Whenever I play the game, the game will just freeze. The music continues to play for another 20 seconds or so before that hangs too and loops a few notes for about 10 seconds, then righting itself. It'll still take a bit after that to unfreeze and sometimes it can go right back to the music looping.
As far as I can tell there's nothing to indicate why, no specific event leading to it that might help for reproducibility, and it seems to happen anywhere. I've changed which startup option I've used, I've toggled a variety of settings thinking it may help, tried in windowed tried in fullscreen, tried reducing the graphics, nothing seems to help. The task manager doesn't indicate it uses a high amount of resources this time, the only real difference is during this period it will be flagged as not responding.
Thank you!
