[KCD2] ISSUE (CRASH) CryAudioImplFmod_Allocator (I am desperate please help)
I am having this weird audio glitch. The sound starts to repeat a single effect or note, like a broken/scratched record. Then the game (loses audio then) freezes and CTD (sometimes it does not CTD, but most of the time it does).
I have not found anyone else posting about this either here on Reddit or anywhere else (official forums, Steam forums, PC Gaming Wiki etc.). Please help. I bought a new PC mostly because I wanted to play this game.
I have tried updating and reinstalling the game, the same for my graphics card drivers, the same for my Windows. I have also tried disabling windows sound effects enhancements, changing windows sound settings to multiple different ones, using different sound outputs (both cable and bluetooth), disabling exclusive audio device control. I even tried installing Linux and playing the game via Steam Proton Experimental and Proton-GE 11 (as you will see on the extended log - since this specific crash report was extracted from the Linux test-run's CTD).
The issue happens on vanilla install (even though I am currently playing with mods - which are not the issue, since it happens on vanilla the same way).
