thank you for the reply! I realized this shortly after! A fool I am!

Cannot sleep (see video). No events are ongoing, the game just kicks me out of sleep every time. 

Thanks for the replies folks. It's odd that he would appear in Ambient mode, but I guess test build gonna test build! I will give the brew a try

There is a wandering angry critter on ambient mode in PA 8.2.
He is quite fast once he sees the player (and then won't leave them alone), and his model is ghostly has a knife. After stabbing he teleports away to repeat the process.

He seems to appear when the Krampus event occurs, but as I've never encountered Krampus (an event which happens every night, even on Ambient) due to the magic of the new debug commands, it's possible this creature only spawns at night. 
(thank you DrNose for those new debug commands, being able to del.Krampus and scrape the event off the map in this mode is a life saver)

This creature sometimes disappears after a reload, but always comes back. He is persistent and annoying, sometimes camping the bedroom and preventing sleeping by stabbing the player every time they try to sleep. 

The glitch isn't consistent, and I have not been able to re-create it. 

also, I am a fan of the patch updates rather than redownloading apps

32Gb RAM, 2x1 TB ssd, 3.6 ghz 8core cpu, GTX 650 gpu.

Not something that should have an issue with the app 

Okay, another update. it looks like because the app was trying to use more than 100% of the available RAM, and the system was being used at the same time, it caused the automatic paging file allocation in Windows to go absolutely nuts and allocate uh... 82GB of disk for it. To me this implies that itch was trying to glom up nearly 100GB of RAM at some point? (the 22 GB free that it ate up, plus this 82?) 

Whether that's a correct assumption, this shouldn't have happened.
 

update: it's only been about 60-70GB, but it's still an astronomical amount

After closing the Itch app this morning, I woke up to a sluggish PC. A quick inspection revealed the above. 

I immediately closed it without thinking to check which process of the app was still running. I recently noticed that the hard drive upon which Itch lives was suddenly missing 100+ gb space. I could not find the files that were created, and I am very concerned about this sudden and quite aberrant behaviour.

it's very odd that it was still writing to disk at the time. 

It had crashed a few times when clicking a creator's twitter link, but I didn't notice any lingering processes. 

y-you can use multigrab to sell!?? Can you move many purchased items like that too? :o
