Buggy audio and cutscenes

[Creamylinguini]

Character models in cutscenes freeze in place and objects disappear, audio is constantly cutting out too. Anyone else having this issue?

I have this issue, except without any audio cut out. I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it and I've barely seen anyone else posting about it. Super frustrating.

Make sure you install the game on a fast enough SSD not an old hard drive , or it will not be able to load the data required quickly enough.

Good call out. I tried on 2 different Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSDs and still had the issue. I would think those are fast enough.

The game works well except for the cutscenes, where the camera is smooth and objects animate smoothly but the character models intermittently freeze. Sometimes it's funny because objects fly around while the characters are still.

Edit: I'll add my full specs (technically I don't meet the reqs, but the game does otherwise run well).

I am running off a similar class SSD so yeah there's something else going on. Sorry I cannot help further

[Creamylinguini]

I only have SSD having tried my M2 as I have just installed it but my other ssd was connected via sata so that could be it

Hmm, that should be fast enough (SSD connected via SATA 600) but I played it off a M.2 connected drive regardless.
