Crashed to home screen after leaving Paul and Anne's house

[umbral slate]

On Xbox series s, summer 21st year 2 around 1pm. Game cut out to Xbox home screen.

I had just left the house of Zoe, Anne, Paul and Mark. Game lagged/froze with my character stuck on the stairs going down away from the house, then went to Xbox home screen.

I had done a lot of farming, ranching, and was doing my usual walk island foraging, catching stuff, giving gifts to those I saw on the way, but had also happened to trigger about 4 cut scenes with different characters, as I continued my way around. I had decided to go into few buildings including Emma and Dippas' house before Paul and Anne's when the game crashed.

Such a lot of work and progress wasted, especially with the cut scenes I now have to try and get again.

Hello @umbral slate. I'm really sorry you have to experience a crash in our game, and thank you for reporting it. Can you tell me, before you had the crash, how long you have been playing in a day (real-time)? 🙇‍♀️

Hi, thank you for getting back to me.
I had been playing for a couple of hours I think, stopping to use the menu here and there I think. Had just been on that one in game day though.

I managed to redo the day and save without it crashing, however it still has difficulties when leaving Paul and Emma's house - really lags, freezes, but hasn't kicked me out to the home screen again.
I have also had in game days where I've also had multiple heart events, which didn't crash later on.
