changedJose speaking -I've promoted the 0.7.39b version from beta to default. I haven't had any issues after extensive testing, and several players have confirmed that it fixes the crashes in their systems.
addedIn case you wonder, the reason why this is 0.39b instead or 40 is because it's the same version feature-wise, but it's 64-bit. The reason why the game was crashing was simply that I made a script to automate builds and I made a mistake, writing -buildWindowsPlayer instead of -buildWindows64Player. This means I was making 32-bit builds of the game, which impose restrictions in memory that resulted in crashes. Unfortunately, in trying to find the cause for these crashes I investigated everything but overlooked the (32) in the Task Manager 😂 ( 😭 ) So, after a series of facepalms and "I can't believe it!"s (I really couldn't believe it), I uploaded a 64-bit build, and things went back to normal. In any case, the silver lining is that I've a.inspected the game in detail, optimized several elements (more improvements to come), and b.made a priority of revising the save system (credit goes to the fantastic new programmer on board!). The new save system will come in the next update, and hopefully there will no more 2 hours wasted because of a crash , if or when it happens again. I would like to thank everyone who's helped navigate this situation for their patience and kindness. I'm incredibly happy that it's solved, and I hope you'll enjoy the game and have the best of times these Holidays.

PS. I'll try to find time next week to write a recap and a "things to come next year"; If I don't, it's because I'm swamped with work, but rest assured, there's lots of progress and I'm doing my best so you can see it asap.
