Game keeps locking and then booting me.

Did you get back to Red with the problem you were having back in March.
https://forum.rising-world.net…locks-up-entire-computer/

I am not sure how powerful your computer is but I am running the game on a low end pc with only 4 gig of memory.

You were saying that Rising World or Steam is taking up 100% of your disc space....I assume you mean the DISK column in task manager.

When I have Rising World running task manager shows DISK at 7% and CPU at 100%

Is the DISK Column in task manager always 100% when you play Rising World?
If so look down the DISK column and see what is taking up so much of the DISK which is the total utilization of all your drives. If something is taking up 100% of DISK in Task Manager then yes your computer will freeze.

What exactly do you mean by "disk space"? Is it as DanielBoone assumed the disk column of the task manager?

If yes can you post a screenshot of the task manager window? To do that first click on the Disk column to sort the application by the highest using one and then press the Windows Key + Print Screen Key.

The screenshot is automatically saved under MyPictures/Screenshots on your PC.

A normal PC without doing anything on it should have a disk usage of maybe 10% at most. If your disk usage is higher without having the game on then something else is running on that PC.

Just to be correct, its not Disk Space, it is IO value, (write/read) maybe the disk is corrupted? Try moving the game to another harddrive if possible.

If you have an Antivirus with live guard this may also cause such issues.

You need to click on where it says DISK to sort it with the highest value on top. From the screenshot you can see RW uses 0MB/s but the usage is still at 100%, there must be something else running on that PC. Or as Devidian said the disk is corrupt but that would cause you problems with other applications and games too I would think.

Okay this is what you can do to optimize your performance when playing Rising World first off you've got a lot of background apps you can turn off. To do this select the running task, right click and end task.

End These:

1. Snipping Tool
2. Snipping Sketch
3. Skype
4. Google Chrome
5. Your Phone

After this open up the command prompt in Admin mode - type msconfig and press enter. Now this will bring up your system configuration. Go to services and check the box [ Hide all Microsoft services]

Now click [ Disable All] Except your Antivirus Software then go to Startup. Open Task Manager.
Go through the list and disable everything with the exception of your audio drivers. You'll be able to tell the difference as it will tell you if is a Realtek or other Audio driver. Then reboot your computer.

Once your computer is Rebooted and you are signed in go to "Configure Java" in the Applications and open it.

From here Open "Settings" and delete files make sure to click the box "Installed Applications and Applets"

Right click on Start then Run: type this - temp
it will bring you to a folder "delete everything in it!" When prompted say yes to all and ignore anything that says can not deleted because that is a system file that can not be deleted.
Again Right Click on Start then Run - %temp% hit enter
This will bring you to another folder delete everything in it. When prompted say yes to all and ignore anything that says can not deleted because that is a system file that can not be deleted.
Now hop on Chrome and delete your entire history and cache then reboot your PC.

After all this is said and done your PC will be able to boot up within 8-10 seconds and playing rising World should be a lot easier. Just don't play the game in fullscreen if you've only got 4 Gigabytes of ram, and reduce your settings in game to about 13-15 view distance or less this includes details.

Have a nice day. Hope this tutorial has helped solve your problem. I've got 8 Gigs of ram myself and clean my PC regularly thank McAfee for teaching me how to do this.

Lilly.... thanks for posting those screenshots...... Obviously you can see that the Memory showing in screenshot 2 has gone up to 5573 MB which is pretty much why the game locks up.

I run the game on a low end pc with 4 gig of memory in fullscreen mode and I have not had memory issues like you are having.

Some questions:

1. Have you only recently started playing Rising World and had this issue from the start..... or have you been playing the game for some time and this problem has only started up in the last few months?

2. how long do you play before this problem occours?

3. Have you uninstalled Rising World and reinstalled it to see if that fixes the problem?

4. Some games are effected by the type of antivirus software you are running. Have you tried running the game with antivirus temporarily suspended. If your antivirus is constantly scanning your game while you play this may be causing the memory issue because the game creates a procedurally generated dynamic world and maybe this is causing your antivirus to constantly scan the game.

5. A possible workaround for this issue might be to use the dedicated server to play single player on a world locally. If you start a server, can you actually join it (go to "Multiplayer" -> "Connect to IP" -> enter localhost)? If that works, could be more or less a replacement for the singleplayer mode

6. There is a post in the forum from November last year where someone had their game lock up and the developer left some comments. You may want to check these out.

7. Create a report file and copy and paste it below

Creating a reportfile:
1. Open the game and stay in the main menu.
2. Open the game console by pressing the "^" , "´" or "~" -button on your keyboard.
3. Type in report and press enter.
4. Close or minimize the game and open your Rising World game folder.
5. There should be a textfile with "report_" and then a long number, e.g. "report_1234567898765". Open this textfile (it should state todays date) with an editor and paste its content here for us to look at.

