I am having similar problems since the latest update.
I’m on Windows 10 64 bit with an AMD processor with a built-in AMD Radeon HD 6520G
I’ve been using my old laptop to runn Fantasy Strike, and it worked pretty well up until the March update (especially with the recent performance boosts). However, the game stops responding when loading 3D models. For example, when moving around the character select screen, or on the VS loading splash screen in Arcade mode. On the VS screen, sometimes one of the models will load, or sometimes neither. The stage background sounds begin, but the game stays on a VS screen without the character models loaded and then stops responding, Sometimes I can make it into a match, but the game always hangs at some point trying to load a new model.
Thank you.
Edit: I can consistantly make it happen by moving around the character select screen in any mode. I have loaded each of the character models at one point or another, so it’s not a specific character that makes it crash, but it will crash at some point after moving around a few times, with the highlighted character failing to appear on screen.
