Surviving Mars - Game freezes when transport unloads shuttle

[tornado9015]

Description
Game freezes when transport unloads shuttle

What is your game version?
227.923

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When attempting to unload a shuttle with a transport rover the game freezes. mouse movement continues to work, and radio continues to play, nothing else works.

Also, the nearby has a research building which refuses to fully construct. Also another shuttle once fueled and filled with rare metals, containing no other resources gives abandon resource warning popup when attempting to launch.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes, bring a transport unit from the base toward the bottom right and tell it to load all resources from the nearby shuttle. game will freeze on completion.

View the nearby dome, the research building will never complete construction, even if salvaged and attempted to build again (in same location, works if built somewhere else)

The other base further northwest has a shuttle nearby, once filled with fuel and rare metals, attempt to launch it to see warning.

I read your link, Mr Gilmund, and the links in that thread. I suspected that it was a "shuttle landing with rover / robots below it" issue. I have now tried to remove all robots and rovers around a landing of a shuttle and still got "the freeze". I have experimented more with this, but I get the freeze all the time. Very disappointing indeed. I guess it could be related to the size of my items on the map. I'll start a new game I guess, because the freezes doesn't seem to affect new games.

Edit:

Notice 1:
I know noticed something interesting again. As I wrote the text above my game had frozen and I alt + tabed out of the game. After writing the text I alt + tabed into the game and it moved. The speed is "FF", but nothing is moving, but I could move the screen twice. Then it all stopped again. The game seems to be running to some degree.

Notice 2:
Everytime I alt + tab into the game I can move around with the camera unrestricted by using the mouse (only) at the edges of the screen, but the UI and keyboard are not responding, and I can see that the the speed is still set at "FF".

Edit 2:
I observe that an icon is warning my about low water in a dome and it is blinking. Thus the game is running on some thread, but has forgotten to restart the other threads.

I thought at first it was related to the size of my colony but I just had one freeze at sol 30 just barely a few hours after starting a new game afterwards. Just with one dome and not much on the ground. So i'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with size . Plus i don't really lag in any way before it's happening. I doubt it's that.
What i can say though is i have rovers or drones unloading shuttles at that time on both games. And my last freeze did really happened when i clicked the rover to unload a mystery empty shuttle the game kept telling me was not empty.
What i can say too is we got some identical number in our dxdiags (P5 : 67262464) but i don't know what that means and if there is something to it.

I've seen other threads with similar issues around.

I can confirm the game is running, My task manager is not telling me the game is not responding as it would usually do when a game is freezing and i can alt+tab. Though i canno't interact with anything except moving the screen with my mouse.

OP I'm suffering from the same freezes, usually after sol 50, My first game was at sol 63, the other pretty much around the same and on my third i;m at sol 105 and it just free but with the music and camera pan working.
