Crash when xbox controller not plugged in

I figured out the fix, but wanted to let y’all know if you have not run into this.

I have been having the game close to the desktop when trying to load a saved game for the past few days. The crash happened as soon as I clicked on continue or when I clicked on load from the save game menu. But, I found the work around for this problem. A buddy and I started up another game which i needed my xbox controller for and played. When we were done, I tried Stonehearth again and it worked (the xbox controller was still powered on at this point.) I closed the program and went to another game with my buddy and after went back to Stonehearth it would not work. That’s when I made the connection. Currently, I have to have the controller powered up and running with USB connected (it is a wireless xbox one elite controller) to load a saved game.

Like I said, I didn’t know if you had run into this, but I wanted to make you aware. And it is possible that the problem is on my end also.

I can not upload because I’m a new user, but in the crash log these few lines stand out.
