Everytime i try to enter a new world, in patch1.7.10 the game crashes, and when i'm in the recent patch, i barely make it to the map but the game freeze and when i try to go back to the main menu nothing moves and i need to close the game with the task manager.
I bought it monday and I've never played it because of these bugs

The render distance has been set to an invalid value that isn't supported in older versions. There are instructions in that post to resolve this.
