this is going to be hard to explain but the game breaks down quiet often on me. Typically this in the form of not being able to generate a new map/creating a new char with out crashing horribly. More recently was a problem where the save game lost its map data, IE I press M and everything is just a field and starting a new game threw an error message “could not find shelter” and spawning a wilderness only map. Typically i solve this by just deleting all the files and unzipping the game again but I am having to do this a couple of times a day now (mainly because my char only survives like a day and a half at best)
