Game Constantly Crashing at Same Time of Day on PS5 and PS Portal (Temp Fix in Comments)

Update: 

So unless they fixed this overnight while I was asleep (doubtful), I think I found a fix. In the main menu, I set all events to default then under Global Settings > Events > None. Loaded up the world that kept crashing, got to the same point it would crash and it didn’t.

I then waited for the next day while doing stuff at base, waited for at least 2 segments in the day clock, disconnected, saved, closed application. Opened the game again, checked the save registered, changed the ‘Events’ setting back to Auto, loaded the game and it didn’t crash. To test Winter’s Feast was working okay, I slept under a tree to see if I got gifts, I did and the limited-time skins for the event appear on the crating tab. 

I probably won’t be able to do much more testing today as it’s Christmas Eve irl. But if I do over the holidays and something drastic happens again, I will report back. 
 

Merry Christmas!

I’m really glad to hear that! I was very sad when it started happening to me and knew that Klei might not issue a fix for a while because of the holidays. It was my last attempt at trying to recover my long term world and I was so relieved when it worked. 😊

I tried this, and it worked for my 123 days world, however it doesn’t work on my long term 4000 days world

At least I was able to play, cause even PS4 version suffers the same bug. Hopefully they’ll fix it, so I can build and test things out again on my long term world.

Thank you for sharing ☺️

Oh that’s unfortunate. 😞 On your long term world, have you tried setting the Events to None and just playing for a few days without turning it back on? In any case, it may be a crash unrelated to Winter’s Feast. 

Hopefully this bug can be fixed and prioritised when Klei are back from the holiday period. 

This worked on my offline world Day 3127! Thank you so much!!! (Xbox Series X)
