It wont load past the title screen

I have also found that it works with certain save files. In my case, however, it is the older save files that work (see picture). Whenever I remove my most recent save-file (the file with the 11), everything loads normally. However, if this most recent save is in the save folder, the game crashes. 😟

In addition, a folder named “scratch” is always created in my save folder. I don't know what this folder is all about.
