Welcome to the discourse @CaptTryMe !

Seems odd, could you perhaps upload your save so the devs can look into it? It should be where you installed your game

Paging @Brackhar @jamiltron (sorry i’m not sure which on eof you guys were in charge of those parts)

First two things to try.

1. Try updating your game to the latest version, which is 726.

If that doesn’t fix it, then

1. Uninstall the game, and reinstall it.

If neither of those help, then we should page someone. This could easily be caused by a messed up file, and updating it or reinstalling it would fix that.

That seems like caused by a translation mod or something?

Have you updated the game to the latest unstable (#729), @CaptTryMe? Did that help?
