Here's a comprehensive guide on how to address *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* crashing on PC.
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 struggling to progress past the tutorial due to frequent crashes.
