It never ceases to amaze me that people expect others to somehow be able to help them with PC issues, without giving any details on either their hardware, OS, or detailing the issue.

Game worked fine for several hours of play.

Nothing on my PC changed.

Now clicking on any button past the new game or continue results in a fatal error sending me to a page where I have to alt-f4 as it becomes completely unresponsive. Reinstalling the game does not fix the issue.

You might want to send a report to [e-mail]

Crash your game and then include the output_log.txt to the report.

The output_log.txt can be found in the SunlessSea\Sunless Sea_Data folder.

Which is what I did.

The problem is fixed now.

If anyone else has this issue, send a report off, support is very quick to answer. If you want a possible quicker alternative, the solution they posted to me, go to:

C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games\Sunless Sea\saves

and delete autosave.json and rename the autosave backup to autosave.json (copy the folder before to be safe)

Playing the Steam version of the game will mean that Steam will download the old glitched savefile again, so you'll have to click 'load game' in the Sunless Sea main menu and delete the backup from there before playing.
