Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots [BLES00246]

Hello! Hope I'm doing this right. MGS4 is freezing right before snake becomes playable. I can change the channels of the intro TV segment and mess around in the menus, but the moment the main game cutscene ends, and the HUD appears, my emulator freezes.

All my configuration settings are default and both Vulkan and OpenGL renderers result in the same freeze. All my drivers are also up to date as of 8/29/22

Here are my specs for reference:
OS: Windows 11 Home 64-Bit
CPU: Intel i5-9600K 3.70GHz
GPU: Geforce RTX 2070-Super (MSI) (Driver V.516.94)
RAM: 16GB of Crucial Ballistix
RPCS3 Version: 0.0.24-14132-eb4131e1 Alpha | master
