Anime games often face criticism, but there are several gems that deserve a spot in any gaming collection. The latest addition, *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls*, has been eagerly anticipated by fans, 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 issue on PC.
Restart the Game
Although it's not a surefire solution, closing and reopening the game might give it the reset it needs. You can repeat this process without losing much time. If the problem persists, consider trying a more comprehensive approach.
Restart the PC
Sometimes, a PC struggling to run a game indicates it needs a break. Take a moment to step away from your desk and shut down your system. While you wait for your PC to reboot, you can catch up on some episodes of the *Bleach* anime—even the filler episodes are worth watching.
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 as Administrator."
Delete and Reinstall the Game
If none of the above solutions work and you can't wait for the developer's patch, consider deleting *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* and reinstalling it. Although it's a large game, reinstalling might resolve the issue long enough for you to at least complete the tutorial.
