game no longer runs, im certainly not the only person reporting the same issues, should probably be removed from the store at this point. happy to change my review if devs can fix the current issues but until then nobody else should suffer the same fate :(
Unfortunately the game no longer works. Initially the game will run fine, but at some point, maybe after 30min of consecutive play, the game will start crashing. The screen will turn solid black, game sounds will continue, but you can't do anything. The only thing that works is ALT+F4. Once this crash happens the first time, the game will crash every 5-10min thereafter. Starting a new game, changing settings...
Pretty much unplayable. Would not load at first! I finally got it to load and it crashed many times on title screen. When I did get to make a character, I got to play for 2 minutes until the game froze while still hearing game sounds. I force close and reload. Now back to it crashing before I get pass the title screen again. When I do get to play my world, it lasts anywhere from 20 seconds to 5 minutes before it...
