Killing the task and rerunning the game triggers a settings screen. If you uncheck "Enable music" - the game will run, but without any intro videos (either the same white screen or a color bars screen is shown instead). With "Enable music" checked it will freeze again.

Reproduction

Install and run the game. Kill the task, try changing the settings, especially the "Enable music" checkbox.
