My game keeps getting stuck on the title screen, with the "Connecting" box going on for ages before it all crashes. I've sideloaded it and checked the folders, no prompt to update or download it, so that shouldn't be the problem.

I posted these tips in Discord the other day, see if any of this helps!
- You do need to be close to your wifi point as the Playdate's wifi radio seems pretty weak.
- I've found that resetting my router/access point sometimes helps
- You could try fully restarting the PD (Settings->Restart Playdate)
- Failing all that, if you're able to connect your PD to a PC with the simulator running (simulator comes with the SDK) you can see the console logs for the game, might be something in there.
- You could try renaming your save game and creating a new character to see if that helps. Again, only if you can connect your PD to a computer, but go into data disk mode and find the com.garethiw.pq folder and rename it. The game will then boot up as if it was a fresh start. If that works, I can help you get your character back if you want to.
