Hello Clare, thank you for responding. I do dump unwanted items into the abyss thinking it’s less items the game has to save I really don’t know if this helps my save or not. I don’t think its related to the freezing when saving issue. Since this issue started again after the 1.12 update, I’ve started numerus different saves and the game freezes up whether I dump into the abyss or don’t. On one save I started, I got to the starter island the only thing I did was collected all fibrous leaves, built a shelter and saved, the game froze on the very first save. On another save my starter island had a container ship so I had plenty of crates for storage, so I built container shelves (only as many as I needed) so when the game did freeze, I had nothing laying around, so I lost nothing however as you know I don’t have the resources on a starter island to do this every time as I came up short on wood for other things. I’m playing single player not online, when the game freezes the pause menu automatically opens, I can go to options put wildlife on passive this will unlock the game and I can go on with my current save to include saving again, however as I mentioned before anything not secured may be lost, anything that floats logs, starter crates etc. you may see floating in the water, swim around the island to look for things that don’t float crates etc. I also believe things I don’t interact with are not affected and will not be thrown everywhere. On one save there were a couple rocks and a crate that was above the water line in a rowboat that I had not interacted with were not affected. Sorry about the long response. One more thing after the game freezes there’s only one chance to go to options if I open the options menu then hit circle and exit out it won’t let you go back in you will be stuck. Thank You Clare. I hope this gibberish is helpful. I love this game I know the team is working hard to fix it. Anything else I can do to help please let me know.
