[2022] Surviving Mars - Game crashes frequently

You have a problem with your nVidia card or driver:

+++ WER0 +++:
Fault bucket LKD_0x141_Tdr:6_IMAGE_nvlddmkm.sys_Kepler_UserOC, type 0

Please try this:

- uninstall that driver and all other nVidia software
- reboot
- install the 2022 one from here:

Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers

Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers www.nvidia.com - reboot again

Now test with a new colony, not any existing one. Any better?  

Looks like nVidia stopped updating the driver for that card last year, that's a shame.

While I doubt it is the cause of your problem, can you do a test with a colony with no mods at all enabled?

Assuming that does not help, it looks like a Windows or nVidia hardware problem, to me. Do you have any overclocking active?

This is not a Unity game, so Unity launch options like that will do nothing.

detaal said: Even if it would be fully utilized it almost never goes over 76°C.

This is in the game? But it never gets to 80c or more? Because that is when problems start.

detaal said: It doesn't crash anymore when I disable the overclock

What was overclocked?  

Frankly, that's starting to sound like you have a hardware problem, most likely in the GPU!

My game on my MAC book Pro continues to crash to no avail and no solution. Please advise.

In future please make your own thread, rather than "me too" someone else's - your issue is almost certainly different. Thanks.

Has this always happened since you've had the game? Or it was okay up to some point?

After a crash can you run the game, reload the save and carry on? Or what happens/


Please attach here the latest log from the game :

~/Library/Application Support/Surviving Mars/logs/

To find that file, in Finder do cmd-shift-G to bring up the GOTO box. In there paste ~/Library/ . You will see a /Application Support/ folder, and inside that /Surviving Mars/ and then a /logs/ folder. Please attach the latest file from in there to here by dropping it on this support ticket, or use the "Attach file" link here.

Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.

Any advice?

This thread is about issues on the Steam edition, but you appear to have the PS4/5 one. Please post in the Console forums for that one, thanks.
