We have identified an issue where the game freezes at the loading screen or becomes completely unresponsive upon startup in certain PC systems and OS configurations. We are providing a hotfix to resolve this issue.
To ensure the stability of the current live build and prevent any unintended file conflicts, this hotfix is being provided through a separate Beta branch. If you are experiencing infinite loading screens or are unable to progress into the game, please follow the instructions below to apply the patch.
Right-click the game in your Steam Library and select [Properties...].
Click on the [Game Versions & Betas] tab on the left side of the window.
In the "NAME & DESCRIPTION" menu, select 'public-beta'.
Close the properties window. Steam will automatically download a small patch. Once the download is complete, relaunch the game.
(※ If you are currently able to run and play the game without any issues, no further action is needed.)
