After a while I came back to play, updated in place, changed some mods. I feel that the latest release is a bit finicky, the one I played before - I don't remember the exact version, it was beginning of April - was rock solid. It was also an experimental release back then.

Just now, another crash log, a bit different than before. Crashed before reaching the Main Menu.

This crash suggest a hardware issue, see 114778, you can try if different graphic drivers help. If you find a way to reliably reproduce it, let us know.

Thanks for the quick reply. This machine has none of the stated "unstable system" issues, and everything worked flawlessly before. Using latest nvidia drivers ( 580.something). BUT.

- I changed the mods from the earlier play from April
- I had the experimental caching options enabled
- The first reported logs was with almost all new set of mods but with OLD cached data
- The second crash happened during load, at the moment where the game minimized itself when I interacted with browser on my second monitor (I have the auto minimize setting ON).
- The main graphic environment was X11 in all cases above.

Now:
- I deleted all cached data
- I switched to Wayland
- I left the window alone during load

I have the game loaded now, minimized, all working so far. I will update here with any more crashes or problems (hope not).

Also, if I can help with some other tests or logs - please let me know.
