I know that @swope has seen this issue and we've seen it sporadically where SR2 hangs on startup and the screen goes white. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any idea on how to reproduce it?

    @IAmMyBoss Is the planet that is supposed to be Droo missing all of its surface features? If so, the way I fix that is to download another sandbox that uses the default solar system.

    Stated up the game today and it when it click to big start button, when the planets rotate, they just stop there and the only thing i see is the planets on the starting screen

    I've had hangs with both Simpleplanes and simplerockets 2. But I think it's a steam issue.

    P.S: Have you seen my SR-71? It isn't great but I think you'd like it at least a little bit.

    https://youtu.be/A303Di1zp_E This is a launch after the update. No white screen happening. Just a few seconds of darkness is all.

    @AndrewGarrison I've launched the game about 5 times since updating and all 5 of them have had the hang. Also, upon actually counting, the hang is only around 2-3 seconds.

    Thanks @SupremeDorian. Do you get the 5 second hang every time?

    @AndrewGarrison The white screen at launch is gone, however there is a black screen at launch for about 5 seconds before the menu screen appears. Here's the output log if necessary.

    @AndrewGarrison it froze for about 2 seconds and then launched fine without the need of relaunching it in the new version :D

    @AndrewGarrison I didn't try the new version yet but this may be useful for you.
    Usually when I close SR2 Steam takes 10 seconds to work and if I try to use it sometimes crashes

    I have a new version on the Steam beta branch if any of you want to give it a shot and let me know if you are still seeing the white screen.

    Thanks @WNP78, but we like to take our own dumps :D

    We've attached to it with VS and checked out the callstack as well and the main thread appears to be deadlocked. We are going to submit a dump to Unity and see what they say. I do highly suspect that it's Steam hooking into the process and contributing to the deadlock. I've got a new build on the Steam beta branch that hopefully works around the issue for now.

    It happens for me if the app doesn't have 4gb of ram useable, and also happens if steam overlay is activated. I had to turn off overlay for the game for it to run.

    This just happened to me now. I connected VS 2017's debugger - it's all external code running and SimpleRockets2.dll is not loaded yet. The application is unresponsive and goes to a white screen. output_log.txt is fairly minimal. I saved a .dmp file with VS which I can upload if you want. I killed it and restarted it and received the same bug. Then I started it directly (not via steam) and it worked. After that, it now works through steam again. Could be coincidental but a steam overlay issue is highly likely. gameoverlayrenderer64.dll from my Steam install was present in the dump.

    No issues today. I guess the updated video drivers made the difference.

    Every time I launch the game from steam for the first time it crashes. I have no much time so I couldn't find any possible cause.

    Edit: Launch for the first time every time I rebooted my laptop*

    It's really strange this!

    On Mac, nothing strange at the moment.

    It handles just as the other versions
