Crash on Aquilo without discernible cause

Post by gigas »

I experienced apparently random crashes since I landed on Aquilo yesterday four times in less than three hours of gameplay. Initially I thought that may be caused by loading saves three times, as I tested a design in a sandbox save, then I returned to the current save, but last time the game crashed I only loaded a save once, as I booted up the game.
I have no mods installed, and I'm on the most recent experimental patch.
Here are the logs and the savefile.

Are you on the latest bios for the raptor lake defect?

I'm not on the most recent update, but I've updated less than a month ago, so I'm not sure that issue in particular still affects my laptop. I'll update the bios to the newest version and post an update, if I were to crash again.

The crash provided is caused by corruption, so a hardware issue is likely. If you post logs of other crashes we could tell if they are actually random.

I just discovered something very, very strange. I found a spitter in my base, right next to the spaceship wreck, so it's probably the entity mentioned in the log. I tried shooting it, and the game immediately crashed. What's even more interesting is I had to shift+spacebar to kill it, like for captive nests. Could this be a "kernel of corruption" that would make crashes less frequent, if save-edited out of my game?
