u/LilQuestions

Hello fellow Astroneers! I have a important question for you all. I have played through the game several times at this point, including alpha and beta. I always have a blast with friends. My recent save file started in 2021 where we have built tons, explored everything, and set up automations/trains. I decided to jump back in last night with my buddy, but his game ended up crashing after a bit...

My question is, is the game in a more stable state on a fresh save these days!? Is there anything about the updates the game has had and starting new, or would we hit the same wall with how the game runs once you have so much built/running?

I would love to play the game without the crashes for guests, issues with invisible geometry, automations not working... to name a few.

Have you also been having issues with the Epic Games launcher when it wants to update? Is it in an update loop? Spending hours trying to get it fixed!? I was having issues that prevented the launcher from updating and even opening at all. Before you try uninstalling and any big things like that give this a try.

Open task manager
Go to services tab
Find EpicGamesUpdater
Right click, click on Open Services
Find Epic Games Updater
Right click, click Start (Leave Services Window Open)
Try opening Epic Games Launcher again

Let me know if that works for you! If it fixes it and the Startup Type was manual, I wonder if setting it to automatic will fix it for future update/install issues.
