BUG FIXES

Fixed a bug which would cause certain GPUs to crash on attempting to load any texture file.
Fixed a regression bug which would sometimes cause "Vulkan Code: -4" crashes when loading into the world.
- A big thank you to John Lobotomite for their assistance in diagnosing and fixing these issues!
Fixed a regression bug where players would not be able to create a new save file.
- Thank you to Broster and TheGons!

DEVELOPER COMMENTS

Due to an oversight on our part, the latter two bugs were introduced due to a mistake in fixing the first bug. This was caused by insufficient testing, and we apologize for anyone who was temporarily unable to load the game when they were able to before. Please let us know in the forums if you encounter any other issues!

Thanks and have fun!
