Describe the Bug

In the Main branch official build, Catherine Full Body boots correctly up to trying to play the intro video... then on Windows 10, it stops before playing it and freezes with a black screen and this in the console:

Just to be clear: I don't think it's some kind bad dump or something I'm doing wrong: on Discord, user Missake has the same problem on Catherine (look in the 'Help' section)... maybe a regression?

Hi, don't worry you're not doing anything wrong, the game is just stuck there on Windows and works fine on Linux. I tried to look a little bit into the crash through a debugger and Ghidra with no real success, the best I can do is this screenshot of the call stack and hope someone with more coding knowledge who also happens to own the game can try and figure it out.

Not here to say that i have the issue but actually say that i don't. Idk if the CPU is the reason or maybe even GPU or something but im on a Ryzen 7800X3D and a RTX 3060 Ti and everything plays fine.
