Rpcs3: Unhandled Win32 exception 0xC0000005

[Keksus1]

I'm getting this windows error message pop-up when trying to run Steins;Gate 0 with DX12. Happens even before anything shows up at all.

@Keksus1 Stack trace, log, LLE modules, GPU, CPU, OS?

[Keksus1]

I'm a bit of an inexperienced user. Where can I get the stack trace?

log: https://mega.nz/#!KEZU1ayK!5nlU2wIjbSBJezfQui622K--N1Zmx3w_TDL6HnE-cLg
LLE modules:
cellFiber_Library v1.1
cellSail_Library v1.1
cellSailAvi_Library v1.1
cellSpursJq_Library v1.1
cellSre_Library v1.1
libvdec_Library v1.1

GPU: GeForce GTX 970M
CPU: Intel Core i7-4710HQ
OS: Windows 10 Home 64bit

@Keksus1 Stacktrace can only be obtained through a debugger or a development environment. You probably don't want to go through setting up one, if you aren't a power user.

Here's a couple ideas:

• Make sure your Nvidia drivers are update
• Make sure your laptop is using the Nvidia graphics card not the Intel graphics card for DX12
• If it still doesn't work, also try updating Intel drivers
• For DX12 you can turn off write/read color/depth buffers. These only affect OpenGL currently, though they may in future be needed for very complicated games
• Try changing your audio out to NULL
• Your default settings look slightly outdated. Make sure you have selected the right network adapter and change the connection status to IP obtained

[Keksus1]

Thanks for the advice! I tried the ideas, unfortunately they didn't fix the problem. Don't know if it's worth mentioning, but the game does run when I'm using OpenGL (and of course write/read color/depth buffers turned on). Problem is exclusive to using DirectX12.

[tambry]

@Keksus1 Have you tried to run some games, that are known to work, like Sonic CD?
Other than that, I'm kinda out of ideas, if you're enable to run Sonic CD with DX12.

[Ale100000]

i have the same problem with a gt 740m

[tambry]

You both have mobile graphics cards, so maybe that's at fault here.

[Keksus1]

I thought about that too, and so far it seems like that is most likely the case. Steins;Gate Zero is known to work (judging by all the youtube videos). But I just tried the Sonic CD Trial with DX12 and I'm getting the same error message.

[AniLeo]

@Keksus1 Sail and SailAvi are not needed for Steins;Gate 0. Also enable libavcdec.
I believe you probably forgot to set the D3D adapter.
This has happened to me before.

Happens in "Riff: Everyday Shooter [NPEA00063]"

[Keksus1]

D3D Adapter in this menu? http://i.imgur.com/30fSl7P.jpg That is set to my 970M all the time. Or am I missing another option?

[AniLeo]

Nope, it's correct.
But it has happened to me before where I forgot to set that field with my GPU and it outputted a similar error.

Maybe it is due to the mobile GPU.
I own a laptop with a 330M and a i7 Q740, I could try testing with it but I think the hardware is too weak and outdated to run RPCS3 and would most likely fail.

[Keksus1]

Currently the mobile GPU is most likely the cause. But then again at least this guy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwuWNcNVsF4 is using a 980M and DX12 and it works.

[AniLeo]

That's really weird.
It happened to me on NPEA00063. My card is a AMD R9 280X though.
I guess we gotta wait for a dev's feedback.

[tambry]

Yeah, it's an access violation, but we can't know where it happened, without someone attaching a debugger and grabbing the stack trace. Access violations may happen in many games, and are normal for this stage of development, but if it occurs in every game, then something's wrong.

Once again make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date make sure it's using the Nvidia graphics card and you could try also resetting the configuration by deleting the configuration file.

[Keksus1]

Well... as I'm always trying to learn something new: I downloaded WinDbg and was able to attach it to the process... I think. But I don't know what inputs I have to do for a stack trace. Is that something I could accomplish by copy pasting a few lines or would I need to have actual knowledge of what I'm doing?

