Symptoms

Crashes on end of day. The game runs on a day by day cycle where after every mission you go to bed and change days. Whenever you try to go to sleep, it hard crashes freezing the deck and requiring power cycling.

Crashes on loading saves

Crashes on manually saving

Save file paths move around preventing syncing Game moves save file paths move around constantly for seemingly no reason when tweaks are made. HOWEVER I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEV PROBLEM. I just mention it to be thorough.

-- People are reporting contradictory fixes which seem to work for some including forcing dx11 or pining the clocks at 1400mhz, but in general, for most, the game is too unstable to be playable. It's a shame since it works fine in between crashes. It's a stability problem, not so much a performance one, though its not great either.

Reproduction

End of day crash: Finish a mission and send the player character to sleep Crash on loading/saving: Can happen when doing either. Inconsistent

An additional issue is cloud saves. What happens is that your game saves go into a folder called Saved_Steam_[your steam userid] but the folder that gets cloud saved is just Saved_Steam_

It's fixable by just deleting Saved_Steam_ and making a symlink from Saved_Steam_[userid] to Saved_Steam_

So my theory is that Steamworks (maybe) is failing to get the userid at some point.
