After I defeated Craig in the tower I went to a loading screen where the screen was black  but I could still hear noises when I moved around and I could open inventory but when I went back to the game it wwas still a black screen. So I quit the game completely then tried starting it up again. When I clicked on continue I got to a never ending loading screen. I tried to quit the game and reboot and again when I hit continue same thing. The last time I went to Load Game and tried to load it that way and yet again same thing never ending loading screen so pretty much as of right now I cant play my old save file. Does this mean I have to start a new game from the very beginning cause that would kinda suck. Ill do it if I have to I wouldn't completely hate the idea of having to re do everything I just did but would rather not.

I have exactly the same problem… I managed to go to the next room with an almost black screen but in the next room the other people won´t talk and i can´t even see myself.. i reinstalled the game multiple times, loaded the game from older save states and have ALWAYS this problem… SOMEONE HELP PLS ._.

I have the same problem. When I am in the school to get craig, after I buddy select Kenny to open the gate it goes to a load screen and won't go any further stays stuck. I have tried several times, saved and came back. What's the deal? I am soooo frustrated. Help, anyone??

You have guys tried the buddy swap fix?
