Game CRASH during MAPLOAD

[Mitris]

I've been playing the game for a while and now suddenly the game crashes when i try to load into another map! What do i do?! I've read the Troubleshooting Guide but nothing helps. I am playing the game through Steam and I have updated the game cache.
Please help! I really wanna finish this game!

Please post your hpl.log under Documents/Amnesia/Main and specify your OS.

Also, did you load a save before updating the game?

I'm running the game on Windows Vista.
The crash happened before i updated the game and after i updated.

[Tanshaydar]

Please load an earlier save and try. Possibly, it's because you updated the game in the middle of playthrough.

[Mitris]

So, i loaded an much earlier save, one that i made long before i updated the game, but the same thing happens! It's when i leave from "The Study" to "Back Hall".. I don't understand why it's between those two maps i cant load..
I'm attaching a picture of the message i get when the crash happens.
Is there any hope or should i just reinstall the game and start over?

[Tanshaydar]

Study has assets changed with update.
If you don't mind, please load a save before entering study.

[Mitris]

Okey. I loaded a save which isn't made from inside the study, it's a save which brings me to Back Hall. But to continue the game i need to enter the study at some point.. so I tried to enter the study but when i try to go back to Back Hall it crashes.

((( this is very annoying...

[Tanshaydar]

Are you sure you didn't enter study in that save? A save before entering study should solve the problem.
If you have Steam version run an integrity check too.

[Mitris]

That means i have to play through all of "The Storage" again......... the most scary part....

you gotta be kidding me! QQ lol

[plutomaniac]

Well it is not advised to update during a game. If you already played this part, want this time be less scary?
