Burglar Crashing Game

[Обелиск]

I have no clue what's causing it to happen or if anyone else is experiencing this bug, but anytime the burgler comes into my house and attempts to remove one of my paintings the game proceeds to crash.

Mine is doing the same thing. I have had two crashes and BOTH times were when a burglar attempts to steal an item.

Same here, it crashes on the vacation island too.

[Λούξορ (Luxor)]

Same thing

The game lets me save, I just can't see the save icon. Then I close the game and reload it. It seems to get past the crash when I do this and it picks up right from where it freezes.

same here

Same here. Cant even CTRL ALT DEL to close out the game. Have to restart. Praying for a patch soon cause this sucks

[Rands]

Burglar don't even spawn properly for me. The music plays then they just vanish.

[FedyaKruger]

same thing..

[neon from the matrix]

Same. So annoying to lose all that progress. Going to refund if it happens again. No excuse for such game breaking bugs with this price tag.

[Tabrune]

Same happens when burglar steal my stereo, breaks whole game.

I've solved this crash by opening the game in windowed mode. Just go to launch option and add "-w" and run the game. I was stuck since it just saved the game and the game was on a loop.

Came back with a similar lead

Coming back with a lead on why the game might be crashing so much.
I use a 5120 x 1440 monitor screen resolution, so I decided go and use an another screen resolution on the same monitor.
This time I loaded up the game while using 1366 x 678 display resolution. After testing the game 10 times where the Burglar enter the house I had zero crashes. I went back to my normal 5120 x 1440 Display resolution and the game crashes right away after the Burglar comes into the house to steal the item.
But the main issue is I play on a higher Display Resolution since it's easier on my eyes to read and play games.

Hopefully this is a good lead for someone to come up with a possible fix

Can anyone else post their display resolutions that are crashing? and if you have a save where the burglar enters the house can you test it to see if it crashes with a lower display resolution.

Yep this worked for me. I'm on 3440x1440 ultrawide and it was crashing. Alt + Enter to go into a small window and no crashes when the burglar picks up the item. Guess I'll get used to alt + enter every time a burglar turns up, treat it as some added jeopardy!

Thanks for the tip!

I'm glad that this worked, this might fix the random crashes that I was having in the vacation expansion pack too.
I'm not sure what exactly causes the issue over there since so many things are going on at once so i'll just run the lower screen resolution as I play for now.
