There have been many issues with the Hello-copter as of late but they seem to all happen after this specific glitch occurs. I believe that the Hello-copter cloning itself may be the root cause of a lot of Hello-copter related issues and crashes (please note that I don't know much about game development and this is simply me speaking from my experiences in this game). I'll use this particular bug report to catalogue all of the issues I've encountered with the Hello-copter just in case any of them shed some light on this issue. I noticed that sometimes the Hello-copter items will respawn on your desk even though you already have them in your inventory. Sometimes only one of them will clone and sometimes both will but either way it always results in some terrible crash or visual glitch later on involving those cloned items. Whenever the items are cloned the game doesn't actually allow you to pull them out and use them, when I try to pull out one of the cloned items it won't allow me. Usually in the end it results in some terrible visual glitch or crash that I can't get to go away no matter how many times I load a save or click continue and I end up having to replay the game from the beginning. Hopefully some of the stuff here helps you fix some Hello-copter related issues. I'll attach a crash report from one of the Hello-copter crashes and a few videos.

Hi, and thank you for all the details! We are aware of this issue and working on fixing it as soon as possible.
It would be a great help if you could provide us with a save file where the hello-copter is cloned.

Hi, and thank you for all the details! We are aware of this issue and working on...
As requested I present you with a save file where they are cloned. You'll find the originals in the inventory and the clones on the desk. If you need absolutely anything else let me know!
Also while in the process of getting it I found out some more information. Pulling out either of the Hello-copter items causes the clone of that item to disappear from the table. Once the items are in your inventory though, they don't disappear when you pull out the original. It seems to only clone the item you're not holding out but still have in your inventory. When I tried to recreate it and left with the Hello-copter viewer in my hand and not the Hello-copter itself, then the Hello-copter itself would clone but not the viewer. That's why I am holding a rock in that save file, so that I wasn't holding either of the Hello-copter items out but they could still be in my inventory. It also seems to be most easy to recreate by using the "load last save" feature. If you load your last save then it seems to always clone whatever Hello-copter related item you're not holding out but have in your inventory. TLDR: loading last save causes the glitch to occur on command, the clones will disappear from the game world if they're not in your inventory and you pull out the original version of the item, and it will only clone the items when they are in your inventory but not being held out.
