Quite simply, loading a savestate does not restore open file handles at the time of the savestate creation and thus the game freezes when trying to deploy a character with a DLC weapon equipped (unless you have another character with that weapon equipped already deployed in which case the weapon is already in memory and it doesn't need to go out to disk). Note that this will affect any game when making savestates while accessing DLC content that lives on the memory stick.

The devs are aware of this problem because they have bothered to create this error message, but it's not something that they have gotten around to fixing yet. You can see the code in DirectoryFileSystem::DoState method in https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/blob/...System.cpp

Ah, now this makes some real sense. Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. Well, as you said, the presence of a FIXME tag indicates the devs are aware of the issue, so all that's left is wait until they get around to do something about it (could take a while I suppose, since the game IS playable, and there's likely loads of more important things to fix)

Is there a thread somewhere that tracks or discusses this FIXME?
