Placing morton in the sewer with Lloyd soft locked my game

[vcR]

After I left the dead grandma in the sewer with Lloyd, I went back again to leave Morton there too since I remember Lloyd mention he and morton used to know each other, and I just wanted to see what would happen. After that, I saw a little speech bubble from Morton say Oh God no and then my game froze? I could still hear the music, and the animations would still be moving but I couldn't tab, walk around, press escape key...nothing. I later found out that this is done for an achievement but I NEVER got the achievement on steam (not that I was trying anyway) I had to ctrl+alt+delete to close the game. After restarting, I went back to the bench and Morton isn't there anymore nor is he in the sewer where I left him. This really takes away from the atmosphere the game started off with and I'm totally taken out of the moment. Did morton seriously just disappear from the game? How do I fix this? If I have to restart all my progress in order to re-do the quest I don't think I'd want to keep playing.

UPDATE: I took another look in my Inventory and Morton is there again, like I never placed him anywhere...but I have TWO mortons there. I could screen shot it but you'll have to trust me, I think I just duped morton. Anyone else have this happen to them?

^^ Screenshot of two morton's in my backpack. Not sure what I did aside from what I've described above.

Thank you for reporting this bug! We have seen something like this before but you know Morton, stubborn as usual. So sorry this happened to you though! Are you soft locked or still able to progress?

Thanks,
Josh

Yes, I was! So, once I put him there the first time I just force quit the game from task manager, re-launched, and was back outside the sewer with TWO Mortons in my bag. I was able to try and set him down there a second time to successfully get the achievement. Once back up top with the rest of my groundling friends, I just placed Morton twice anywhere so I wouldn't have multiples in my bag. Progression from there on out hasn't resulted in any issues :) Still very odd about the Morton dupe.
