Hey Captain, I apologize about the crashes you where having! While the game does encourage to look within the config file, I don't recommend tinkering with other files other than that one. Ill be sure to do a pass on the language we use in game and verify that for next update as to make sure people know not to go tinkering with bad files like createdump application (Which I am currently attempting to read into because I, Myself, do no know what you are referencing).

As for the password, I have laid out some big hints and helped explain the situation around that. In a future update please expect that to be less obtuse and difficult to obtain in the future.

I am aware of the blogpost, but found the hint insufficient.

As for the createdump issue, I open the program, close it, and then am unable to interact with anything besides the game. My cursor ceases to work on anything besides the game, most keyboard shortcuts cease to work, and for almost all purposes my computer is frozen, hence the need for a restart. Closing the game itself does not help.

OH! The crash dump EXE file, please do not run that. That is a .NET tool used to get crash logs generated if the Byte.exe file where to crash. Running that on it's own isn't safe and outside what our program does. Again I will verify next update removes any language referencing touching any files other than the config file.

To restate: Byte.exe is the only exe you should be running and save_Byte.cfg is the only file you should be editing. Sorry again for the confusion friend and I hope you have a good one!
