To cut to the chase!!
1) why did my game change to experimental by itself, and is it doing it for anyone else?
2) if you can't start the game as it insta-crashes, try changing it to stable and back in steam. It might fix it for you too.
I had the stable version, as survival, for ages.
Around beginning of November? Maybe after October update, not sure, I started getting daily updates rather than monthly. I put that down to more work being done getting it ready for v1.
However after the latest issue where I couldn't load the game at all, and Obraxis commented about how experimental mode was currently broken, I checked in steam and it said experimental in the properties, beta part.
I never touched this before. I've never used console or cheated at all.
To put it back to stable, I changed it on steam, big download, and then it worked, as in, no crash on start, but I couldn't use the save game as it was well out of date. So I put it back to experimental.
The game starts yay! I still get a crash after about 15 mins, but at least it starts, with my save game and the terrain etc as I left it.
It means I'm in experimental again, but I don't know how to get to stable without losing my save game.
