Game has a chance to load infinitely after "The First Night" cutscene
UPDATE
We have been looking more into this and we are suspecting it's a race condition from the original game that only shows itself in specific hardware configurations. The game gets stuck while trying to free a sound that is already playing. We're not yet sure why this only happens in specific systems.

It crashes for me too after passing day 2 of Apotos and after the cinematic, it's frustrating
same i havent found a solution yet. edited: i found a solution that might work i changed it from 120 fps to 60 fps and didnt crash

The issue persists regardless of what FPS, rendering API, or quality options the game is set to use. I should have mentioned that in my original post but I forgot.
Yeah, I have the black screen as well. The stage works fine and runs well... but I just can't get past the cutscene. I've tried a lot of setup configurations, with low frame rates, low shadows, disabling antialising, switching Xbox/PS3 Style loading. Nothing seems to work. I've even tried fiddling with the config file, trying to switch renderer but so far it didn't do much.
I'm using Ryzen 5 5500 CPU... so I wonder if that's the issue.
Yeah same problem here running on a 3070 and Ryzen CPU OS: Windows 10 Pro - version 22H2
Edit: So i've found the fix for me and it was installing Windows 11 lol, I have no idea what the reason behind it is but it just immediately loaded without issue this time.
The solution in my case was to install the nvidia drivers version 566.36, by reinstalling them I was able to pass the level

I was already on 566.36 which wasn't working for me, so instead I tried updating to the newest drivers (572.60), which didn't work either.

I also feel it has more to do with CPU because, from what I've seen, all affected with this issue are using some sort of Ryzen model. GPUs on the other hand, are far more varied.

It doesn't create a CrashDump because the game doesn't actually crash after the cutscene after Windmill Isle Act 2, it just hangs on the black screen and stops responding.
I think some of the issues that were merged as duplicates aren't the same issue as the original one here.
@PaperLuigi100 Were you able to see the Miles Electric loading screen with the text scrolling on it, or did it crash before you could even see that?
@Belthazar90 Yeah I think the hang is a separate issue, I've been investigating it but it's incredibly tricky to figure out. Hopefully I'll find something.
Someone said restarting during WI2 at least once seems to fix the freeze, does that work out for you?
@blueskythlikesclouds so it would crash there, then if I try and pass the time to night on the hedgehog to werehog screen it crashes too
It will not let me get into spagonia at night! Please help https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hoKoVPc993MllcgRDoYlF889pTGTs5j/view?usp=drive_web

I'm pretty sure I've restarted the stage when I first played it due to missing the music track collectable or something. But I will try and do that again when I'm off from work today.

Don't think restarting helps, unfortunately. Here's a video of me going from selecting WI2 to the game hanging up (forgive the quality, original recording was over 1GB so I shrunk it a bit): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zBQBYwMOuT9R6Vf_RWbshA22UVoBKSuj/view?usp=drive_link Important timestamps:
- 0:01 Stage is selected
- 0:10 Restart the stage for testing
- 2:58 Stage ends
- 3:12 Cutscene begins and I skip it (watching it is the same)
- 3:23 Windows tells me the game stopped responding
This doesn't seem to create a crash file as the game doesn't explicitly "crash". Speculating here but the issue seems to be specific to the AMD Ryzen 5000 series, as everyone I've seen mention it (including me with my 5800x3D) seems to have one of those.
Hey y'all, could you try this build? It's related to fixing bootup crashes but maybe it helps here: https://github.com/hedge-dev/UnleashedRecomp/actions/runs/13701694465/artifacts/2704519917

Gave it a try with that build, doesn't seem to help unfortunately as the game still hangs after WI2 on my end.
Still crashing while trying to get to spagonia night stages... it will let me go in during daytime but when I switch to night boom crash... Pc Specs

The access is restricted. Can you give me access?

Didn't work here either, still hangs in a black screen
It looks like the problem is not going to be solved anytime soon. Maybe someone can send us a save file that starts right after this cutscene? I think that would fix our issue until the new release comes out.
Yeah here:
Sorry for this, the issue doesn't happen on any of our computers so it's been hard to figure out what's going wrong.

Thanks, I'll try and see if it works later today. And don't worry about it, you guys are already doing a lot.

thank alot! everything works perfectly with this save, so far, i've reached the night act of mazuri, and nothing has lagged
I've got a crashlog from the end of Windmill Isle night act 1 on the latest build of the game, do I need to try again with the version in the OP? I'd like to avoid playing through a 20 minute mission to then crash again if I don't have to (Or at least make sure I only have to do it one time for diagnostic purposes).
Also got a bunch of mods and the OP build doesn't have instructions about it.
One factor that I have noticed with this crash is that it may have something to do with the game icon changing from Sonic into the Werehog. In other words, Sonic needs to transform before you can skip the cutscene.
The video below demonstrates this. As you watch, pay attention to the game icon. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TIpqk0YhykrwuLZxXNjoiFz0lrizziok/view?usp=sharing
EDIT: I don't think that this is the main culprit. However, it may be something worth looking into.