[tambry]

@Keksus1 Never heard of WinDbg myself. I suggest you to grab a copy of Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, then go obtain the Github for Windows, Git and CMake. Then you should be able to fork the project using the fork button at the top. Then you should be able to clone it from your account using Github for Windows. After that you'll need to open git shell in the folder (select the project after cloning in the application, click the gear icon at top right and then select _Open in Git shell_). In there you'll need to type: _git submodule update --init_ to download more needed files for compilation. After that you can navigate to the root folder, where Github cloned RPCS3 source (click gear icon and open in explorer). There you'll need to open the rpcs3.sln solution file. Once it has opened up, it should look _something_ like this. You'll need to select _Release_ at the top (you can also select _Release - LLVM_, if you have Python installed). Then you can click the button next to it, which should say _Local Windows Debugger_. After pressing the button, compilation of RPCS3 should start. Note that this may take a while the first time.
Once everything's compiled, a RPCS3 window should pop up :). You should now be able to place your games under in /bin/dev_hdd0/game/ as usual. You can close the RPCS3 window and reopen it by clicking the same button as before. Make sure your settings are right and launch the game. If an access violation occurs, Visual Studio should appear on top and you would see something like this. You should then choose break. At the top select: _Debug->Windows->Callstack_. Something like this should open. You should now select all the lines and then copy them here.

Sorry for the slightly long writeup.

[Keksus1]

Thanks for the writeup. Just went through this step-by-step. I made sure to activate the needed LLE modules again and also use the same settings again.

To some degree it seems like it worked... to some other I think I am now encountering a different problem which doesn't have something to do with the original problem. Still throws an access violation. but the error comes up way earlier now. So I am not quite sure if this is actually the problem I originally encountered.

[tambry]

@Keksus1 Seems like a fault in the emulation itself or too old/too new/corrupted/modified/ modules. Could you also try selecting no audio backend (null)?

[Keksus1]

Just selected Audio Null. Same Error, same stack trace.

I tried switching to the SPU Recompiler instead of Interpreter (fast) and it crashed a bit later with that:

@Keksus1 What FW of modules are you using?

[Keksus1]

The LLE modules? Still the same. Just threw out the Sail and SailAvi and activated libavdec. As suggested by MyaniPT. Or do you mean something different now?

LLE modules:
cellFiber_Library v1.1
cellSre_Library v1.1
cellSpursJq_Library v1.1
libvdec_Library v1.1
libavdec_Library v1.1

[tambry]

@Keksus1 Yes. What FW version?

[AniLeo]

@Keksus1 Those are the modules. I tested S;G 0 with modules from FW 4.73 and 3.55.

[tambry]

@Keksus1 I'm assuming that the modules you used were from OFW. Could you tell me what FW version was SG made with? it should be listed in the games list under FW version or something. If it's something different from those that you used, could you try using modules from a FW that the game was made with?

EDIT:
Different person, oops. But I guess it still applies.

[Keksus1]

Ah. S;G 0 was made with 04.7600

Don't know the version of the modules I used actually. I was using the same as the guy who was able to run it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtBCSduFDTE

[tambry]

@Keksus1 And from what firmware version were his modules?
@MyaniPT Couldn't try using modules from FW 4.76, as SG was made with 4.76.

[AniLeo]

I meant 4.76, not 4.73 above*
And yes, I run s;g 0 with the modules from that version of the OFW

[AniLeo]

Just tried testing with my laptop as promised but seems like this GPU doesn't support DX12 as in
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/dx12/supported-gpus

It's probably useless to report this but OpenGL outputs no video at all, only very shuttered audio.
This GPU is too old, might be irrelevant anyways.

[tambry]

I guess it can be simply closed, if it isn't a HLE or LLE specific exception. Access violations are much less frequent nowadays. For example a year ago you'd be expecting 3/4 games to probably crash due to an access violation at some point.

If there are any objections, let me know and I'll re-open this.

[yancylow]

running RPCS3 in Windows 8 Compatibility fixed this error for me

[clienthax]

Why are you commenting on closed issues from over a year ago...?

[Terugane]

If you google "PS3 Unhandled Win32 exception" this is top result and thanks yancylow your simple fix "running RPCS3 in Windows 8 Compatibility" worked for me and really helped what could of been way more complicated to try to figure out by reading top posts.

[SonixTheHedgiehog]

Same error on GTX 1060 6gb (desktop) , plus an empty "rpcs3 fatal error" window most of the times.
seems ridiculous, but rpcs3 0.0.8 was running project diva f with no problems but after a restart it happens now. i never had this error with any game on any rev. now whole revs have this error.
i guess it might be something with c++ redists.
Also, none of the "Windows x Compatibility" worked.
Just in case, i never used DX12 at all.

[Scratchalang]

^Error with the exact same graphics card, but a laptop. Cannot play any Vulkan games without the error
