Hello @fair valve. Sorry to hear the game crashed right when you were about to continue your co-op save, that’s frustrating!

Could you share a video of what happens when you try to open the save file and the game crashes? That would really help us understand the issue better 🙏

Thanks a lot for sharing the video, it’s really helpful for us to see the issue 🙏
This has also been reported by other players here: https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1412339981787070465 and we’re still investigating the cause

To help us narrow it down, could you let us know:

• When was the last time you played the game in real time?
• What activities you were doing before this happened?

We last played on September 15th.

I believe we finished the fire mines in our last session. We got our first pigs as well, and our barn was at full capacity. Other than that, nothing major that we can recall.
