Consistent freeze/hang issue near beginning of game

[Wishwise]

Hello,

The game is freezing/hanging just after fixing the water pump and entering the west apartments area. Specifically, on the ground floor, to the right of the water, there is a tipped over chair. Anytime I get near it the game freezes, and I have to alt-tab out and close it.

Out of curiosity, I did try heading up to the top of the west apartments first, going back down on the left side, and then heading right. The freeze happens again if I get near that tipped over chair.

Any suggestions?

I tried switching to the developer build since it was recommended for other unrelated issues, and that seems to have resolved the problem.

Huh, odd, the developer branch should be the same as the release branch. Sorry you had these issues regardless!

I received the automated crash reports from you, and I'll take a look at those as soon as I'm able. From a cursory glance it looks like a bug that's been around for a while and we were never able to consistently reproduce, so it's been impossible to get a handle on it :/

FWIW I can't reproduce this crash with the latest version of the game anymore (1.1.22).

Hi,

I'm getting the same freezing on 1.1.23 from GOG. No actual crash, just hangs there forever with two threads each maxing a core, and needs to be killed from task manager.

Could probably send you a memory dump from while it's frozen if you want.

I have the same exact issue as maverickronin describes on GOG v1.1.23
