Game Version: v0.10.0 (September 3 Update)

Platform: Steam (Windows)

Mods / Smart Zoi: Completely disabled / Removed

Hardware Specifications & System:

  • OS: Windows 11 Home Single Language 64-bit

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU / AMD Radeon Graphics (Integrated)

  • RAM: 16384MB RAM

:red_circle: Issue Description:

Following today’s September update (v0.10.0), the game launches and opens to the main menu just fine, but I completely fail to enter the actual gameplay phase. This happens on both existing saves and completely new games.

:clipboard: Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch the game through Steam (Launcher and main menu work perfectly).

  2. Existing Saves: Try to load any save (tested pre-April and newer post-April saves). It reaches the white loading screen, and then the game just completely closes to the desktop.

  3. New Game: Create a brand new character and world. Character creation works fine, but the exact moment I select a house on the world map to start playing, the game closes to the desktop instead of entering gameplay.

:white_check_mark: Troubleshooting Steps Already Tried:

  • Disabled all custom mods and assets.

  • Disabled Smart Zoi completely.

  • Verified game files via Steam.

  • Restarted the PC.

:warning: Additional Notes:

My PC fully meets the system requirements, and I was playing the game normally right before this update. This is a complete blocker preventing me from playing at all. Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated!
