The game came released on Steam on 29th October, and since then, it has overwhelmingly positive user reviews.
Teardown crash during save issue
A few users have reported that they are getting a crash when trying to save the game. The developers are aware of this and have provided a few solutions.
Fix 1: Disable Controlled folder access
There is a good chance that Windows Defender is interfering with the game’s saving process. This is because of the controlled folder access feature. To disable it, follow the steps below.
- Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
- Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings.
- Under Controlled folder access, select Manage Controlled folder access.
- Switch the Controlled folder access setting to off
Fix 2: Add an exception to the antivirus
Sometimes, third-party anti-virus software may interfere with the saving process and not allow the application to make changes in a user’s folders. To fix this, simply add Teardown to the exclusions/folder for your respective antivirus software.
After one of these fixes, the game should start working properly again.
