1. Encountered a few Smolenkos in Upper La Noscea, inside the tunnel leading to Oakwood.

3. Got agro by both of them and died inside the tunnel near the exit.
4. Being KO'd, I selected Return option from Main Menu.
5. My character got to his feet and was killed one more time by a nearby Smolenkos.
6. My character appeared KO'd at Home Point (Camp Skull Valley)
7. Hit Return from Main Menu once again.
8. Got black screen ("Now loading...") for several minutes so I rebooted.

Hey there Umo!

I'm sorry to hear you were KO'ed again after selecting return. That is very odd indeed, so we do appreciate the post! We'll be forwarding the concern to be looked into to be resolved. Any updates will be posted within the forum as they become available. Thanks!
