### Summary

I believe this may be due to a corrupted save file but I don’t know how to fix it or where to report so I’m going to try here. I’m using the latest version of the game. I don’t know if this is reproduceable or not, because what happened before was I was stuck walking forward, no keyboard inputs would work. Unable to alt f4, or any other windows commands.

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Gameplay

### Steps to Reproduce

Basically, I have a save where I am at the construction site, however upon attempting to continue the save, the entire game crashes.

### Expected Result

The game opens and runs

### Observed Result

Full game crash

### Affects Versions

5.8

### Platform(s)

Windows
