Build 42 won't load into world
Hi!

I've already played build 42 a few days ago but suddenly I can't load into the world. The game either flat out crashes or the computer stops chugging and the game hangs in a black void. I see that PZ uses slightly under 5 Gigs of RAM when the freeze/crash happens, whereas build 41 used less than 3 Gigs and ran just fine.

I'm not using any mods.
I have verified files and reinstalled multiple times.
I run the program on it's own (browser and major apps closed).
I have the newest Java.
I have made sure I have newest DirectX.
My graphics driver is the latest 566.36 version.
I run the game as admin.
I have Steam overlay disabled.
I have set exceptions for the game folder and user folder in win defender.
I have tried setting max ram to higher in the JSON but it did nothing.
I have tried lowering all graphics settings.

Still puzzled by how have I been able to play the game just fine when i bought it. That was 23rd of December, on the day of the 42.0.2 hotfix.

Log incoming.

It looks like I do not have access to the logs, can you share them again so I can access them?

Unfortunately I do not, you may need to set it so "anyone with the link can access the file" when sharing it.

Thanks it seems to work fine now. It looks like there is a memory allocation issue. Can you try using the "Alternate Launch" option when starting the game through Steam and see if that helps solve the issue?

Yes! It worked! Thanks for the consultation!
