Crashes while saving and loading

[Thurand]

Hey there ,

My game crashes after couple of saves or loadings. It usually crashes the second i press F5 to quicksave or when i try to save from the menu. Same with the loading.

Any help would be appreciated

Seems to be an issue with the msvcp100.dll file. I would suggest uninstalling any installations of Visual C++ 2012 from your PC, reboot your computer, then install the x64 version of it from this link here:

Thank you , i'll try what you've said and post the result.

Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Did exactly as you asked , first uninstalled 2012 , rebooted , then downloaded and installed the x64 version from the link. Still getting the same error.

I'm attaching the latest crash report for you perusal.

Is there any other advice that you can give me ?

Now it's actually a slightly different error. This one is detecting an issue with a file from the 2010 version. I would suggest doing the same thing, uninstall any versions of 2010 you have, then reboot the computer.

You can find installers for 2010 in the Kenshi folder:
Steam\steamapps\common\Kenshi\dependencies

Run both of the "vcredist" files, as the game needs both the x64 and x86 versions to run.

Thanks , i'll check and get back to you whether the has been resolved or not.

Sadly this didn't resolve the issue as well.

I'm sending over the latest crashdump.

I'm honestly at my wits end , if i can't solve the problem soon i'll have to quit the game and it'll be such a shame.

If you just could take a look at it one more time i'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Well, unfortunately we're back to the first error again. There may be an issue with your drive, so you might try running an sfc scan, and if that turns up no issues doing a clean reinstall of the game (uninstall, remove leftover files, reinstall).

If you reinstall, make sure to back up any saves, mods, and your mods.cfg file just in case.

Hey again ,

Did an sfc scan , found a corrupted file , fixed it. Didn't solve the problem.

Did a clean reinstall of the game and fixed all of the c++ reds , still didn't solve my problem.

The game just randomly crashes while saving , be it autosave or quicksave , and sometimes while loading. Sometimes i can play an hour long session without a crash and sometimes it just crashes after 5 min.

Would doing a clean reinstall of Windows help , or do you have any other advice ?

Thanks again.

It may just be your hard drive. Are you experiencing any issues with other games or files? The SFC scan did detect corrupt data after all.

This crashing sometimes when reading and writing data seems kind of similar to a time when I had a drive that was dying many years back now. Basically any time something was interacting with the data on the drive, there was a chance it would crash. Sometimes I'd go hours without an issues, other times it would crash within minutes. Was all random chance if it would try to read/write to one of the bad sectors.

Unfortunately the dumps aren't providing any new information anymore. All I've got is that it's failing to access the dll files related to the C++ redistributables. And giving error codes I've never seen in a report before, so I don't have much to go on.

Best I can suggest is maybe try installing the game to another drive if you have one? And turn off user save location. That would make it save the game in the installation folder instead, which would put the saves on the new drive too.

Did a clean install of Windows , i've set up nothing but Kenshi. Still got the same error.

Then i saw your answer as to that it might be related to a hard drive error. Normally everthing is installed on my relatively new ( have it for just over a year ) Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB M2. Then i switched the game folder to my other hard drive which is Model : WDC WD10EZEX-22BN5A0 - 1 TB HDD. It's still crashing. And finally i swithed the game folder to my third hard drive which is a Model Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB. And surprise surprise , still getting the error. I find it difficult to believe that all three hard drives are faulty hardware.

I guess that's it , there nothing else to do but give up.

What a waste.

try running the SFC Scan.
there is also just downloading the msvcp100.dll file and placing it in the main game directory.

these are about the only options i can come up with to try and help.

I caught an error like this in the crash dump file , what do you think that it means , can it be related to my RAM ? The line was ;

''The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.''

Let me share my specs for reference ;

Processor : 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K, 3000 Mhz, 24 Core
Motherboard : PRO Z790-P WIFI (MS-7E06)
RAM : F5-5600J4040C16GX2-TZ5S DDR5 - 2 x 16 GB
Graphics Card : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4070 Ti

what i have found with that error message is that it might be possible your ram is faster then your CPU can handle.
but, this might not be the case. but I'm good with computers, but not that good.
either talk to a computer repair specialist, or google. i know not everyone can easily afford a computer repair specialist.
and what i found might not be correct either.

but what i did find was someone had lowered the rams speed and it fixed "Their" issue.
honestly this is above my paygrade. better to seek out other peoples help who know more then we do.

When you tried installing to other drives, did you uncheck the "user save location" option? As without doing it, the save files would still all be saved on the same drive no matter which one the game was installed on.

I kind of doubt it's the issue, with a full windows reinstall, as if it was a drive issue I'd think the reinstall would not have gone smoothly. But it still doesn't hurt to test it.
