+1 to the general conversation and want to echo some of LeeM comments on sourcing if Devs see this thread. In my play through Gortash is still alive and I had just finished breaking in/destroying the Steelwatch Foundry. I then went to free the Gondians at Wyrm Rock Prison. I spent a couple hours replaying various items in prison including but not limited to different characters on the final cut scene load and saving/not saving Duke Ravenguard. Nothing worked, same 33% load crash error. Ok fine...lets pause saving the Gondians and just go kill Gortash. So after several hours of unaliving everyone in Wyrm Rock Fortress including Gortash, I still cannot load/return into the lower city with the exact same 33% error failure mode. So I think its correct that the Gortash antagonistic switch doesn't allow you to reload into the Lower City. I would test trying to load all the way back to not initiating the Gortash antagonist switch which would either be Steelwatch or potentially Felogyr Fireworks shop (also unalived everyone there before going to Steelwatch Foundry). However, I just wouldn't care if that worked because that's not the playthrough/inconsistent with this run/story and would just rather wait for a patch/server fix.
