With this update The Kindred Mission Saving and Loading is finally working as intended!
Please let us know in Discord or the Steam forums if you still encounter any unexpected behavior after loading.
Since this fix is still quite fresh.

Additionally we fixed a critical issue where players could get stuck in combat and the game would not accept inputs correctly anymore.

Finally, we fixed an issue where players could break the Prescott quest by talking to him repeatedly.

Known issues:
We're still working on getting saving & loading set up properly again for the Exploration demo.
In particular Prescott's quest still has a lot of problems after loading.

Poor framerate / performance for a few seconds after savin & loading.

Sometimes the equipped weapon has a "glitch" while in combat with ppor framerate.
This can be fixed by sheathing and unsheathing the weapon.
