FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles: Game Freezes (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: I forget if that's there on the initial battle at the church, but could try starting a new game, skipping through the first few cutscenes** and seeing if it also freezes when the battle starts there.
The problem
In the third battle, I'm supposed to send four people, and then the choice comes up: kill the enemies or rescue the prisoner. No matter what I say, the prisoner speaks, the battle is about to start— he starts running in place, and the game freezes. I've tried a few things, but no matter what settings I use, it happens every time.
What players suggest
Hmmm ... is it the transition where it says the battle objective causing an issue? I forget if that's there on the initial battle at the church, but could try starting a new game, skipping through the first few cutscenes** and seeing if it also freezes when the battle starts there. No idea on what you could really do about it, but I feel like having that information handy might be useful for…
I had loaded an old save file and even tried it on another PC, but it didn't work. I've started a new game since then and it's working now—no idea what the issue was.
To fix game freezes and crashes on startup, update your dedicated graphics card drivers and verify the integrity of the game files through Steam.
