Game crashes upon entering The Crematorium due to OGG file problems

Bug report ref. # 210230794

I have been experiencing this issue since the day PoE was released. I get this error on both the normal version and the Steam version. I get this issue somewhat randomly when entering random areas however with The Crematorium it's been persistent so far as I have no been able to enter it successfully in dozens of attempts.

So the problem is when I try to enter The Crematorium, I get the usual area loading screen and then the game itself hangs and I get a Windows error dialog as seen in the attached screenshots about issues with OGG file. I noticed it's not always the same file either.

To reproduce, just go to the Crematorium entrance and try to enter it.

I wanna add to this also, had bad tile data trying to enter the 2nd floor to the solaris temple!

I have also been getting this error. It is very annoying. In the crash log it has info on a kernalbase.dll not sure if it is one of those errors created by old, corrupt, or missing .dll's. Im going to look into that side of the error if someone from grinding gears could let us know what they have found that would be great.

Update: I went as far as deleting my content.ggpk file and re-downloading the entire thing via the client launcher. The issue persists.

on another thread someone said add -swa to the start up command line trying it now.

UPDATE: -swa does work to get into the crematorium.
