Recently posted was a way to pause and leave the game pressing AltTab. Well I tried seeing what happened in a Freeze situation as happened between wasted woodland and old village. I pressed AltTab and bug trap plus the loader appeared I pressed the X sign on the loader then bug trap and it took me to the desktop. If I had done it bug trap 1st perhaps the loader would have remained open. Maybe next time. I hope this helps others when the game freezes.
