These are the logs of some recent attempts that locked up due to cut-scenes and character dialogue windows.

PC hardware, just in case a fix is locked to a specific hardware:

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor
Nvidia Geforce RTX 4080
MAG X670E Tomahawk Wifi

Up to date on Nvidia drivers, so I don't think it's that.
I had looked around a bit and people had some luck running the game on admin and setting affinity to 4 processors, but that didn't seem to fix the cutscene on the "Dawn" mission that plays when the map opens up larger the first time. Always got frozen in a zoomed out unable to interact screen.
Similarly when my friend and I were playing "Black day" it would freeze sometimes after/during cutscenes where the character boxes would pop up and the screen would be moved.

Don't know if anyone knows any fixes for these issues, but I'd be very appreciative for any help rendered!
