Hey folks, I've pushed out a hotfix for the fatal errors and crashes that occur when shattering a flask and also when on the main menu. The patch is live on the Beta branch aptly named "beta". Note that with this patch the collision sounds of the flasks will be somewhat odd but that's a very acceptable sacrifice if the crashes are no more there.
Those of you experiencing such crashes, if you could head over to your game's properties, opt for the beta branch, shatter a flask or two to test it out and let me know the results I'd be a very very happy developer. It should be a very small patch of about 18MBs. If it indeed solves the crashes I'll see about improving the flask collision sounds and push it to the default branch.
I've got a few ideas about why this may be happenning but instead of trying out all of them I'd like to refine the problem by trying one solution at a time for future reference. This means that even if this hotfix doesn't work, I'll still have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Been at this for a very long time after the release now so you may not hear from me for a few hours as I get some much needed sleep to refill my brain juices.
Awaiting your hopefully positive results!

Disregard this, the hotfix was a failure. Working on a new one.
