Crash after max 5 min

[Käse]

Hi, I'm new here, and why? Because I'm having a problem with crashes. I've been playing 7 Days to Die for 5 years, but I've never experienced anything like this before. I hope someone can help me.

My save game keeps crashing repeatedly. At first, it happened after an hour of playing, two days ago. Then yesterday, it crashed after half an hour and again after 1 hour. Today, it crashed after 50 minutes, then 15 minutes, 10 minutes, and so on, happening faster and faster until it now crashes almost every 1-5 minutes.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Verified the game files through Steam.

Disabled the graphics jobs in the launcher.

Reinstalled the game (I saved the save game and the generated world beforehand).

Started a new game and played for about 10 minutes without any crashes (I've attached the log for that).

Since I'm already on Day 26 in my current game, I didn't test it for much longer. I've also attached the log from the last crash. English isn't my first language, but I hope everything is understandable. Thanks for any help.

Hopefully this isn't due to the Intel issue. Try turning Graphics Jobs off in the game launcher. Ah I missed the part where you said you turned it off.

Might try rolling back the GPU driver too. latest version has been causing an issue.  Nvidia is like 6/1 for good driver packages this year. It's been pretty bad.

I have new insights. At least I hope so.

 
First of all, thanks for your ideas. I turned off the graphics jobs in the game launcher again. I haven’t touched the Nvidia graphics driver yet since I just updated it yesterday and the problem already existed the day before. But I’ll give it a try. Now, on to the more or less good news: The quick crashes were happening in the Bowling Center POI, where I had a quest. I simply declined the quest and ran away as quickly as I could.

 
Surprisingly, there didn’t seem to be any further crashes at first. Then I went back to my base (right next to the Bowling Center) and tried to open the cement mixer, where the error appeared.

ops, the same error message as below, but for the cement mixer.

I was able to cancel that with ESC.

After that, I went to my forges, where the error occurred again.

This time, I had to reset the game because it was stuck in an endless loop. After restarting, I was able to play for 22 minutes without any problems. (Unfortunately, I have to go to work now.) So, it seems like it might be a different issue after all?

Here’s the full log again.

At a minimum your forge is bugged out. If you still can, try to simply destroy it with pickaxe and replace it and materials in it through the creative menue.
