Answer 1

In the end it was not a PSDK error but a custom script error:

The line $options = @all_saves.compact.first&.options could make options nil if there was no save. Adding if $options = @all_saves.compact.first at the end of the line solve the issue.

Answer 2

Is your game loading a Map intro?

Otherwise there's something not setting $options to its normal value and it's not normal because loading a game usually does it properly.

No

Finally managed to replicate it. Initialized a brand new game, got my first pokemon, saved the game and then look at party menu which caused the crash. Doesn't happen if look at party menu first before saving.
If I reload the game and look at the party menu, it doesn't happen.

Could it perhaps be due to a wrong implementation this script:

module GamePlay
  class Load
    alias psdk_initialize initialize
    def initialize
      psdk_initialize
      $options = @all_saves.compact.first&.options
    end
  end
end

This might be a side effect of the new scene generalization, we'll take a look, thanks for the steps.
