Anime games often face criticism, but there are several gems that deserve a spot in any gamer's collection. The latest addition, *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls*, has been eagerly anticipated, but it's encountering some launch issues. If you're experiencing *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* crashing on PC, here's how you can address it.
How to Tackle Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Crashing on PC
In addition to the no sound bug, which results in no audio in the game, some *Bleach* fans are unable to progress past the tutorial without the game crashing. Even those who reach the story mode or attempt online play can't get *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* to load properly, with some labeling it "unplayable." However, there's hope on the horizon as a fix is being developed.
Ryan Wagner, Brand Manager for Bandai Namco, has confirmed that the team behind *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* is aware of the crashing issue and is actively "looking into it." While Wagner didn't provide a timeline for the solution, here are some immediate steps you can take to potentially bypass the crashing problem on PC.
Restart the Game
Although it's not a surefire solution, closing and reopening the game can sometimes provide the necessary reset. You can repeat this process without losing much time. If the issue persists, consider more advanced troubleshooting methods.
Restart the PC
Sometimes, a PC needs a break to resolve game issues. Turn off your system and take a moment to enjoy some episodes of the *Bleach* anime, including those often overlooked filler episodes.
Run the Game as Administrator
While some *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* players on Steam have reported that this method doesn't work for them, it's still worth a try. Here's how to do it:
- Right-click on the *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* shortcut.
- Click on Properties and navigate to the Compatibility tab.
- Select "Run this program as an administrator."
Delete and Reinstall the Game
If all else fails and you can't wait for an official patch, consider deleting and reinstalling *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls*. Although it's a large game, reinstalling might resolve the issue long enough for you to at least complete the tutorial.
