Hey! Apologies for the late reply. I'm curious - do you still experience this issue? It's very weird :O

Firstly, I suggest verifying the integrity of game files: https://help.steampowered.com/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

Please also update your drivers: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

If it doesn't help, I'd be grateful if you could send us the zipped contents of your entire game saves folder. It's located here:

%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Eremite Games

You can send it to [e-mail] or on Discord[discord.gg]. Looking into the files might give us a better understanding of what's going on. Thanks!

Verifying integrity of game files fixed the issue.
