Dynasty Warriors Gundam: Reborn [BLES02057]

Anyone have random soft locks in the game where the video freezes but the sound keeps going? I've tried changing practically every setting and it keeps happening. The log has zero errors pop up.

I've done the mem patch (can't even play without that). I've completed quite a few missions, but regularly get this soft freeze.
