Wild Hearts Crashing when loading into Minato (Chapter 4 and beyond)

Every time I've tried to log in now for the past couple of days to continue the story because I do enjoy this game I get hit with an un-identifiable crash for the game because no error code pops up in the EA app. I was playing the game problem free until 2 days ago when this first started but its persisted through a fresh reinstall of the game which is kind of baffling to me. Its the moment I load into Minato the game just locks up and immediately crashes, no error code to fall back on or anything, just a dead process and no feasible way out of it. When I made a backup of my save data and did a little save reset by loading into a new save that works and is playable but the moment I try to load my original save it crashes immediately. I don't want to start over for the third time.
