Expected Behavior

Character is controllable after loading a saved game.

Actual Behavior

Game crashes with a data abort immediately after gaining control of the character.

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch game
2. Load a saved game
3. Reset via in-game menu
4. Load a saved game again
5. Advance until character is controllable

I attached my save file, but the crash also happens with a fresh one after creating a new character and following the steps above.
