Anime games often get overlooked, but Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is proving to be a valuable addition to any fan's collection. Despite its promising launch, the game has encountered some issues, particularly with crashing on PC. Here's how you can address the Bleach: Rebirth of Souls crashing problem.
How to Fix Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Crashing on PC
In addition to the no sound bug that results in no audio during gameplay, some Bleach enthusiasts are struggling to complete the tutorial without the game crashing. Even those who manage to reach the story mode or attempt online play are facing issues with the game failing to load properly, leading some to label it "unplayable." However, there's hope on the horizon as the developers are actively working on a solution.
Ryan Wagner, Brand Manager for Bandai Namco, has acknowledged the crashing issue and stated that the team is "Looking into it." While specific details and a timeline for a fix remain unclear, players can try the following temporary solutions to mitigate the crashing problem.
Restart the Game
A simple restart might just be the reset your game needs. Closing and reopening Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is a quick fix that you can attempt multiple times without significant time loss. If the issue persists, consider moving on to more comprehensive solutions.
