Freeze when starting a new game with the same name as an earlier save

So I'm not sure if this just happens on my PC or not, but the game locks up and eats a whole CPU core if I attempt to start a new game using the same player name as an earlier character whose save is still present.

I believe when you try to start a new game with the same name as a saved game character it tries to load that save instead, but for me it just locks up the game and I have to close it with task manager.

I remember running into this problem with CVS too but I guess I didn't report it.

Tested 0.50.4 on Windows 10 and it worked fine for me

Sad face. I think it might've been an incompatible save file? If you have a saved game, and you create a new character with the same name as the saved character, then IVAN will just load the saved game.
Was it for example, an old character created with 0.50.3 and reloaded with 0.50.4?

No, this popped up while I was testing my stone armors.
I had a character named Havel and when I tried to start a new game as "Havel" it ate my core. This does sound like an issue unique to me, sadly.

Windows 7 64bit btw, I forgot to mention.

I was able to reproduce this, but only in wizard mode. I created an issue with the steps: https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/issues/101

I noticed the github issue when it set my phone off earlier today.
Just came here to post it, but it seems you beat me to the punch.

I would say that wizard mode is the cause, because in this most recent incident I was using it to spawn the stone armor I was testing, and it crashed when I tried loading the old character who was doing the testing.
