I down loaded alpha 5 and that fixed my no ground issue. I played a little while in A5 then opened A6 to see if there was ground. My save carried over and everything worked but the items that were disappearing and coming back stopped coming back so any invisible items would still get picked up only to be deleted immediately. I was only at lvl 8 so I tried a new save file. right after the first lvl up i got a fatal error. Still very excited to see progress made on this interesting game!
