Crash to Desktop - Semi-random but Often

[Squeesher]

Hi folks. I've been playing with some friends on a dedicated server (not hosted by me). I keep getting a crash back to desktop every now and then. It's not often at the same point in time, or is very seldom so. I'm the only one on the server that is having it happen, according to the admin. I'm certainly having it happen much more often than other players, as they don't hear about it from any of the others.

 

Most often, it happens during times of intense fighting, with many effects happening at once, though sometimes it has happened when exiting the build mode, when jumping/warping into or out of a sector, when just mining/salvaging, or even just flying around in empty space.

 

I get no error message, and have attached logs of each of the times it has happened tonight. I think I could get server logs if needed, but since others are not getting the issue on the same hosted server I think it is more related to my client/system than the server.

 

I notice in the client logs, it always quotes the same thing as the last logged event: "An exception occurred: DataStream access error: Accessed data exceeds buffer size: 80, offset: 80, access size: 1"

 

Sometimes it shows different buffer sizes and offsets, but the access size always seems to say 1. 

 

Can anybody help?

Would appreciate any help on this. It is literally stopping me from playing. As you can see from the timestamps on the logs, this is something that can cause the game to crash for me pretty much instantly when going back in-game after the previous crash. I cannot play until this is addressed, whether it is something on my machine only, or otherwise. Reinstalls do not fix. Beta-branch is not possible as the server I play on is on stable-current branch.  I would love to continue playing.

 

Let me know if there is anything else I need to provide to assist in finding the problem. If it is fixed in the next patch, at least tell me. Thanks.

This is very likely something only koonschi can fix, but I think he is currently at GDC. You might have to wait for a few days and see if he is able to get to this issue in that time.

 

Do you have the same issue if you play a singleplayer galaxy or if you play on another server? If that is not the case then it is possible that this might be an issue related to your friends server instance.

This information might help to find the cause for this issue.

 

If it also happens in singleplayer, you could update to the beta version and start a new galaxy to test if the issue remains. If it doesn't, then its likely fixed and will be in the next patch. I would not recommend to use an old single player galaxy, as they beta galaxies are not compatible with the stable version.

Thank you, I will attempt to narrow things down in the ways you suggest in the meantime, and report back what I find with any new logs.

I am having the exact same thing happen to me, virtually unplayable if i keep crashing at seemingly random intervals no matter what im doing.

I've messed around with the graphic settings to no avail.

 

My CPU is the exact same as the OP

But I have 1080 Nvidia

16g Ram

Installed on SSD.

I got crashs when enter in build mode and access inventory (to install turrets).

Most of time, the game run fine, even in multiplayer, but, the same issue happen to my brother when we play together.

 

EDIT (12/04/18): When I type something to filter all turrets and left the box with the text and exit build mode, it crashs when I enter it again. The game don't close. Instead, it stop all server actions, but game still running. ALT+F4 to exit and see the error message from windows.

 

EDIT 2 (13/04/18): I have noticed that when I put a turret in the toolbox, install the turret, exit build mode, and enter it again, sometimes a random item apear in the same place I placed the turret, and so, the game crashes.
