i just downloaded this game again after no playing it for a while, even had a full reset of my pc, and im playing the game normally, when by the time i have all the girls (and brad) in the party my game starts playing up. it dosnt crash but instead the screen freezes as it is but the game dosnt stop, as in it continues playing, i can move around and open menus and stuff and i hear the noises but the screen dosnt even move or change. no idea when it started exactly but its annoying not being able to progress at all

I'm running into the same problem. Previous versions haven't had the issue, but after downloading and installing the last two updates, the screen will freeze, but you can still do actions in the background and hear the sounds of them occuring... Thank the gods for the autosave feature or I'd have lost hours of play sometimes.  Can someone try to track down this issue?
