Two years later, and the game still locks up when my bluetooth earbuds die (i.e. the audio device is changed.) :(


I don't even ask for the ability to actually change devices on the fly, I'll play without sound or save and restart. As it is now, the game instantly locks and I have to revert to the last auto save, losing a lot of potential progress. I just want to not freeze pretty, please! I'll be okay waiting a little longer for the next skin or DLC if it means this gets fixed. I've bought all of them and will continue to anyways!

as an update from the current time, this bug is now consistent, a sudden audio device switch (from my airpod running out of power and failed to warn me properly) guaranteed a game hanging forever.

a few month ago this issue was inconsistent, and now it is.

do note that im not sure from exactly when does this became consistent, since i just came back to this game a few days ago after a several month break
