Game froze during loading of savepoint - Chrysler - 10-13-2015

I'd like to report a bug here that only affected me once, I had no other issues with SOMA after I had restarted the game but thought I'll report it here anyway.

I got killed twice by the monster at the start of Tau. The screen said "You died" and I clicked to try again. The loading icon in the lower-right corner showed up and at this point the game froze with one thread eating CPU cycles. I killed and restarted the game and could continue playing without issues.

I use the GOG version with the 1.02 patch. I copied the stack of the thread via Process Explorer, maybe it helps:

I also attached the hpl.log from after the freeze.

Could you upload the save file that has the freeze? So we can try to reproduce it here

RE: Game froze during loading of savepoint - Chrysler - 10-14-2015

Sure, I have attached the save file in the first post. I think I can reproduce the problem or a part of it. I just deleted all saves except this problematic one (to make sure it does not load the latest checkpoint.sav after death), loaded it, let me kill by the monster twice and now the game showed "Error loading savegame: corrupt file. Save deleted" or similar. Interestingly, the save wasn't deleted though.

EDIT: That error message seems to be unrelated to the freeze I think and appears because I deleted the checkpoint.sav. From hpl.log:

Code:
ERROR: Could not open binary file 'C:\Users\chris\Documents/My Games/Soma/Main/Default/CheckPoint.sav'

ERROR: Error loading save file CheckPoint.sav, could not open-------------- SAVE THREAD COMPLETED -----------------
