Description
Game crashes about once per sol on Mac since Green Planet



Mac


Steam

What is your game version?
244677
Do you have Space Race installed?
Yes

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The game keeps crashing (sometimes once every few sols, sometimes several times in a single sol; on average, it seems to be about once per sol).

It didn't crash that often (maybe three crashes since I bought the game) when it was only the original game (i.e. pre-Green-Planet).

I'm on a mid-2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display running macOS 10.14.4; I have a 2.2-GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM. Video settings are on medium (because it crashed a lot more on high and it looks pretty awful on low). I’m not using any mods.

Can you replicate the issue?
No. It crashes at a different point each time, and it doesn’t seem to be triggered by anything in particular. For example, sometimes I’ll load up an autosave and immediately go fix a broken wind turbine and it’ll crash when I select the drone; next time I load up the same autosave and do the same thing immediately, it’ll let me select the drone just fine.

Do you play with any mods installed and did you try disabling them if so?

 

[C34H32N4O4Fe]

No mods.

Try https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335 and see if it changes anything. Also do you move waste rock with your transporter? Does it happend only on saved games or in a new one?

 

[C34H32N4O4Fe]

Just Followed the instructions on that site. It successfully validated all files.

I’ve moved waste rock with transporters in the past. The last few times it crashed, all three of my transporters were getting metals from surface deposits, though.

It happens on both saved games and new ones.

It keeps crashing, so whatever the validation did did not fix the problem.

Thanks for your help so far, though.

Could you check if you have any logs and crash dump files, and upload them attached here? They should be in ~/Library/Application Support/Surviving Mars/

There are also crash logs in ~Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports (these are the ones that appear in the "Report to Apple" dialog box after something crashes) that could help, look for ones with the name 'MarsSteam_'.

Sorry for the late reply; I was out of town. Here are a few crash logs (I think I uploaded them correctly).

Should be fixed next week:

Thanks, good to know!

I am experiencing a similar problem, except my mac is doing a hard freeze where I need to hold the power button to shut it down. It is not every sol, but every 1-3 sols. I just downloaded the game this week and I love it. Please advise.

 

[C34H32N4O4Fe]

GoadPercussion, have you noticed a correlation with anything? I’ve noticed the crashes become much more frequent for me when my Mac becomes hot.

 

[GoadPercussion]

Maybe, it's running the computer really high when I am playing, but not overly hot. I had an overheating problem with a different game at another point, but this isn't as physlically hot as that. I have nothing else running and the video settings are the lowest.
