However, once you reload it will still crash within a minute of moving around, if it even lasts that long.
Your game will not freeze in the exact same place after reloading, allowing you to technically keep playing by saving every few seconds and reloading when it crashes. The 'fix' listed in this thread does not work.I do not have any cheats on my emulator, so this issue does not appear to be caused by a bugged cheat.You can run around like this for a little while, but it will still freeze shortly. After coming out of the building the icons for all your menu options are not displayed, but the words still are.Going into a building and then exiting again will fix the black zone line, allowing you to adventure further, but will not stop the inevitable freeze.The game does not seem to freeze while running the other way, but in order to progress you must go back to where the issue occurred, and you will still freeze.If you run back along the path in the other direction you'll find another area of black nothingness that way. The black area mentioned in the OP appears to be the edge of the area that had loaded when the issue occurred.This is not an area-specific issue, I've had it occur in multiple places (after restarting the game).
