Your save file may have gotten corrupted. Go into your Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file. After relaunching the game, it should create a fresh save file and hopefully fix the issue. You will unfortunately lose your progress, but the game should function properly now.

Ah, UE4 games are usually packaged with OpenSSL for some reason, which causes issues for some folk. Feel like I heard a couple other UE4 games having this issue as well so at least I feel a little better about it not being a me thing, LOL. But if I ever do find a way to remove it from past, present and future games, I certainly will. At the moment, the only bandaid fix for this is to disconnect from the internet and launch the game.
Surprisingly only took me a month to figure out the basics, but of course, I'm still learning so much even after five years of using it. Best tip I can give is looking up UE4 horror game tutorials on Youtube, it's where I learned the ins and outs of it. Better than just reading documentations that's for sure, haha.
Create a sphere, input coordinates to 0,0,0, make the size 2000 on x,y,z, create a material that you want to be your sky texture and make it a two-sided material by clicking the little checkbox on the bottom left that says two-sided. Once you've done that, apply the material to the sphere, disable cast shadows on the sphere and disable it's collision. You should now have your own custom skybox.
Ah yeah, once you use a cheat code that unlocks something, it marks you as a cheater permanently unless you start a newgame. Only cosmetic cheats won't do that, like the swearing cheat. Only activate the actual cheats if you're planning on using them, otherwise there's no need to activate them. Unlocking them is perfectly safe though. Sorry if it wasn't clear in-game. D:
Looks like a D3D error. Usually when folks run into this, I link em' this potential fix. Might be worth taking a look. https://www.reddit.com/r/playark/comments/7l2qcw/aberration_unreal_engine_is_exi...
It was edited in the latest update to reflect the cancellation of this update, "Berry's story continues in Strange Terror From The Deep and beyond the nothingness..." In technicality it wasn't a lie since Berry is already in STFTD, just nothing significant to his story happens with him. He's heard in the vents (as seen in Around the Clock) and you can find his plush hidden in the map. The new teaser message basically reflects the change that he's still in STFTD but his story will continue in future games. I can understand if folks are upset about this, I do genuinely feel bad and wish I hadn't teased the update, but I never predicted that I would feel crushed working on it, especially considering how dated the project file was. It just became more apparent that I had to rebuild the game from scratch due to how unoptimized it was.
It might be that your save file somehow got corrupted. Go into your Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file. After relaunching the game, it should create a fresh save file and hopefully fix the issue. You will unfortunately lose your progress, but the game should function properly now.
