Just a little tip for new patch users.

EDITED: If you're experiencing the known issue of starting a new save file and being unable to enter the mines, please see another users post on this subreddit! It is labeled with fix for mine bug or something along those lines because they've found a way to fix this!! Username that posted it is KitTheKitsuneWarrior to help you find it. I don't want to give incorrect instructions so please check their post, it should be easy to find. 🤍 Secondly, the main tip (that I can't guarantee will work but has literally been letting me play for 5 hours with no crashes so I guess use this tip with caution) is to frequently use the quick save. Do it at the beginning of the day and if it's not quick saving (which you'll know it's not working if you keep clicking it but stay in the pause menu - it should toss you back into the game unpaused if it works) then the day is borked and you'll more than likely crash & lose all progress at bedtime. I've found this to be the repeated red flag in the few crashes I had immediately after updating with the patch, but I would usually try quick saving mid day or right before bed & when it wouldn't work say "oh well I'll just go to bed and it will save" lol NO it always crashed at bedtime if it wasn't properly quick saving. So I've started quick saving at the beginning of the day to make sure it works, if it doesn't, force reset the game, and it's been working like a charm! Smooth as butter using this method 🩷 I also suggested one on one to a few people to try uninstalling & reinstalling their game if this method didn't work and they reported back that it worked! So that's a fix for some users too. I'm so genuinely sorry for the people whose games are still unplayable, but I figured I would pass this tip along as I've had zero issues using it. Hope it helps some folks! 🙏🏻💙
