I have completed a bunch of quests up to getting the shotgun... Then when i try to zone into the hidout or anywhere else it seems like the game saves and the loading screen appears and doesnt change. I have to CNTRL + ALT + DEL and keep restarting the game. This happens 100 % of the time. How can this game be released in this state. It really is unplayable unfortunately... I do manage stores for a large Gaming company and all I can say is offering this game to people would not be appropriate at this time...

Please Id, get your act together...

Thank you.

Any ideas on a fix?

Been having the same issue, for now I have just been quick saving my game before zoning at all. Then once it crashes, cause it always does on certain zones I reboot the game and when I load the save I click it again immediately and it lets me through.

I have restarted maybe 20 times with no luck =(

Yea it isn't a fix, just something that has been working for me, don't really know why.

Just been walking up to the zone door.
Saving.
Zoning, and crashing.
alt crtl del
close game
re-open game
continue game
click on door immediately to zone
and that time it works.

I have the same issues. The save and re-open worked on one area, the first buggy race. It does not work for the sewers. It has to do with when the game actually crashes; the buggy race crashed after the auto-saved and reloaded right into the area. Saving before the crash does nothing to fix the issue.
