    First, open Local Files: Screen Shot 2016-07-20 at 12.38.50 AM.png When you click "Browse Files" go to "giraffe_storage" and locate the Player folder (usually the first folder) Screen Shot 2016-07-20 at 12.41.52 AM.png
    Click and find the files called "Player" and "Metadata." Also, check for Shipworld or something close to that. After you locate these files, look for the duplicate files that have .bak1 after it. Screen Shot 2016-07-20 at 12.44.35 AM.png
    Delete the "Player" and "Metadata" files (Again, if you have Shipworld or Shipdata, go with the same procedure) Select the .bak1 files, press enter, and erase the .bak1 part of the name. NOT ALL OF THE NAME. ONLY DELETE THE PART THAT SAYS ".BAK1. Do this for both (or 3) then close the folder, and relaunch the game. THIS WAS TESTED ON UNSTABLE, NOT STABLE OR NIGHTLY. I'm confident it works for both, but it may not.
