My game crashes if I pause the game for more than a minute or two. I have kids so I will play and then need to pause and come back 5-10 minute later. The game has frozen at that point. Windows then recognizes it as not responding. I try "Waiting for it to respond" a couple of times with no change before ending the process.
No logs are created in %appdata%/StardewValley/ (No error log folder seems to exist, so I assume the folder is created on first use.)
Steam, Fresh Install, Patched up to the latest (as of ~4 something today)
New game was started today, no mods or etc.
Windows 10.
I use bluetooth audio (Trekz Titanium Headset) and Bluetooth Controller (Switch Pro Controller)
The computer isn't attempting to sleep or etc. based on my settings. (Laptop, plugged in and set to best performance and never sleep/hibernate.)
As I started writing this I started wondering if perhaps the controller auto-shutting off had anything to do with it. I'll see about testing that somehow and update this post if I have anything to share.
EDIT: I do believe the controller is related to the crash. If I enter the game and use mouse/keyboard I'm able to pause and leave it and come back without issues.
I tried turning the controller on after using keyboard/mouse to pause and no issues there.
Tried pausing with controller and leaving it and coming back/turning contoller back on and it was frozen again.
Tried manually shutting controller off and then coming back and turning back one and it seemed to be ok. (Confirmed this twice. This may be my workaround for now. Hopefully I remember each time.)
In conclusion, when the controller shuts itself off to save power, it seems to game reacts differently to that, or perhaps when it turns back on?

In fact, it seems to me like the game throws out all progress from the past few in-game days when this crash happens, not just the day you crashed on. Goodbye, Qi Beans..
