Too many hotfixes I can't keep up lol.
Seems the save system needs some compatibility though. I thought it was just a conflict with the old system vs how it works now, but every update I've had a weird start up where several menus are open and all the values are set to 99999999.
That's right! The new save system is not compatible with the previous progress. My suggestion is to enter the game, even if it appears that way, and go to Settings >> Data Settings >> Erase Progress, to ensure that you start the game with fresh and new data.
Alternatively, you can: run execute (win + R), type %appdata%..\LocalLow look for the NightGames folder, and delete it. This will completely reset the game without any errors.
