I'm hopeful that the new codebase will have fixed the error. Unfortunately, the old savegames are no longer loadable, and I haven't been able to find a walkthrough to play through to the given point. So it would be appreciated if you can validate whether the problem still persists, and if so, attach a new savegame from the room. Thanks.
