I am currently playing the official release of alpha 4 on steam and whenever I start a new settlement everything works as normal for about the first minute. Then the game will freeze and if I attempt to click on anything then there will be a popup that says stonehearth is not responding. Ive tried to make multiple settlements and this happens every time. I am playing stonehearth on my desktop computer which has an AMD Radeon 7870 graphics card and 16gb of ram in case that helps.

A repeat of this perhaps?

> Hi, The game freezes for about 30 sec in game. Sound is still running, and the mouse pointer can be moved, but the rest is completely frozen.

No worries 🙂 a few other people were having the same, if not similar, issue. Glad it works now!