Your first screenshot of task manager shows you are using 49% of your 12 gig of memory and Rising World was using less than 2 gig of memory. If you click on the details tab in task manager and then click once on where it says memory the software using the most memory is at the top of the list. Check if it is Rising World or something else.

Can you run a reportfile as per my last post and paste the contents of the text file here....... it may shed some light on what is happening.

Also look at any new software or hardware added in the last few weeks in case they are causing an issue.

When I have issues I always get windows to check for any issues on my computer. Windows will often detect errors before you do.

To open it in Windows 10, right click windows icon bottom left of screen , click on search and type in reliability.
View reliability will appear..... click on it to generate a reliability report.
Look for red Xs or Yellow Icons and click on the column they are in to see details of what errors were logged by windows.

This should tell you if you are having a hardware or software error being reported by Windows.
The blue line going through 1, 5 and 10 will indicate how severe the error was.
The screenshot below shows level 10 errors because Windows did not shut down properly.

The concern is that whatever it is appears to be getting worse.

Have you tried playing single player only.....not on a server.... to see if single player works.

Sorry you are not getting much play time at the moment..... once the problem is found you will be back to playing the game.

See if your husband can run the reliability report...... this is a very good tool for checking the health of your pc and I use it weekly with the business I own. A few years ago it told me I was having disk errors. My backup program then stopped working because it too detected errors but over 2 days I manually copied and pasted my files to a backup drive before my hard drive completely failed...only lost one file which was not important.

You were originally able to run the game for 4 hours...now you can only get 5 minutes. Reliability report should tell you if it is seeing any hardware problems.

I was looking at the issue you sent to Red51 a few months ago where you had issues such as logging off when you were on your horse and when you logged back in again you and your horse were under ground and you died..... then another time logging in and your player was underground and died....and also having issues with building with planks. I haven't experienced any of those problems myself.

Have not seen the reports you sent Red at the time so cant tell what the issue was there.

To rule out any issues on your computer I do recommend you run the reliability report for your computer. It checks hardware and software and at times gives an option for Windows to try and fix the problem.

Please have a look at the below video which gives some tutorial on it......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YAglkBwp48

As with my prior post
To open reliability report in Windows 10, right click windows icon bottom left of screen , click on search and type in reliability.
View reliability will appear..... click on it to generate a reliability report.

I looked at my reliability report on my business machine today and it told me I had a hardware fault at 2 this morning....yes i was working then. Didn't even know there was a problem so keeping an eye on the reliability reports daily to check the problem does not come back. I think my cat knocked the cord to my external hard-drive which windows logged.

I am truly at a loss but very open to looking at what else it could possibly be.

Thanks again for all the help, but sad to say I still need more help with this.

Hi Lilli

I took a closer look at your screenshots and think I have found something you can try.

In every screenshot but the last one you have Google Chrome running with between 10 to 15 processes running for different websites you are looking at in separate tabs, or a process for each plugin or extension.

Each process takes resources and with Skype and Steam and other software running processes at the same time a lot of resources are being used.

In the 2nd picture you posted there were at least 27 processes running 15 of which were Google Chrome.

Can I get you to try something.

Exit out of Chrome altogether and then check Task Manager to make sure Google Chrome is not showing in the apps section.

Then start Rising World.

Let me know the result.

Quote from Lilli

Chrome could have been participating at that shot for sure as chorme can slow anything down. even with only one window open!

What I finally got to work (it still is a little quirky but not locking after a minute in the game at least) I scaled the resolution way back on the settings page. I figured it could have been my graphics card having a problem. It is still locking up on me but so long as I don't try to make anything with a lot of wood or tear anything with a lot of wood in it then at least stays working longer. Since I have a lot of map to rebuild (forgot to save that before I reloaded) that will keep me busy for quite a bit.

Thanks for all the help.

You were saying that the problem occurs when you are dealing with wood.....making something with wood or breaking something of wood down.

Question:

Do you have any plugins installed such as Planks 'n Beams v0.6.0 which came out in April?
I have not actually used it myself.

The original version had 198 built-in construction textures and I think more were added for V0.6.0

If you have this in your plugins folder or on the server maybe that is something to look at.

I have a low performance pc with 4 gig of memory...... if I have refractions and reflections ticked in the settings my pc will lock up and then crash to desktop.

I spent a couple of hours setting everything to minimum and then increasing the settings until I got something that I liked. Vsync was another option I turn off.

• I wonder there's 33 % of your RAM used with no recognizable program open. _{There must ran another background program. You could close every running task by using the rask manager and check your autostart, as mentioned above. There's a little program called "autoruns" , belongs to Microsoft, where you can find a lot of hidden running parts, but be very careful to use it. There's an option to hide all Microsoft system activities . Maybe you will find something. Good luck.}
