EchoXDust Posted December 30, 2025 Share Posted December 30, 2025 If you didn't know already, there is a new bug introduced in the new Winter Feast update. Any new worlds made in this update will have a bug where your game would crash at a specific time in Winter. For me, it was Day 93 at dusk. As far as I know, this crash always occurs when it is mid-dusk on any given day in Winter. Rec existing worlds, and now I have to make another world on an older copy of DST. Just so I can get past that glitch. Or disable Winter, which I don't want to do.

Someone else here also had this problem and said it was possibly Klaus or presents that were causing the bug. So I rollback one of the maps I had before I killed Klaus and it worked for me. It no longer freezes at specific times. Maybe your problem is similar? Have you faced Klaus or opened any presents in your save recently?

Keep in note that Klaus spawns outside of Winter during Winter Feast. The world always crashes at the same time of day, only in Winter. I think disabling events might help, I haven't tested it out yet. Any new world I make has to be in offline mode, because this version of the game cannot properly connect to Klei servers.

HejTyHejhula Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I experienced the same issue on Xbox, just on a different day. My game kept crashing at the exact same moment during Winter (for me it happened earlier, around Day 82). The crash always occurred at the same time of day. I managed to get past it by rolling the world back to autumn and temporarily disabling seasonal progression, leaving only the day cycle enabled. I’ve progressed a few days since then, but I’m hesitant to change the settings back yet.

I hope this doesn't plague new servers permanently, even if they fix it, I hope they implement the fix to already existing worlds. I will try your fix, thank you.
