Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The game freezes occasionally. Since updating on Thursday (5 Nov) it's happened once per day. While I haven't yet pinned down a reproducible cause, each occurrence has been upon alt-tabbing back into the game from doing something else.

Upon alt-tabbing back in: the game's still running in some sense. I can move the cursor around, but time isn't moving, I can't click on anything, and if there's a popup (like if I'd moused over one of the info metrics at the top) it won't go away. Frozen.

Windows doesn't register it as an unresponsive program: it doesn't grey-out and popup an unresponsive popup, and Task Manager thinks it's running fine.

I have it set to full-screen borderless window, running via Steam on Windows 10. All DLC except Apocalypse and Necroids.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
unknown

Hi, thanks for the report. Is this occurring in a single save (and if so could you attach it?) or is it occurring regardless?

Whoops apologies for the delay! I tend to post and forget

Yep! Happening on the same save, though go figure that since I posted 5 days ago: it hasn't crashed once. But it's attached, in case it's of any help!
