[KCD1] Game breaking bug 125 hours in...

As the title suggests, I've come across a game breaking bug 125 hours in... Just did the trebuchet test and I'm faced with an infinite loading screen.

The solutions are:

• Use mods to fix the bug (I can't, I'm playing on PS5)
• Don't complete From The Ashes DLC (I completed it about 60 hours ago)
• Reload an earlier save from before you completed the DLC (I don't have saves knocking about from 60 hours ago, WHY THE FUCK WOULD I NEED TO KEEP SAVES FROM 60 HOURS AGO!?)

And failing that presumably.... Go fuck myself

Absolutely gutted. To say my pizzle has been yanked most unpleasantly would be an understatement. JC has abandoned me.

Why is this bug still present!?
