Hi Pebis22, that sounds frustrating, thanks for reporting the problem.

If you can share more information it'll help the developers understand and fix this

 

What version of the game are you playing?

 

Did the game generate a bug report zip when it crashed that you can attach?

If the game generated a bug report crash zip, you can find it in the folder C:\users\your_username\My Documents\My Games\Xenonauts 2\BugReports

it'll be a file named something like bug_report_2026-03-03-13h15_gc_7.4.0_unhandled_exception_1.zip

you can drag and drop the bug report zip into a new post in this thread, it'll really help the developers understand what is going on

Hi - this is a strange bug. Basically what's happening is that the game is trying to load a particular texture and then crashing because it thinks that texture is absolutely enormous, and it's making your system run out of memory.

Milestone 6 is pretty stable these days and has been played by thousands of people, so the problem is likely to be some kind of file corruption at your end. Can you try going to the Steam game install directory and deleting the whole /Xenonauts 2/ folder, and then reinstalling the game? That should ensure you don't have any corrupted files.

Have you got a reasonable PC? You're not playing on a laptop with really limited RAM / no graphics card or anything?

it looks like the crash zips include a system_info txt, which says:

OS: Windows 11  (10.0.26100) 64bit [WindowsPlayer]
CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12650H [16 cores]
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU
GPU: Direct3D 11.0 [level 11.1] [Direct3D11]
GPU: SM: 5.0, FR: N/A, VRAM: 5921 MB
RAM: 16024 MB
SCR: 1920x1080@144Hz [window size: 1920x1080, DPI: 120]

that looks reasonable - 16gb ram & a recent gpu with ~6gb vram
