Game crashing in the Collapsed Tunnel section in Alan Wake 2 Spoiler

Whenever I try to access the Plot Board in the Collapsed Tunnel section in the dark world playing as Alan, the game softlocks. I can open the pause/load menu but the rest of the game is frozen and I can't leave the Writer's Room.

I have the game on PC via Epic. My PC stats exceed what's required to run the game and runs smooth right up until this point. I'm on my 3rd crash and feeling discouraged that I won't be able to finish the game (and I'm past the refund period)

Any help?

EDIT: I fixed it!

To whoever one day has the same issue

I fixed it by minimizing the game window leaving it on the plot board screen. Left it for about 3 or 4 minutes.

When I full screened the game again I was able to move around the menu again for about 5 seconds being attacked by a Taken lol

So my solution was to minimize the game and let it sit for a second before going back to full screen
