Hmm. Strange. It sounds like it might be a bug. Once I deleted the signal from my drive and computer, I was fine, so I'm not sure if it's a bug, or there's something else you're forgetting.
I'll reinstall the game and tell you if anything changes
Nothing changes. Its still ending game.
That's a shame. I hate to say it, but your best bet is to report the bug and reset the save, or wait for a fix.
