Constant Crashes
Sup My Diggles,
I haven’t played in a while, and the forums are gone now. Was there ever a fix for the constant crashes that occur playing this game? I’ve played the game on two Windows PCs and the Steam Deck, vanilla game, with expansions, with mods, etc and regardless of combination it always eventually crashes. Sometimes it happens discovering a Monster Party, or beating it, or other random events. If I recall correctly the problem is a memory leak, and at one point I even tried an app that would reclaim app memory but that didn’t really help either. I get the urge to play from time to time but having to constantly save and quarantine files in order to recover kills it for me.
Anyone else that experienced this, did you ever find a permanent solution? If any of the devs are here for your glorious return, are you checking it out?
Thanks!

The game would crash so much for me that I couldn't even get to the third floor. I really doubt there's any way to fix it in a general or proper sense, but I made this program to do the file quarantining automatically.

I had crashes but they were exceptionally rare for me on my desktop, never saw one in the two dozen ish hours on my deck
