Mixing Mania (Renamed product crash - potential fix)

[Lunisford]

I encountered a bug that caused my girlfriend's game to crash as soon as she opened the mixing bench.

The bug seems to be triggered by renaming the end product. The renamed product turned into a white square. When I tried to remove the main ingredient, my game froze aswell.

After that, I was unable to reopen the game. I was stuck on a fixed image after the loading screen(After Loading data), though I could still hear the game running behind while having 2 giant black dots under the compass and behind the mission quick track. On top of that my girlfriend was able to rejoin, but there were no messages on the phone or missions, and I wasn’t considered as being in the game since I hadn’t fully loaded in.

I tried multiple solutions—running the game as an administrator, creating a new save, changing settings, removing player data, and more.

What finally worked for me was
1: creating a new save and opening the save (skipped prologue)
2: close down the game
3: Move all the save files from the original save to the newer one
Except the one named Products.
4 Re-opened the new save with the new file.
___
Mission, product on the shelves, items in the inventory, character skin/clothe.
Only thing , all the products weren't listed to be sold and we had some original furniture that were duplicated to their spawning location.
