Hey Evan, Sorry you’re having this problem. Question: is it freezing after you start a new game, or after you load a saved game? If it’s after a new game, @brad just put up a thread here on common solutions to the problem: Crashing on start? Read this! UPDATED October 18, 2016
If it’s after you load the game (that’s what it looks like your log is doing), it could be something different. What was going on in the game when you were saving?
Sorry for the late reply. been having issues with this forum. When i start a game, i first save the map so i don’t lose it when it crashes. then I start gathering resources and begin designing stuff. After a few minutes, it crashes without warning.
It freezes if i load a saved game too. I really liked the concept of this game, and still do. I just wanna be able to play it on my bigger computer. It works on my laptop, but it’s not designed for gaming so the graphics are laggy. Any info you could give me would help. Thanks.
Here’s something for the developers to look at. I found that if the game in run under compatibility mode with Windows 7 or Vista, the game runs without crashing, but is a bit slow and lua is off the hook. Windows 8 (or 8.1) has fantastic graphics, no extreme lua, but crashes after a few minutes. It seems a bit odd to me that the game only wants to run under an older OS. Could this be a programing error?
Well now the game has frozen completely again. forget what i said about the compatibility thing. My big computer just doesn’t like the game i suppose. and there is no setting option to force 32 bit in the game. it’s weird how my laptop runs it, but not my gaming desktop.
Thanks for trying! We really appreciate it. Two more things:

Welcome to the forum, @halloweenkid9 .
Are you playing with the latest Steam version? They fixed lots of crashes there.
If you’re having a crash:
Try playing with the 32bit version and see if it helps. And updating your graphic drivers from your manufacturer’s website also should help, if not, lowering your graphic settings inside the game might also help. Here’s a thread on other things that you can try:
If the game is freezing (not crashing) then it might be related to other issues with lua that people have reported. Harvesting large areas of trees, making huge farms or too big/complex building can affect the performance, too (we’re still in Alpha). The devs are fixing little by little all these issues, and the memory leaks they found, and the game is becoming more stable release by release.
