Game crash on final level

Made it to the surface for the first time and the game froze up while fighting the other possession ghost. No keyboard inputs did anything and clicking on anything except the menu in the top left with the mouse did nothing. Because i could get the menu open I saved and quit to see if reloading it would fix it. When I did I got this error on the crash screen:

Error

output.lua:644: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'x' (a nil value)

Traceback

output.lua:644: in function 'set_camera'

saveload.lua:44: in function 'load_game'

gamestates/loadsaves.lua:307: in function 'mousepressed'

main.lua:126: in function <main.lua:125>

[C]: in function 'xpcall'

The save won't load no matter what and I'm guessing it's unsalvageable but i thought I'd post about the crash regardless.

The newly-released v19 should let you load the save, at least. Let me know if the frozen issue still persists.

Hey thanks for the reply and update. It loaded fine. I went and found my old self and the ghost to the north and the game froze up in the same way again when they came into view. Was able to take a screenshot this time.

The @ of course is my character (possessing a statue) and the flower to the bottom left of the @ is the square with the other possession ghost when I hover over that square. Of note I think is that the tooltip when I hover over the ghost says that the ghost is dead. I thought I had killed it when the game initially froze up so it may have to do with some sort of end sequence if I had to guess.

And just for clarity's sake it is the exact same type of soft crash as before. No error screen just this screen in game with no mouse or keyboard inputs doing anything except for clicking the menu in the top left and clicking menu buttons. And hovering over stuff with the mouse still shows a tooltip.

Can you send the save file to contact@weirdfellows.com?
Also, do you remember many times have you "killed" the other ghost before the freeze?

The just-released version 20 should fix this lockup problem. The save is now playable.

Hey thanks a lot for the update! I managed to beat the final level on this save at last.
