Scissor Ghost Camera/Limbo Bug

[jbhypno]

Ok I haven't found any other posts about this. After the update, since my saves were wipped out, I decided to start over. Now I got to the Scissors ghost and everything was normal at first until I died. I saved during limbo and switch the experience option to a fixed limbo length. Now when I load the save I am laying on the floor and the ghost is attacking right away. However, the camera is no longer working. I can't open the cell phone. Then when I die, since I can't attack, the whole screen turns white and limbo never comes up and I can hear the ghost continuing to attack in the background. I tired to change the setting back but still no camera or limbo. I only have the one autosave. Please don't tell me I have to start again.

I have the same problem. God knows how I hate this scissor ***, it spoils my experience for the second time!
I think it'd better just to start Act 2 rather than endlessly trying to defeat this ♥♥♥♥♥.

Hey there gais and gals, I have the same problem and teared my hair trying to fix it, and lo! I did managed to fix this problem. To fix this problem however requires tampering of the save file which may not be legal to do unfortunately :( but I was desperate and really didn't want to replay for 4th time.

The Problem here is:
1) Linda died, so player death sate is set to true
2) Once in Limbo I quit
3) Upon reload the game unfortunately doesn't spawn me in proper Limbo state so player state is still stuck to dead
4) Even if I managed to load at Limbo zone I immediately "fell" down to reality where scissor ghost is snipping away (that thing camp-spawned me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!)
5) Being in "dead" state means you Linda will not have her bag and phone
6) Dying to scissor ghost this time around is not a normal death but a death after being dead, so the game will be stuck with a white screen with scissor snipping sound (and Linda groaning in pain) playing in loop (being killed while being a ghost makes you dead for real get it? :D )
7) Even if I replayed several times, this can happen again

So my advice for those who attempts to replay:
1) Find the save file location. Do not enter the scissor ghost battle before you do.
2) Copy the save file and paste is somewhere safe (or the same directory but rename it to backup or something)
3) Go fight the scissor ghost
4) If this bug happens again, replace current save with the one you backed up
5) Load the save, at least you spawn before the scissor ghost battle and not get camp spawned by it

The "other" more forceful method shall not be discussed here because I fear I may violate some terms and legal stuffs >.> , with enough digging around the net I'm sure you will come across it (though very obscure).

BUT..
you can send save files to the developers apparently. I read from here:

It's located in your [Steam library folder]\SteamApps\common\DreadOut\cloud
