That's what's happening to me too and I already still die ( havent even had the game a week) and I finally get to a place I like or can work with, with materials I've actually some how manage to find, only to have all my progress erased as if I had died while logged off, today i managed to actually log on and still had my stuff and i was so excited to play, game crashes after ten minutes, I log in and I was a freshie.. I was so bummed I decided not to play
