Infinite Loading Screen

[TGolias94]

Hey all, I'm curious if anyone else has encountered an infinite loading screen in this game before?

For me, the game was running just fine until January 2nd, and now I am unable to proceed in the story because of it.

I'm running the Steam Version of the game patched to version 1.02.

It doesn't seem to be hardware dependent because I can recreate it 100% of the time on both my Desktop and my Steam Deck.

Here's a video demonstrating the issue (spoilers, for those who haven't made it to January 2nd in-game yet): https://youtu.be/U9MN-NOFEnk

I just got past this part today and I didn't encounter this. And you said it also happens on your Steam Deck....

In that case, it seems to be something with your save file? Do you have one perhaps a little earlier than the one you're using to retry?

Also, out of curiosity, you did not use any tool to tamper with your save, right?

Hey I got the exact same problem after arriving at Sae's palace. I think your save file is corrupted, since that was the reason for my loading screen. But I haven't found
a solution yet :(

I figured it out, y'all. Something must've gotten messed up in my install files after the recent patch somehow. Doing a "verify integrity of game files" fixed the issue on both systems.

I'm on 3/10 and I have the same problem, with the only difference that I bought it in the Microsoft store.
