[qtherocknrolla]

Describe the bug

upon creating a new world and starting a new game, the game freezes at the "Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead" loading screen and crashes when i press escape, waited for freeze to resolve to no avail.

not using mods, vanilla only. i have also completely uninstalled all files and downloaded off github 2x just to make sure before i came here and complained.

Attach save file

N/A

Steps to reproduce

create new vanilla world named "Try Not To Die!!!" without mods.

start a new game-create custom character-loading screen appears and freezes screen and when escape is pressed crashes the game and closes it out

Expected behavior

i expect to start a new game with a new character like usual and game loads and goes to the character creation screen but freezes and crashes instead

Can you zip your /config/ folder and upload it here? You're not the first one to experience mysterious imgui assertion failures, but they really shouldn't be possible.

@qtherocknrolla the only way this crash can happen, as I see it, is that CDDA has encountered an error during loading, which would normally show the debug UI, but because ImGui hasn't finished initializing, ImGui then throws an error, "hiding" the original error.

I saw a crash.log under the folder dated October 5th, if this is the crash.log generated with this behavior, then it looks like the "real" error is this:

MESSAGE: Invalid enum string 'character_attempt_to_fall_asleep' for 'event_type'

Can you verify this is what's happening? i.e. can you delete the file config/crash.log , cause the crash, then attach the generated config/crash.log?
