Hi all,

I've encountered the dreaded infinite loading screen, during the Open Sesame quest. It happens at the beginning of the heist, after the cutscenes where Geralt and gang climb the tower to infiltrate the Borsodi estate. It happens right after they pick up the wooden swords. I've looked at this part in Youtube and it's when game is supposed to transition from the cutscene to player control.

Some info and how I've tried to diagnose:
Running Win10 x64 with GOG (non GOTY) with all DLC's, version 1.31A with 32 mods.

Steps to attempt to fix:

- Uninstall all mods and verify game files
- (then) stash all inventory at Novigrad
- (then) quick travel to Velen
- (then) ran safedevelop mod

- Reinistalled mods
- (then) load previous save game
- (then) choose different safecracker
- (then) ran cleardevelop command

Any ideas or suggestions on how I should proceed ? I'm really really sad, as I was enjoying immensily the HoS story. :(

Thanks,

PS: Additional info, never hurts:
