I think the game can still be enjoyed even with the bug as is. I discovered this after I started randomly teleporting all over the place after loading. I just started saving in a new slot and deleting the old save after. It doesn't take a whole lot longer and the game is certainly nowhere near unplayable.
Actually not for me. My last save game, which is about one and a half hours beyond the last auto-save, will not load anymore. In fact none of my save games will load at all. I am completely unable to play. I can only hope that the patch resolves this issue too, or else all of my progress is lost.
