Plagued by the same problem. Spyglass worked fine yesterday , now it crashes the game, i have no idea how is this allowed to persist for so long, i feel like this game has been abandoned in regards of bug fixes

Just started happening to me yesterday, too. This is unacceptable.

I've played off and on for years across both an Xbox and two PCs, and only just today I'm running into this. 

I can't find any actual help online. Most of the threads I'm seeing all blame it on the user's video card limits. I'm running this on a pretty decent machine with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, and it still crashes on me. All of my drivers are up to date and I've verified my game files.

It's never been an issue when playing online with a buddy in his game, but it's happening to me in my own single player game.

I'm going to keep looking for a fix. It shouldn't stop me from playing, but it's SO frustrating.

just encountered this issue yesterday and searching for fixes as well.  Tried a lot of things, but what it seems come down to is a corrupted save, or something like that.  If i spawn as a completely new player with a new player profile, new config settings, but with the same grid saves, and tribe profiles active, the spyglass causes crash.  However, starting a new game with no saves, a ton of mods, and literally any graphics settings will allow spyglass to work... looking for a type of workaround at this point and considering deleting old grid saves and seeing what that will do-- I'm in singleplayer.

edit-- after testing can confirm it is a corrupted grid save issue.  If I remove the last grid save i was in when the spyglass caused the crash, i can spawn somewhere else and use it.  But if I delete that save I lose my ship and my tames-- so what's the point...
