Resolved Wargroove 2 using massive amounts of memory and stalling/crashing

I've been playing Wargroove 2 for several months. Starting on January 17, whenever I start Wargroove 2, the game slows down to unplayable after a handful of inputs (I can get into the opening screen of a battle in Campaign or Conquest mode and that's about it), and soon crashes. Windows Task Manager shows massive memory usage -- 3GB, then 5GB; the highest I saw it get to was 27GB of RAM usage (I have 32 GB of RAM on my PC). I am playing the Steam version on Windows 11. I do use the cloud save backup feature through Steam.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game (no change). I uninstalled and reinstalled it onto a different drive (no change). I verified the files of the installation on Steam; Steam said they were all fine.

Any advice? Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks. I've uploaded the log.

 

I was able to contact one of the devs on Discord; this was fixed in a preview release (I switch to preview release on Steam).
