An example of messages in the Warnings screen
Why is my game slow? When you install too many mods, or when you build complex structures with many Mechanical Blocks, or too many blocks in general, Space Engineers displays warnings to alert you to their specific impact on sim speed. Also when you enable Experimental mode in the game-wide Options, a constant reminder appears in the top right of your screen.
This screen is mainly applicable to single-player games.
There are different situations where you care for warning options:
- You might want to enable warnings before recording your screen when filing a bug report, to include this extra info.
- You might want to re-view the most recent warnings to debug a performance problem.
- You might want to disable warnings before taking screenshots or recording video.
- You might want to disable warnings because you are in singleplayer mode and your PC is able to handle what you build.
To review or configure warnings, open the Warning Options screen by pressing (SHIFT+F1 key).
The screen shows you all previous warnings since you loaded the world. Here you control whether you want to:
- Show warnings in game -- Show the warnings in the top left corner of the running game, or hide them.
- Show all warnings -- Make this screen show only the most recent performance warnings, or all since starting the game.
- Show all block limits -- Make this screen show only the most recent block limit warnings, or all since starting the game.
These visibility options apply to the whole game, not just to the current world.
For details about block limits, see also World Settings.
