I am still freezing up as soon as the name select appears. From the user side, it's functionally identical to the 39.3 update on DDG.

(I am personally willing to start over, which would make me more qualified to opine about the new progression and difficulty curves. If this is save game related, there's a non zero chance it's in nigh indiscoverable black swan event territory.)

Out of curiosity how long have you let the screen sit before giving up on it? I'm wondering if it's just loading save state data and some conflict is making the page slow, not actually crashing. It'd be good diagnostic data to have

I let it go between three and four minutes once, which I figured was due diligence. But I don't remember if that was post 39.4 release, so I'll try again

A quick test in the current version had 16 minutes without the buttons working.

Thanks for checking on that. Current version also has disabled background processes while the Handle dialogue is up so if it was a signal storm situation that should fix it. I'll keep poking, because I don't like not understanding, but I'm running low on ideas of why this might be happening.

Next patch is going to remove the pop up entirely and function on an opt-in system instead. If you're still having issues then we'll know it's completely unrelated to the name system, and if the opt-in causes issues you can skip it entirely.

Thank you. I'm back in.

I left during a 2ndary cycling, at the 'distribute your just earned TP' stage. That's a really particular time to save, maybe something about being in that step conflicted with the name selection process? (I don't know from the coding end, but metaphysically "I" am not an actual person at that step, so there's something symbolically pleasing about the issue occuring right there.)

Well, that timing actually destroys most of my ideas about what might have been going wrong. Having a name certainly isn't worth orphaning people's games. Thanks again for all the testing you did with this, and glad I could get you back into the game.
