If you're encountering crashes on PC, here's how you can potentially resolve the problem with *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls*.
How to Fix Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Crashing on PC
In addition to the no sound bug, which results in no audio during gameplay, some *Bleach* enthusiasts are unable to progress past the tutorial without the game crashing. Even those who reach the story mode or attempt online play encounter issues with *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* failing to load properly, leading some to label it "unplayable." However, there's hope on the horizon as a fix is being developed.

Restart the Game
Though it's not a foolproof solution, closing and reopening the game can sometimes provide the necessary reset. You can repeat this process without losing much time. If the issue persists, consider a more comprehensive approach.
Restart the PC
If your PC struggles to run the game, a restart might be beneficial. Take a break and power down your system. While waiting for your PC to reboot, catch up on some *Bleach* anime episodes—even the filler ones are worth watching.
Run the Game as Administrator

- Right-click on the *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* shortcut.
- Click on Properties and navigate to the Compatibility tab.
- Select "Run this program as an administrator."
Delete and Reinstall the Game
If all else fails and you can't wait for an official patch, consider deleting *Bleach: Rebirth of Souls* and reinstalling it. Although it's a sizable download, there's a slight chance that a fresh install might resolve the issue long enough for you to at least complete the tutorial.
