  Just popping in to give an update. Got some play time today in live mode, no issues. I went into another lot to do a build... froze about 5 minutes in. Started to get some weird flashy type stuff on the screen and when I went to toggle back to the desktop, the previous lot I was playing in live mode showed up briefly which is super weird because I wasn't playing that lot anymore. It's like it was imprinted on the screen somehow... makes no sense. Anyone see this happen? I ended up having to force quit as per usual.

    @aftksims I have had this too... When the game freezes and I switch back to my desktop, an image of a previous lot or even sometimes the game startup is suddenly visible).
    
    I've been playing in a legacy save for my simblr the past few days and there appear to be lots that seem to trigger the issue more than others...
    
    I'm just hoping that today's patch brings a solution to this issue...
