"Bear Man" on Tavros is broken

[DuaneDibbley]

0.9.023

The game softlocks with no error dump when you encounter "Bear Man" on Tavros station. All directional motion arrows are greyed out and there are no selectable options below the game-text portion of the screen. All you can do from this softlock is go to the main menu or load from a save/save file.

This effectively makes it impossible to interact with both Aina and Paige as they reside beyond the square this bear is intent upon breaking.

See attached screenshot and save file.

Glad to know I'm not the only one getting this exact same error. Save file included.

already fixed for next patch as stated in another bug report, assuming your both trying get to paige you can save just before entering that tile exit the game and revert to a prior version of the game if you still have one or have access to backer builds and you can get his meeting done that way. he will then function as normal when go back up to the current verson

I don't have a prior version or backer access.

It's a little unwieldy, but you can use the Cheat Menu to teleport past him.

Cheat Menu: Load your save, then go to the title screen and click on the dot in the 'i' of TiTS 3 times. Cheats will appear as a new tab in the Options menu.
There's probably a Flag you can set via the Console, but I don't know what it is.

I was able to load a save in 0.9.022-PUBLIC, get past Bhakar's intial interaction, save again, and then reload in 0.9.023-PUBLIC and play as normal. It's fortunate I still had version 0.9.022 on my computer. Lately it seems downgrading and/or cheats are outright REQUIRED to play the game normally. Fixing one issue for the upcoming release tends to break 6 things that previously worked as a result.
