Cult of the Lamb freezing

I play on PC and Cult of the Lamb has never had any issues. However, after receiving a holy talisman piece from a God Tear (The second time I have obtained one through a God tear) the game froze up. I couldn't get it to unfreeze so I had to close the software. Luckily I had only been playing for a few minutes and didn't lose much progress. But after returning from a round of purgatory I used another God Tear and receied the holy talisman piece again. It froze, again. The same thing happening twice did not feel like a coincidence so I'm wondering if it is some sort of bug.

I still haven't unlocked every fleece yet and having to play a round of Russian Roulette every time I want to spend a God Tear is not going to be fun. I have a fairly decent PC that can run the game smoothly at max graphics so I do not know what the problem is. If anyone could help, that would be really appreciated.
