Fix for crashing game while saving

[Dublity]

Hello everyone,
Schedule 1 crashed every time I saved after restarting the game, even though it worked fine the first time. I found the error and was able to fix it without reinstalling Windows. (Seemed to be the only solution so far?)

Cause:
In the savegame folder, there is a file called
Appearance.json
under the following path:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves\<SteamID>\SaveGame_1\Players\Player_0\

This file contains information about your avatar's appearance. The game loads this file at startup, but saves it incorrectly – probably because a so-called ScriptableObject is created internally with new instead of ScriptableObject.CreateInstance(). This causes Unity to crash when I save again.

Perhaps only certain appearance characteristics are affected – and therefore only certain players and not all.

My current solution:
1. Quit the game
2. Navigate to the path mentioned above.
3. Back up and delete the Appearance.json file
4. Start the game → load the old save game → saving works again.

Optional: You can customize your avatar in the game, and it will then save properly.

I hope this helps someone. The problem was really frustrating.
