But before posting, try to update the graphics card driver - this was the most common source of problems in previous SE versions, so may apply to the current one.
Please post a bug report with a more or less detailed explanation, screenshot, and the log file. It is located at
<Your steam directory>\steamapps\common\SpaceEngine\system\se.log

Turns out that (at least with NVidia drivers) that causes crashes and/or total system freeze with SE. Since I did enable Page File again (just let Windows manage it), no more crashes and freezes
SpaceEngine don't start
Pressing play in Steam client does nothing. If launching SpaceEngine.exe directly (it is located in folder <Steam installation folder>\steamapps\common\SpaceEngine\system) a popup window shown with en error code 0xc000007b.
Possible cause is what Steam didn't automatically install packages Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 and OpenAL, or they are damaged. Download and install Visual C++ 2015 Redist from the Microsoft website and OpenAL from its official website.
Obsolete graphics card
If you receive a message "Your system has an obsolete OpenGL version" or "Your system has an obsolete GLSL version", try to change this in the SpaceEngine/config/main-user.glsl:
Code: Select all
CoreContext false
CoreContextVersion "3.3"
ShaderVersion "3.3"
