Save Game Crash

Issue description

A number of times the game crashes, usually around time when it tries to do an Auto Save.

This time the save function crashed, but not the game. I was unable to manually save the game either. I was given an undefined object error.

I have attached a screen capture of the error.

Expected behavior

I expected the game to save either by overwriting an existing file or by saving a new file.

Reproduction steps

Unable to assist. The game randomly does this. The undefined object error is the first time it has happened to me and I do not know how to reproduce it.

Game version

v0.4.9c

This sometimes happens with Windows Ransomware Protection being on

This can prevent the application from accessing the Documents folder. Could you check and see if that is on? If so, turn it off and see if the issue persist.

Hi Zuff-Coi,

I have just verified that the controlled folder access is off.

I have also found the crash dumps that may assist

Thanks wik0007, I've escalated this to the team.

There is definitely something bad happening. And I have not seen this before.

Could you please provide us your save files that are hitting this? I for instance see "22-08-08_13-05-autosave.save"

I can see the following in logs:

I'm getting the same error. Sadge.
