What's Happening?​

Whenever I start the game (at the minimum settings), the game says loading complete, some music runs (the game still frozen) and then black screen and then crash.

Reproduction Rate​

1. Launch the game normally.
2. Set everything to the lowest possible quality.
3. Screen shows loading complete.
4. Music starts to play.
5. black screen and crash.

Already Tried​

I'm on my latest driver version. I've tried turning off the ground clutter in settings.toml (which has solved the crash on planet render). I've already lowered my quality to minimum.

Hello and welcome to the forums!

I think you may be experiencing a crash related to driver incompatibilities between Intel iGPUs and KSA's tech stack. The VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST message in the log corroborates this. This is a recurring trend and unfortunately there isn't any workaround I'm aware of to fix this at the moment. Hopefully in time the devs find a way to improve this.

Thank you for reporting this! It helps give the issue more visibility.

I understand. Hopefully, devs fix this in the future. Really excited for KSA!
