Based on what I've read, in this log and in comments, the game's "fixed version" requires you pay, but the fixed version is worse in some cases because it straight up crashes.
I came here from 0.964, my problem was the infinite loop that destroyed my game and compromised all my saves outside my room, even on separate playthroughs.
I am not able to spend money easily and I can't in good sense pay for a version that seems to have fixed my problem but makes an even bigger one by making the game unplayable from the start.
I feel we all will need to wait until 0.970 to fix these problems.
