Ooof I’m now on the sleepover for the 4th time, can’t get through without crashing, much too long without any option to save. although the no saving was probably added to prevent people from equipping ellie (and presumably throwing away their unique equipment?)
edit: make that 6. I think what must be happening is I’m trying to tap z to continue a text prompt, but it’s registering as a lengthy press of z? aka fast forward, for like a millisecond, even though I don’t mean to? Otherwise I am not sure I can figure out what causes it (usually it’s not a big deal, I save often, but this sleepover section is way to long to not have a save point).
edit: 8.
I’m starting to wonder if the sleepover is even beatable, I guess if I skip all the lore and interactables that are skippable it’ll go fast enough to maybe be doable?
edit: 10, and ooooo I think that last try I was on the final conversation in the final scene of the segment 
I had thought using nothing but the mouse fixed the freeze bug! and actually I think it did! I fast forwarded endlessly using only the mouse and sprites desync’d and then were fixed a frame or two later. the sprite desync somehow must freeze the game if you are doing anything but holding down the left mouse button (when it froze for the tenth time I was actually clicking the mouse button because I was reading the text in the final new scene of the section, clicking, not holding, so far left mouse holding has yet to freeze, despite causing nonfreeze related graphical glitches).
