I downloaded the game through the Itch client. I did in fact try to redownload it, but lost my save in the process. Which was fine, I was only an hour in anyway.
In any case, version 0.51.2 does not have the crash anymore. 😁
Glad to hear there's no crash now! FYI, saves are really easy to move or backup: in the main folder, you'll see files like "Save01.rvdata2" that can be moved wherever you like.
