Game Environment

Mercenary Level 2. Using Intel i7-11800H paired with GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU.

Description

Reported by thunderbird via Discord.

Mercenary Level 2 stalls at loading, after the first bar fills. In the release build, the sound goes haywire during the briefing. In the debug build, can proceed to the loading screen where it stalls. All other levels load fine.

This is a strange one because the commit that causes this issue is supposed to only affect Macs. AMD CPUs are unaffected.

Regression Status
