    Could you provide a video capture reproducing what you describe?
    1. Install a monitoring utility i.e. MSI afterburner EVGA Precision
    2. Install OBS for capturing game video, or use GPUs own utility if your card is nVidia
    3. Start OBS and then start the game activate monitoring utility and capture a short video to show the issue.
    4. Upload in youtube, preferably unlisted and share the link here for Empyrion forum users to watch.

    There are tons of tutorials how to capture game content and set up OBS for that purpose. The monitoring program can show what happens every second and give us an idea. You do not even share GPU model PC configuration etc.

    Game crashes at the loading screen when I try to screen capture. On my system as the one listed above. My wife's, my secondary, my kids and my friends. We havent had the ability to screen record since 1.2.

    Don't know why

    Are you saying I need a YouTube account to post bugs? That won't ever happen I assure you.

    And no help on the video crashing the game at the loading screen? Tutorials don't help when the game crashes
