Force-quit on infinite load screen creates empty level

[Applejaxc]

Trying to enter a new town, I encounter a load bar that, after reaching the right side of the screen, moved to the left, and back and forth, forever, until I used task manager to close the game. Upon loading the associated save, I was (as far as I can tell) placed in my destination, however the entire world is black and empty. The UI, chat, etc are still functional but moving my mouse causes a lua error. I've tried using the rod of recall, but because I can't move, there's no count-down to activate its effect. I'm fine never being able to enter a bugged town, but how the hell do I get out?!

Quick question - were you trying to zone into Angolwen and are you using the Infinite500 addon? I ask because this frequently is the case post 1.3 due to an addon problem. As for how to fix it, that's something I can help with. Unfortunately I can't say why it happened without seeing the error from the log when it first froze, but I can pull you out. When you have a freeze on load in the future, immediately after you force close the game look in the te4_log.txt file near the bottom for an error block. Useful guide on this here: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=43181

For now, you can look for me or another moderator online in chat and we can pull you out. Alternately, I maintain a site for sending saves to be fixed. You can open a ticket and submit your save and I'll sort it out - http://tome.gatheringspot.org/hesk/

I was in fact using Infinite 500.
Would it be safe to disable this mod, or will I need to keep it active to recover my save?

And further information (if it helps): I ran into the issue again, at the same town, "Dirthmire," (or Dirtmire or something) southwest of Trollmarsh and south east of some ancient ruins I was teleported to at the end of the Sun Paladin's naga-hunting quest.
