Yeah? That's great news! Will the fix be retroactive? That is, will affected saves be fixed?

I just double-checked: my version shows as 3.1.1.0023 LAX12ABCDEF -steam. I loaded up an affected save (a manual save I created, with my character standing belowdecks on his ship). I then clicked the arrow button at the top of the screen to return to the world map. Instead, I was returned to the main menu with the usual error message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and also verified my game cache in Steam.

Do what SChin has requested and email him your output log and saved games. I have to imagine that the more information they gather, the better chance they have of nailing down the root cause and fixing it.

Thanks! I will get you the requested information via email.

Thanks; I've emailed you the requested information.

I encountered the dreaded "there was an error loading the next map" bug last night. I'm playing on Steam, on Win10, fully patched with all current DLCs. I'm 40+ hours into the game—I just started "The City Lost to Time," and I just had the vision/dream with the gods. I have saves right before the vision/dream and right after. The ones from before won't load at all (they just go straight to the main menu with the above error). The saves after (just my main character in the hold of my ship) will load, but while I can move back and forth between the deck and the hold, I cannot "leave" the ship and return to the Deadfire map screen. Unfortunately, all of my saves seem to be affected. I verified my game files, and that didn't fix the issue. I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled, but that likewise didn't fix the issue. Some reports of this bug that I've found online seem to tie it to completing certain quests out of order (for example, clearing out the slavers before being tasked to do so). I did do that particular chain of quests out of order, but that was dozens of hours ago in my saved game. As I've researched this issue online, it looks like it's been known since 2015 for PoE1 and since early this year for PoE2. It's very disappointing that a game-breaking bug like this remains unfixed. On 10/11/2018, in another thread in this forum, SChin said: "Unity got back to us about this issue yesterday and gave the Programming team some ideas for fixing these transition crashes. The programmers submitted their fix and it is currently undergoing testing to make sure it doesn't break anything else. Assuming the fix passes, it will likely be added to the next major patch. Keep an eye on the forums for the latest patch notes to see when the fix is implemented. It is likely to make it into the Beta Patch branch first if you want to play on that branch when the fix is in." However, I've not seen this in the patch notes (release or beta) since then. Can anyone speak to where a resolution to this bug stands? I'm loathe to restart the game from scratch, especially since I might just encounter this bug again. If any additional information is needed, please let me know.

I haven't seen this in patch notes yet. What's the status of it? I'm experiencing this issue, and I've lost 46 hours of play due to saves that either straight-up won't load or saves that crash as soon as I transition to a new map.
