General Solutions
General game-related solutions
Uninstall and reinstall the game
Update Windows 10
Update your audio and graphic drivers.
Verifying game cache in Steam

Audio related problems:
Uninstall and reinstall audio drivers.
Make sure your speaker/headphones are running on stereo mode
Disabling Game Bar in Windows 10 under Start-> Settings -> Gaming --> Turn off everything in Game Bar, Capture and Game Mode
If you have a Nvidia Graphics card and use GeForce Experience, in GeForce Experience turn off General --> In-game overlay
Fatal Error After Pressing Play
Try to install the vcredist exe file located under Life Is Strange 2/_CommonRedist/vcredist/2015. If you have a newer version like 2017, you will need to remove that version from Control Panel --> Uninstall a program to install this older version (it actually fixed that for me) .
Remember to restart your computer
Audio Cutting Out and Texture Glitch on some texture

If the general solutions above don't work:
- Run the .NET framework pack repair tool [www.microsoft.com]
- uninstall .NET Visual C++ Redistributable versions lower than 4.6.2 in Control Panel --> Uninstall a program

You should have .NET framework in Windows by default. To double check this, you can find it by opening Start -> Type "windows feature" enter--> then you see .NET 4.7 is on by default
