Game Crashes / Unplayable - creature bugs out/1fps on current save

[zolferno]

Well I had been playing the game all morning perfectly fine and got to the level In The Nest Of Eggs - my game started spazzing out majorly, it takes 1 min to move 1 yard (1 fps - I did try putting all settings on lowest although i don't need to).

so I load the game to a previous save much earlier and then get to same area - now I'm running through a corridor and a door locks behind me and I'm going down the hallway and I see the creature so I wait and hide but he doesn't leave, so when I make a run for it past him the game crashes instantly - it tries to run an updater in a tiny box then it crashes the updater.

I have tried verifying my game cache on steam and still no luck, I have waiting since last Halloween checking if the game was released ( its been my homepage for almost a year ) and now it comes out my game play is interrupted so badly I cant even start a new game without it glitching/crashing please help.

Main Problem = Current Save I Have 1 FPS
Other Problem = Load Previous Save And/Or New Game and the creature will bug and not move he will pace back and forth and when I run straight past him the game will crash and a tiny updater will appear but then the updater crashes as well always at 2%

guess ill start working on a save editor for levels as I'm guessing saves become corrupt ( just a guess ) and i have a feeling a few people will have to start over

BUMP!!!!! - come on srsly I have waited long enough for this game all I want to do is play, I have been patient enough

Have you tried loading an earlier save, from the level before perhaps even and play from there?

erm yes i explained that - when i load a save/new game it runs fine until i meet the creature, it will pace back and forth and wont go so i try and just run past and every attempt at running past it will cause instant crash - im debugging the game as we speak to find where the error in code is as when it crashes the updater/reporter crashes before i can read any information

I don't suppose its too late to ask for a re-fund (I pre-ordered) through steam found another horror game that looks promising

solved problem by playing around with code all day in ollydbg - will be waiting for new stable version though
