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.
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.

I will say, the game is remarkably stable compared to what it was a few years ago. Especially pistons and rotors.
But yes, it still crashes randomly. About once or twice an hour.
And I got SE2 running. No crashes there, but I don’t like creative mode, so play SE2 much less.
I am excited for the upcoming SE2 survival mode

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.

Check the Lutris website, there may be a custom install script there

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.

Fair, good luck with it. Just had to figure out that a drive from a windows install was causing huge permissions issues and any game installed on it wasn’t executing. Sometimes the problems can be really obtuse.
