-If you encounter a Fatal Error crash, that is due to a corrupt save, caused by the new update. The update includes a lot of changes/fixes so it may cause some old saves to break. To fix the issue you need to create a new game and the game will fix itself.

Please leave bugs in discussion area or game bug report channel in the discord so they can be fixed.
