I was confused about where to post, so I started a new thread and was redirected to share my information here. So transferring it here:
I'm a new player, only bought the game a few days ago (after the 1.2 release), so I'm not as advanced in the game as others are, if that plays a role.
Reproduction Steps
When being automatically pulled up from diving at 23:00, the game freezes on the black screen and won't load into the next screen. I have tested waiting for up to 10 minutes before closing the game and restarting the day. I have tested both with fully active days and letting the days run without activity with no difference to the effect.
However, there does seem to be some sort of connection with fast travel directly to the water. My first experience with it was only after the first fast travel spot opened up for me, and on the day I tested that fast travel spot. I have now been able to reproduce this black screen freeze 2 more times, always after using the fast travel spot.
Every time I have entered the ocean from land, either by going to the docks by foot or by fast traveling to the docks and then diving, I have experienced no issue with automatically resurfacing at 23:00 and continuing the day.
Repro Rate
So far 3 out of 3 times I have fast travelled directly to the water and stayed until 23:00.
0 times out of 10+ dives from the dock have resulted in the error.
