[2022] Surviving Mars - My game freezes

I ran two of those saves for a few sols, no hangs or crashes I'm afraid!

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

Is there any action or event in the game that seems to trigger the problem?

GuillaumeC57 said: I ran several games with the same difficulty and the game froze after a few hours.

Not quite sure what you are saying here ... can you clarify for us please?  

I'm still somewhat puzzled - the game in the OP freezes in 1 minute but you managed to finish it somehow? But now the game takes hours instead of 1 minute to freeze?  

Okay, I think you are saying you can play a new campaign for some hours okay, but then it starts freezing. When that first happens, an exit and reload freezes again after 1 minute. Is that the situation?

Regardless I couldn't get either save to freeze for me. Do you have access to any other machine to try them on?  

I've just run both saves on another machine for several Sols, no hangs or other problems at all. Given what you've done I frankly have no idea what could be causing this to you.

In the game's Display option, check that Vsync is on and frame rate limited to 60.


If that looks okay Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 10 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install

Yours is clearly a different issue than the rest of this thread, as your save hangs for me too, on 2 different machines.

What could be different in your setups to cause this so consistently I do not know.


Please attach here the latest (ONLY!) game log file, from here:

To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

Plus, DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
