Issue description

The game is freezing and crashing to desktop after the latest update.
It seems to be a random crash. I have been doing anything to consistently cause the crash.
The only potential thing i can think of is I had a train line (named Iron) were I had just removed the station prior to the update but had not deleted the line.

Attaching two saves on from prior to the update and one post update.

Reproduction steps

unknown will intermittently happen sometimes a few min after loading in sometimes much longer.

Game version and build number

V0.8.3a(b578)

Operating system

Windows

Disable Windows Automatic Updates: A common cause of instability on the 9070 XT is Windows "force-installing" a different driver version over your Adrenalin software. You can use the Microsoft Show or Hide Updates tool to block this. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) in Safe Mode to wipe old drivers before a clean install of the 26.3.1 package. Some 9070 XT cards experience voltage spikes. Reducing the Power Limit by -10% or lowering the Max Frequency by 100-150 MHz in AMD Adrenalin has stopped random crashes for many users. Use the Verify integrity of game files option in Steam to ensure no assets were corrupted during the update. Disable the Discord Overlay, Steam Overlay, and AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR), as these are frequent causes of Unity engine crashes on high-end AMD cards. Upgrade to Windows 11, 10 is outdated.

Disabling the discord and AMD overlay and restarting appears to have sorted the issue. Thanks for your help.
