Description
Game crashing to desktop when zooming out


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
1001586

Do you have Space Race installed?
Yes

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When loading the game, all seems fine but then as I zoom out to see the entire map the game freezes and simply crashes to desktop. I only run 2 mods, first one is "Automated Tradepad" and second one is "Mod Config Reborn" which is complementary to the first one for extra options. I tried running the game without the mods, it crashes the exact same way. It started to do this every time on may 2nd, it would sometimes do it but very sporadically to the point I didn't pay any mind to it but now it is every single time.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes, every single time I accelerate time then zoom out (even if I keep accelerating or freezing time while zoomed out)

Disabling mods does not remove effects they have already had on a save game file. Can you duplicate this in a colony with no mods ever used in it?

I added the save file in my original post tho for some reason I am not able to add the .crash file in the file attachment or as a link in the forum. I'll create a new modless save and keep you posted on how it behaves

From all those lua errors I think this will be a game or mod bug, but as we see this in the crash stack:
C:\Program Files\Avast Software\Avast\aswAMSI.dll
make sure MarsStam.exe is in all the Avast exceptions lists.

In the Tito release the devs added SurfaceDepositPreciousMinerals to the RCTransport:Automation_Gather() func, and it spams the log for everyone. I added an override to my lib mod to block the spam (makes it easier to read when people send me logs for my mods).

(PreciousMinerals are going to be part of the picard DLC, they added a DLC check to other stuff, but not that func)

Ok, that seemed to have fixed the problem, been running it for 5 minutes without any crashes. If it turns out to be a fluke and crashes again systematically I'll keep you posted, but in case it ain't big thanks to all of you for your help. :)
