Hi, I have exactly the same issue.

Me too - Game version 1008107

Please attach here your affected save game files, and note anything that needs to be done in that game to trigger the crash, thanks!

With Hotfix 4, still crashes. But seemingly a few minutes later and more random. with V1008107 it always crashed at the same point (now around end of sol 123 / sol 124)

I hope you guys can figure it out because i really like this game, but i dont want to invest more time in it while it has game-breaking bugs.

Likewise, I left the game alone, not building or doing anything, it just crashed. Not a happy bunny.

Same issue, load this save game, crashes a few minutes later. Have tried to recreate but there is no particular action that causes it. v1008107 and V1008298

game does not autosave and when i maunally save on the next sol, the game crashes

The game still crashes to desktop when trying to load my save using the latest version which was released today.

I'd consider starting a new game but it might crash again at some point with all these bugs. Please fix!

I'm afraid this one has mods in use, so I can't report it. If you ever get a crash in an unmodded game please let us know!

This one did not crash for me, I ran it hands-off for a couple of sols just fine. Is there anything I need to do to trigger the crash?

We don't have any consistency yet I'm afraid - your game in the OP here ran for over a sol just fine for me. Any chance you can try a new unmodded game started now and see if it crashes for you too?

Hi,

thanks for looking into it. So i tried it again and for me, when loading the save I attached in my first post, the game consistently crashes at about Hour 14 of Sol 122. I then went on and saved the game againg a few moments before the crash to better reproduce it. But: when loading this new save, the crash does not occur. Maybe the issue which caused the crash in the first place was fixed in one of the updates, but a new save had to be created.

Btw I have no mods installed.

That sounds like the bug was actually fixed in one of the recent patches but the save file needed to be written out by them to take effect.

Do let us know here if you now have any further such issues.
