Problem Description
Finding the cause for this glitch took me a while but I think that I've finally found it.
My game is using positioned audio in the gameplay part and I've noticed that it takes up to 3 seconds to load in a layout.
At first I thought it might be caused by the layout loading system but then I found out that positioned audio was at fault.
Basically when the game is playing positioned audio for the first time, using the "HRTF" mode it comes to a complete hold.
I'm sure that "HRTF" is at fault because "Equal Power" works as intended.
