Repeatable Crash in Specific Area

11 votes

Game started causing the client to hard lock and stop responding when entering our 3rd settlement and surrounding area. Can occur immediately or after a few minutes. Multiple players experienced this while other areas of the map were running fine. Crashes are repeatable and happen whether playing locally or on the dedicated server. Could terrain deformation and or mob spawning be causing this?

I can provide the world file and a screenshot of the suspect area for debugging if needed.

Had the same issue here. My problem was at one of the swamps where there was a crypt that spawned bugged (Underwater). Moving closer to this structure made my server insta crash.

We managed to glitch area of our map. It's specified area like 50meters x 50 meters that crashes our game.

We had planted a lot of trees and seeds close to each other and after that it started crashing game for us.
We cleaned whole are out of trees and stuff, but it still crashes our game

Only solution we managed to do was to move our base away from that area, and everything has been fine since then, but still if we go to that area it crashes.

So probably something to do with planting a lot of stuff close to each other? Also there was much landscaping done nearby.

Yep, have the same thing near a gray dwarf nest spawn point.

I'm having this issue. The area that consistently causes my game to lock up is my starting circle/spawn point and a small radius around it. Game plays fine everywhere else, but if I go near this spot I will be guaranteed a hard lockup. I'm not running any mods. This just started happening about a week ago. I'm on about day 850.

Hi Julie,

I am sorry to hear that you are encountering constant crashes in your world. Is it only in one specific world you encounter this behavior? If yes, please upload your player.log file, as well as your world to a website such as https://easyupload.io/ and send me the link as a reply here and we can take a closer look at it.

Hey guys seems this bug is still prevalent. I have a server where an area is unplayable. My friend cant stay in the server for longer than 5 seconds without crashing

Please check Section1:Point5 & Point 9 in this guide. Other issues are probably mod related. If server nor clients are using mods, it might be a new issue, so uploading your files might help with figuring out what's causing the problem.
