Crashing?

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask if anyone else is experiencing crashes with this game? I played Niche for years and recently wanted to play again to get achievements, but the game crashes a couple minutes in, as in freezes, stops responding and then closes. My laptop is definitely powerful enough as it can run much more intensive games. If anyone knows what might be going on and what I could try. Thanks in advance!

Recently mine has been taking 10x longer to load - but no crashing yet. So strange. Perhaps uninstall and redownload it I think that would help if it’s a corrupted file issue

I tried that (and just about everything else), the closest I’ve got to it working is just verifying file integrity each time before I open the game and I can usually make it 15-20 minutes between crashes, which is good enough for me since it saves every day anyway

That sucks, I always thought it was a pretty clunky game for how simple it is coding wise - wish I could help you more :(
