Hi there! So sorry to hear that. (>﹏<) Could you let me know which specific line the freeze started at? And did you experience this issue in any other part of the game?
I think I’ve only had one other person mention this problem, and when they tried it on Steam Deck, it worked fine. So my current guess is that maybe the picture quality is overwhelming the PC.
Do you happen to have another device you could test it on? That might help narrow down whether it’s a hardware issue or something else. Let me know, and I’ll see what I can do to help!
