Regarding the Issue Preventing Save Data Loading
We have identified the issue causing some players to be stuck on the main menu and unable to load their saves. This issue is caused by changes made to the save system in the new version, which prevent certain saves from being loaded correctly in some cases. (The save files themselves are not corrupted.) If you encounter this issue, please report it through the bug report system or contact the development team directly via Discord. We are currently working on a fix, and the issue should be resolved after the next patch update.Read full article on Community Announcements (NoBody)Patch NotesOfficial
