Hey guys, I've seen increased reports of the game crashing in recent weeks, and I believe that the culprit is a recent update to certain anti-virus programs that are reading this game and its save files as viruses. I'm not sure why certain scanners do this. I use AVG and it's never given me a problem with any games I've made.
If your game is crashing, please see this thread:

Unfortunately there isn't much that I can do to prevent this from within the game. You will need to either grant permissions to the game, or tell your anti-virus program not to scan it. Disabling your anti-virus program is also an option, but I can't recommend that. It would be much better to just tell your anti-virus scanner not to scan this game and to allow it to create save files.
But please read through this information before quitting the game or giving up on it. Chances are, there is a solution for you! :)
