Checklist (we expect you to perform these steps before opening the issue)

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.
I have re-dumped the game and performed a clean install without mods and the issue is still present.
I have disabled all patches and cheats and the issue is still present.
I have all the required system modules installed.

Describe the Bug

When the second phase transition starting, the game freeze completely, but boss music is still playing. Just black screen, music, and frozen Mangohud.All other cutscene's are working.
I had similar problem with proton games, when the game randomly freezes, and the sound is playing. I have the overclocked gpu. I solved the problem, by underclockin my gpu a little bit. But in Bloodborne, its not randomly, its only in that second phase transition.
