SpaceEngineersLoader

This comes with absolutely no warranty. Please do not report bugs to Keen if using this.

What is this?

Experiments to run Space Engineers on .NET. Related experiment: SpaceEngineers4Linux, which is a superset of this project. This project's goal is only .NET 6, on Windows or in Wine (not native Linux).

How to set up

  1. I recommend using JetBrains Rider
  2. Install .NET 6 SDK
  3. Open Loader.csproj and add your Space Engineers Bin64 path in between <SpaceEngineersBin64></SpaceEngineersBin64>
  4. Build and publish project dotnet publish -c Release -o dist -r win-x64 --self-contained (you can do -c Debug)
  5. Create a folder named Loader in the game's Bin64 folder
  6. Copy the content of the dist foldder to the Loader folder you just created
  7. Copy SpaceEngineersLoader.py into the game's Bin64 folder (Linux-only)
  8. Set steam launch options to Loader\SpaceEngineersLoader.exe %command% (Windows) or ./SpaceEngineersLoader.py %command% (Linux). I recommend testing without any options, since this is an experiment
  9. Start Space Engineers

What is the furthest point the game runs?

When the Automatons update got released, I tried this again, and now it mostly works. Multiplayer does'nt, it crashes. Huge thanks to .NET 7 Torch for inspiration and scripting fix.
