when i try to play the tapes it shows the monsterbox screen of the beginning and freezes
I have the same issue, and trying this fix didn't help me. I also noticed that there are people talking about "Porn playing on the PC". This isn't something that I can see, just a black screen, as if nothing had changed. The only way I know it's happening is if my sanity starts plummeting for seemingly no reason. I imagine these two issues are linked and are caused by the same thing.
