Bug in winter

[LordeMao]

Hi, I wanted to report a problem that's happening with some maps I created. There's a really annoying bug happening in the game. I've already created two maps that I've been unable to progress through. The game simply crashes at the same time every winter; one map crashed on the 28 of winter at night. Now this other map crash is happening on the 29 of winter in the morning. I simply tried rolling back on the 27 and waiting until the 29 to see if it would crash (and yes, it did). I tried going to the cave to see if the problem was on the surface (nothing changed, it crashed there too). I don't know what it could be. Here are some videos of the moment it crashed. I recorded them on my phone because PlayStation doesn't allow recording the console menu.

I'm scared of the 28 and 29 now.

did you kill any boss like Klaus a few days before? Or opened some winter fests presents? 

I had a crash like this caused by the Khlaus fight, probably some of the items he dropped like adorments or lights idk. The game kept crashing at around 50% of the next day after I killed him. Then I rolled back before the fight didn't do it and the game progressed. Then just never touched klaus again obv. It's probably not the same issue for you but worth thinking about, I am definitely turning off winters feast for now tho

Yes, I faced Klaus on the 26 and opened the presents on the 27. Did that solve the problem for you? I'll try going back to the 26 before I kill him and deactivate the winter event. Hopefully it works, because it's a bit frustrating to lose a map that took me a long time to get 😕

YES, it worked perfectly, I managed to reach day 30, thank you

So it's Klaus or the gifts that are bugged.
