I recall either myself or someone else posting about this issue a while back. Randomly the game will softlock itself when going to journal. I can never purposefully replicate the glitch, so it appears to be completely random. The series of events that led to the crash were: traveling from southern harvest valley to the river, losing the fight against the witch, accidentally clicking journal when trying to load my save.
I can post my save if it would help, though I'm not sure what good it'll do. I tried replicating the events twice and both times clicking journal does not lead to a crash. I'll attach the picture of what the softlock looks like.
