Check System Requirements:
- Ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Space Engineers.
Verify Game Files:
- In the Steam library, right-click on Space Engineers, select Properties, go to the "Local Files" tab, and click "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This will ensure that your game files are not corrupted.
Update Graphics Drivers:
- Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Visit the official website of your graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) to download and install the latest drivers.
Disable Mods:
- If you are using mods, they might be causing compatibility issues. Try disabling mods and see if the problem persists. If the game works without mods, you may need to update or remove problematic mods.
Firewall and Antivirus:
- Ensure that your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking Space Engineers or its server connection. Add exceptions for the game in your firewall settings.
Server Issues:
- The issue might be on the server side. Check if other players are experiencing similar problems on the same server. If the problem is server-wide, it could be related to server performance or configuration.
Direct Connect:
- Instead of using the in-game server browser, try connecting directly using the server's IP address. This can sometimes bypass issues related to the server browser.
Update Game and Server:
- Ensure that both your game and the server are running the latest version. An outdated game or server might cause compatibility issues.
Check Logs:
- Examine the game logs for any error messages. The logs are usually located in the game's installation directory or in a "Logs" folder. Look for any error messages that might provide clues about the cause of the crash.
Contact Support:
- If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Space Engineers community forums or the game's support channels for assistance. They may have specific solutions for known issues.
Remember that Space Engineers is regularly updated, and issues may be addressed in newer patches. Keep an eye on official announcements and patch notes for information about bug fixes and updates.
