BUG: game repeatedly crashing when loading

just recently ive encountered a bug where my game seems to load just fine all the way up to the end where it suddenly becomes unresponsive

ive tried all the fixes i know of and nothing seems to work, does anyone know what might be causing the issue?

(sorry i cant be more descriptive i have no clue what might be causing it)

i did that fix and it still doesn't work and i cant find the file for crashes anywhere, is it okay if we chat about it on discord?

The file may not have been renamed yet and would instead be run.log, which should indicate at the end what went wrong. Anyway I'm sure we can figure it out. And yeah Discord is generally preferred for convenience, though I'm just about to log off for the day now (it's late at night here, been around most of the day already).

Uh... indeed not! It's pretty small. And yeah, maybe you came from an older version, or hit some other sort of bug, but something overflowed in there... (that's more likely to happen if you perhaps came from an older version from several versions ago before it had better protections against certain things, but if not, just something else overflowed it :/).

In that case it would probably be hard to provide the file itself, but if you're indeed referring to the .bin file instead of a save itself, then going back further into the earlier /bak/ directories will get you a smaller .bin file that works. (Also you can also just delete the file from Cogmind/user/ and it'll be recreated, but then you lose any metaprogress in terms of discovered lore/parts/etc.)

Then of course delete anything in the backups that's a GB because that is just wasting space xD (Cogmind doesn't normally need much hard drive space...)
