For more information see here Bug Report Template Build: 3810 Mode: Survival - SP SERVER NAME: Local (Akua) SEED-ID: 509867 Reproducibility: Once Severity: High/Crash Type: CTD Summary: CTD when driving my HV in starter planet Description: Not sure how to reproduce it but I was playing a new save game created with v1.8 EXP I, just a few hours from the beginning, ignoring all tutorials, with no third party tools, mods or workshop items added. I repaired a damaged HV, installed a scanner (not sure if it's related but I was using the scanner while driving) and then the game simply crashed to desktop. Also no config modifications. Steps to Reproduce: It seems random and not reproducible from given steps. Driving an HV with a scanner is a good hint. I'm attaching both the crash log when the CTD happened and the saved game moments before the crash. Hope they help identify the cause. [EDIT] Attached the crash dump indicated in the last line of the log file as well.
@byo13 were you close to the meridian when this happened? I got a CTD from flying my Small Vessel ... from West to East across the meridian. (the seam where the playfield map wraps around the globe) It was one of those long CTD freezes that somehow made a savegame. I was able to reproduce it by starting again, flying east to west , turning around and flying east across again. While I was crashed - the game had processes still running so I killed them with Steam Stop command button. I then used Library - Properties - Local Files - Validate and had 29 bad files, which got downloaded again. Now - can no longer reproduce this. Corrupted files ? I'll keep an eye on this.
@michael.mccawley No, it's random in the starting planet Akua. It just happened again right now and it's the third time in 2 days so it's getting pretty common for me. My suspicion is that my HV is in a high speed and things are getting into the FOV really fast so it maybe related to accessing/rendering vegetation in high speed. The game hangs for a while and then crashes to desktop. This only happens with my HV after having played the game for a while. Never happened on foot or with my repaired SV. [EDIT] I followed your suggestion and found 9 files to be repaired on Steam. Just repaired them. Let's see if it's fixed. Thank you.
Idem, waiting before posting because of files corruption the first time, but, again a CTD when pick up my SV and just taking altitude quickly. 5 minutes of play. ice shower effect.
