OK, so do you remember I reported a problem? (see previous post).
Because of that I couldn't continue the game. When I clicked "Continue" it leaded me directly to the error message, with no possibility of loading one of my six saved games.
Well, I could "Start a new game", and when the MC finally was starting as a girl just then I could hit the ESC-key to call the menu. From there I could load my last game and continue playing, avoiding to do what triggered the error (that was to invite Jovi to join the party).
Much later, in another scene, when the error was already forgotten, and Jovi was in the party with no problem, I was about to engage a raid and ... the same error message came again. This time, however, restarting and "Continue" allowed me to load a saving game so I am still playing and found this other action to avoid.
Hoping this helps you in a similar situation.
