Patch notes
Crash fix: Game should no longer crash when audio output is changed from a device with a higher number of channels to a device with a lower number of channels (i.e. 5.1 speakers set to headphones)
Crash fix related to Tough Reinforcements modifier, occurring during the last wave of enemies upon loading back into the level
Crash fix related to loading back into the Horizon Divide level while the Snake modifier was active
Crash fix attempt related to buying the Trigonometry Chart artifact in some circumstances
If it still happens to you in 1.0.2, please let us know and kindly provide logs & saves
