HowTo / Notes

Game crashes at startup

If you experience crashes when starting the game try disabling the sound by running 'winetricks sound=disabled'.
After all, it even adds some realism to the game since there are no sounds in space.
If you still want to play with sound try launching the game again and again. Eventually it should start.

Crash for version 1.43

If the game crashes and the log has similar lines:

2014-08-14 12:08:28.174 - Thread: 8 -> Exception occured:
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Unknown error "-2146893812". at System.Security.Cryptography.CapiHashAlgorithm.HashCore(Byte[] array, Int32 ibStart, Int32 cbSize)

...

Try removing 'checksum.xml' from '\Steam\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content' folder.

Fixing black transparent textures

In order to fix the issue with transparent textures rendering as black boxes you need to edit the TransparentMaterials.sbc file located in 'Steam/SteamApps/common/SpaceEngineers/Content/Data' and add "<AlphaSaturation>1</AlphaSaturation>" to every entry that does not already have an AlphaSaturation tag.

This can be done manually, or use the file from here http://pastebin.com/tXsSAkCF

If you are crashing when pressing any key.

Disable the steam overlay.

Its 2024 ! The Steam install works perfectly

Give it a Gold or Platinum, I dual boot with Mint 21.1 Windows 10 and see no difference between them.
