Game crashes during in-game loading

Hey everyone. Non-native speaker here so forgive my english.

I bought the game today but seem to crash everytime I enter a loading phase. The game just freezes and the audio loops. Can’t get out, even with the task manager.

I already tried :

  • Updating drivers
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Playing in borderless window mode
  • Lauching using -autoconfig

Any idea ? Here are my specs :

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

16 GB RAM

Windows 10

Thanks a lot!

Restart your computer before doing any of the following. Also when troubleshooting crashes and other problems: Uninstall ALL mods, no exceptions.

Revert to the old menu.
Right-click the game in Steam, select “Properties”, and in the General tab select “Set Launch Options”. Type “-oldgameui” in the launch config.

The device configuration you mentioned has nothing to do with sound. First, check the devices such as wires, signals, power sources of sound. Because I don’t know specifically what game or application you’re encountering. My only advice is to check the audio driver.

That seemed to work! Thanks a lot!
