TSO is not loading (SBOX_FATAL_MEMORY_EXCEEDED)

[The_Sarmatian]

Hi!

I have logged into TSO today as usual. I did all buffs and when I was logging out , I remembered I forgot to send explorers out. So I clicked "login" button on main page of TSO again expecting to send the explorers I forgot about. However, it is not what I've got.

I got:
"
AW, SNAP!
Something went wrong while displaying this page.
Error code: SBOX_FATAL_MEMORY_EXCEEDED
"

I cleared all cache and cookies. It did not work.
I used the trick in Guides for faster loading time "--disk-cache-size=1000000000". Windows through at me some alert about administration, which I just clicked through, as it wasn't mentioned in the guide. It did not help either.
I tried to clear the Unity DB, but there in applications-indexedDB was no unity. was only /idbfs with timestamp inside.

I use Google Chrome. I do not understand what went wrong. I logged without issues at first. Now I get "AW, SNAP" time after time.

Help!!! Help!!! Help!!!

I think I fixed it somehow temporarily? I kept crashed "AW, SNAP!" web page untouched. I opened new tab. Loaded TSO main page and logged for a second time, while first login was still there crashed in other tab on my browser. TSO just loaded. I sent my explorers.

Anyone cares to explain what is going on there with my Google Chrome browser and TSO?

Hey sorry you got me I am no expert. However, I found https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/...ht=clear+cache useful. If you scroll down or jump to last post you will also see that the idbfs file IS Unity. I found the same using Brave Browser.

Hope this helps until an expert arrives

I logged in. No issues. TSO loaded just fine.
I logged off. Then I tried logging in. I got "AW, SNAP!" web page.
I tried today my work-around, by leaving the crashed window while trying to log in again. It does not work. I get only "AW, SNAP!" web page.
I pressed F12 and deleted /idbfs. On login I get "AW, SNAP!".

I hope an expert will arrive and cares to explain what is going on. Why I can not log in into TSO, directly after leaving it?
Why I get memory issue message? Why TSO is crashing?

Glad it's not just me. Laptop lost internet then when I rebooted I got the "aww snap" message. Have cleared all browsing data and cache. can get in for a few seconds before it boots me out again with aww snap!...

I found the devil causing the issue. McAfee web protection. It is a free application from McAfee on Windows. Now, I know WHY it is free. I uninstalled this application. Issue solved. I can relog now without restarting my Google Chrome.

Thanks Harlequin for the url. It helped me trace the issue and remove the cause.

Yeah, just reboot wont fix it. You need clear the Unity Database with F12 - application - indexDB - /idbfs (delete), close Google Chrome and literally reboot your entire computer. Unless you use the link Harlequin provided and trace the issue. It is something with virus protection.

BACK with the same error!

Someone applied PFB buff on my island and my game crashed. Now, I get repeatedly "sbox fatal memory exceeded" message on my Google Chrome. I can not even return the PFB buff to lone_wolfaka(I think).

Help!!!

After 10 minut of hard refreshes and computer reboots, I got to log in. No pfb detected. I swapped pfb with dragana. I still have no idea what happened for those 10 scary minutes.
