Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang with the non_volatile_as_local optimization disabled, using the “Boot Directly to Title” code and the affected scenes. Trace the path to Video::Present and compare it with the optimization-enabled behavior; the issue is resolved when the title proceeds past “Now Loading” without freezing. Review #522 for related context.
