It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Another approach is to switch to window mode:

XIII.ini
StartupFullscreen=True
To
StartupFullscreen=False

Also changing
ReduceMouseLag=True
To
ReduceMouseLag=False

helped at some booting issues.

Tried with both, but no luck. Still no progress on the audio front, but I am looking into getting a cheapo sound card to see if that helps.

As bonkers as this sounds, this is most likely a networking issue. I traced through this in WinDbg, and even though the symbols were saying HxAudio, the calls I was seeing were going to code that was clearly making socket calls.

In my case, I have VirtualBox installed, and when I disabled the VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter, the game suddenly started working.

Goddammit I could kiss you. That done did it. Game works again.
For me it was just a matter of disabling the network/wifi for single player to start working.
