Thanks for the reply Raze.
I tried your suggestion taking the following steps; let me know if I botched it or something
- Launched save, tried loading new scene (in this case, character creation scene). Got the infinite loading at about 60%.
- Hard reset (alt- F4), then relaunched game
- Loaded save, double checked that mods were correct using the cog button before loading.
- Saved game with a different name.
- Exited to menu, closed game, relaunched game
- Loaded new save
- Had to recheck the mod boxes this time; it didn't have any of them checked for some reason.
- Tried to load a new scene (again, character creation scene). Got the infinite loading bug at 60% again.
If you have other suggestions I'd love to hear them. Someone on the subreddit was offer a suggestion that seems to be working though. I'll leave it here for your comment, or in case anyone else comes looking for answers. He said:
Veteran gm mode dm here. It's a common problem. There a bug that gets rid of ALL the maps that aren't the first one you load into when loading a saved game. Easy fix though. All you need to do is load into PREPARE campaign first, using the same campaign your saved game is in, THEN load the saved game, and poof it's all fixed. Hope this helps!
