seems only this map, this save/colony is borked somehow.

I would need to recreate the exact same map/scenario/mystery to see it it got anything to do with that.
But for now I need to compare the two mod-setups and see if it was one of them who caused it and add them to this new test-game.


cheers!


PS. one thing to add: the previous crashes on two occasions happened while saving, thus destroying/deleting the save (one time manual, another time it was an auto-save!)
