Huh. It used to happen consistently across multiple different starts I had, but for some reason it doesn't crash now on the first day, no matter what schedule I seem to make. I wish I had taken a picture of the error image when it did crash those few times, but whatever.
I did, however, find another glitch where, if at the start of the game (if you skipped the intro/tutorial), you leave camp and then immediately come back before the message that your character says at the start of the day, it lags a bunch and then your character freezes where you can't do anything. It's a minor glitch compared to the one that causes the game to crash, but I still can't figure out what caused that one, so whatever.
