I believe I encountered a crash as well... I was carrying the... case thing? And a worm was exiting the rear and the game crashed. I'll see if it happens again.
Edit: Yep! Same thing happened, same crash.
That might be from a similar coding error- see if it's fixed now!
It appears to be fixed! Will report otherwise if it happens again, but good work with the hotfixes so far. ^_^
