i have the us release and have the no ending load screen. i would try your workaround anyway but the problem is that i have never gotten past the load screen after the ladybug movie so i havent gotten a chance to save my game. guess im sh*t out of luck. i even got the new 1.3 patch today and still doesnt do anything. i guess its the waiting game for me still. im getting so pissed off its not funny.
