Post bugreports here. After collecting information, we will write a troubleshooting recommendation, or even fix bugs operatively and upload an update!
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

Maybe some info for others (and the team): a lot of people with high-end systems and/or more then enough RAM, have disabled the Page File within Windows. 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
► Show Spoiler
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.cfg:
CoreContext false
CoreContextVersion "3.3"
ShaderVersion "3.3"
