    I play a lot of Space Engineers, and it randomly crashes… No idea what’s causing it.

    And Space Engineers 2 just doesn’t launch for me.

    There’s likely a config option that could fix things, but I don’t know it.

    Every other game I play is fine.

      You know about protondb already? Gives a good list of potential fixes if you come across issues, it’s been a godsend on the rare occasions something doesn’t work first try

        I know. Tried a few things from that site, but no luck on SE, and SE2 is under active development so I’m waiting on it for a bit.

      Have you changed which version of proton it uses? It’s in the compatibility options for the game, sometimes going to an older version solves some issues.

        For SE2, it’s likely a version issue. But that game is under active development, so I’m waiting on it.

        For SE1, well that one is a bit of a mystery… It probably isn’t. I have a few mods.

      That’s because of the awful spaghetti code that is the basis of Space Engineers. I gave up on that game years ago, because those devs were vibe coding before it was cool, and it shows.
