Loading Screen of Death into Byzantium

[Mudblood47]

I have read about similar issues with the game crashing after trying to load in from the ship on this and other forums. Mine seems to be behaving slightly differently, it just loads indefinitely, my load times are usually under 15 seconds I'd say and I've let this screen attempt to load for well over five minutes without any progress. Another sign that the game is crashing is that the music stutters and then completely stops and the program completely locks up forcing me to restart the computer to close it. This is a huge bummer for me as I was really enjoying the game and wanted to finish it but it seems until this is resolved I'm locked out.

What I've attempted already: I tried going back a few saves in case the autosave got screwed up somehow, I tried playing the game in a small window instead of full screen, I checked that my drivers were up to date, I've tried to load in at least half a dozen times now. No dice. Any help that anyone could offer is appreciated, I was really looking forward to finishing this up.

I am running the game through Microsoft Gamepass on PC.

Specs:

i5-7600k 3.8GHz

16 GB DDR4

GTX 1080 8GB

Running the game at 1080p with minimal hiccups until this point.

Same problem here on ps4 during quests at Byzantium. Level 23, 60 hrs in. This issue has been going on for a couple months it seems and still hasn't been resolved apparently. Extremely irritating. Updated to v.1.3, as well as updating console.
