Do you have any mods in the game? If so, you could try deleting them from the 88849 folder and then try restarting. ---

You can also try this solution which has just been discovered by a user: > [@\[Technical Issue\] Crash to Desktop When Entering World](https://forum.playinzoi.com/t/topic/11117/3): > > ❗PLEASE TRY THIS METHOD​❗ > > Go to options, on the bottom left corner, click “Reset to Default”, once that is done, click apply, quit the game and relaunch. > > My game now loads past character creation to enter the world, fully load and PLAY. I did discover if you enable smartzoi after doing this method, it seems to break the game so possibly that is breaking the game. ---

This is crazy. It was something to do with the 11GB update. The game now starts, but the house I created has gone? Totally Disappeared? The zois are there, but are just hanging around in the corner of the plot? With every game that I saved is lost? I get a Loading Error, Data or Mod Mismatch. All of the Mods came from Canavs, and others from Curseforge, which I thought were Inzoi compatible. All other mods are verified? VERY ANNOYED WITH INZOI! IS THIS SORT OF THING GOING TO HAPPEN WITH EVERY UPDATE??? ---

Player-modified houses have been removed due to changes to property sizes, but they have not been deleted. You can find them in Build Mode, by selecting the auto-save box. However, they may need to be modified due to the change in lot size. Mods have been disabled for the update, but that message does not cause any problems. The save still works fine, you just won’t have the mods in the game until you enable them again. ---
