 Ok, I have noticed something with this bug that maybe could be of any help
 to the developer to pinpoint the origin of this bug.

 After loading any of the attached savegames in this ticket I entered
 Franklin's room with Ray and something I have noticed there is that the
 gum that should be sticked to the camera was not there so this made me
 wonder if the room I just entered, in one of the savegames the room name
 was ''HotelRoomA901''. was really Franklin's room or not.

 To check this I manually switched to Franklin with this command in the
 console:

 {{{
 ! selectActor(franklin)
 }}}

 In the room where Franklin was waiting, called ''HotelRoomFranklinFB'' ,
 the gum was sticked to the camera and Ray was not there.

 I used again a command to manually change Ray from the HotelRoomA901 to
 this room where Franklin was waiting:


 {{{
 ! actorAt(ray, HotelRoomFranklinFB)
 }}}


 and after selecting her again and leaving this this room the cutscene with
 the ghosts greeting Franklin and so on got triggered and after that
 Franklin became a playable character. Of Course if you have previously
 made Franklin to leave that room the cutscene becomes messed up and never
 ends but it seems that you can skip it pressing ESC.

 I don't know if after this the game can be played all the way through or
 not after this procedure.Maybe there's something else not properly
 initialized.

 At least with the savegames ''twp.008'' and ''twp.009'' included in this
 ticked Franklin received all his tasks and after scaring two persons at
 the fountain the ghosts have their meeting at the penthouse, the hotel
 doors became unlocked, the guest in the room appears and I managed to
 scare him making the hotel manager do a phone call.

 With the savegame provided by Scemino, ''twp.010'' something funny happens
 during and after Franklin's cutscene, the ghosts just tell you to scare
 just one person at the fountain and after doing that the ghosts just went
 to the penthouse for a meeting but the hotel guest never appears and the
 whole thing about the hotel manager spying on him and his phone call never
 happens.
