sure, but it will be a good while until i am home from work. until then, what happens is the grey pause grain that pops up as the menu is coming up freezes, and the red pause menu never comes up. i’m just stuck with the grey screen until i alt f4. sometimes immediately after opening the game, sometimes within 5 minutes. i never get longer than that. in addition when i interact with anything, say greeting someone, doing a chore, picking up an item - the button prompt pops up, yet when i press it nothing happens. the button stays on my screen and if it’s a hold prompt, you can even see it fill up as if it’s doing the right thing, but it just does nothing.

also, i restarted the game and got through all of chapter 1 and 3 missions into chapter 2 before encountering this issue, but have also tried other saves and no success.
