Road to Glory Freezes on EA Flag Loading Screen During High School Games

Platform: PC / Steam

Mode: Road to Glory

Issue Type: Freeze / loading screen crash

I am experiencing a recurring issue in Road to Glory where the game freezes when attempting to load into high school games.

The issue occurs on the EA flag loading screen before entering the game. The flag animation suddenly stops, the music/audio also stops, and the application becomes completely unresponsive. No error code is displayed.

This first happened in the high school portion of RTG as a WR, specifically when trying to load Game 5: Senior Night. However, after creating a new Road to Glory save, the same issue still occurs when trying to load into RTG games in different games, as if the animation was not available thus the game just stops. It does not appear to be limited to one corrupted save file.

The game itself launches normally, and I can access the main menu, but I cannot reliably progress in Road to Glory because the loading screen freeze prevents me from entering games.

System specs from DxDiag:

OS: Windows 11 Home 64-bit

System: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS with Radeon Graphics

RAM: 16 GB

DirectX Version: DirectX 12

Please investigate this issue, as it currently makes Road to Glory progression impossible on PC.
