Seafarer: The Ship Sim: Game Keeps Crashing (Fix)

Short answer

Well thanks for the update, but I already found a similar article. I in fact already use kinda settings since I build my system and hadn’t had any problems so far.

Why it happens

Players experience game crashes accompanied by a "GPU crash dump triggered" error message, system freezes, or complete computer crashes upon launching the game or after 10 to 15 minutes of gameplay.

Additionally, systems using the Intel Core i9-14900K or 14900KF processors may experience issues because the hardware has a manufacturer-confirmed power supply flaw. Unreal Engine games and applications intensely stress this CPU during tasks like shader compilation, instantly triggering the flaw and causing crashes.

How to fix it

  1. Update your system BIOS to address potential stability and hardware stress issues.
  2. Adjust your system settings, though standard configurations may not resolve the underlying hardware conflict.

If it still doesn't work

  • Wait for developers to provide clues or release an update to fix the loading screen and launch errors.
  • Report the crash if you encounter the loading screen error message.
  • Consider hardware upgrades, such as switching your graphics card, to see if it resolves the instability.

What players reported

Keeps crashing after 10-15mins, 14900kf, 7900xtx nitro+. Tried regedit TdrDelay, Win8 compability, low settings, high settings. Stills crashes because "Gpu crash dump triggered". I did like the game but the fact, that i cant play more then 20mins without crashing and system freezing im kinda mad.

Well thanks for the update, but I already found a similar article. I in fact already use kinda settings since I build my system and hadn’t had any problems so far. I’m switching from a 7900xtx nitro + to a 5080 ventus 3x oc in a few days. I’m curious if this is gonna fix the problem since my cpu never crashed since I started my system the first time. I updated my bios 2 days after I ran into the…

At lunchtime today, I was able to play the game completely smoothly and without any issues. Now, three hours later, the game just crashes my computer completely whenever I try to launch it. And I mean really bad crashes. I haven't changed a thing. Please fix this bug already. This is totally unacceptable!! Orca_Win64_Shipping Orca_Win64_Shipping Orca_Win64_Shipping Orca_Win64_Shipping…

Yes, it's been happening to me lately too. Loading screen and error message. I've reported it as well, I hope it gets fixed soon. Let's see if the developers give any clues about the cause. Regards

Hi everyone. If you have the 14900k, this could be your issue: The Intel Core i9-14900K has a manufacturer-confirmed, permanent power supply issue that has actually damaged the hardware. Especially games and applications based on the Unreal Engine (like during shader compilation) stress the CPU so precisely and intensely that it triggers the flaw instantly, leading to a crash. Feel free to check…
