RPCS3.log.gz

F {RSX [0x00059e4]} RSX: class std::runtime_error thrown: Assertion Failed! Vulkan API call failed with unrecoverable error: Device lost (Driver crashed with unspecified error or stopped responding and recovered) (VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST)

as soon as it should display splash screens

Need a log with debug output enabled (requires vulkan SDK)

Can confirm regression. Same problem with NINJA GAIDEN Σ2 [NPUB30852] during in-game cutscenes.

Exactly the same problem with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
Also freeze with RSX: class std::runtime_error thrown: Assertion Failed! Vulkan API call failed with unrecoverable error: Device lost (Driver crashed with unspecified error or stopped responding and recovered) (VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST)
ON cut scenes only. ((
OPenGL fix that problem, but work slow ((

Yea, these games are buggy, so you see that annoying error about "invalid 2D region". Simple enough to fix, a patch will be made available soon.

This also effects Beyond Good & Evil HD [NPUB30394] (only in Vulkan).

[kd-11]

The fix has been available for some time, just cleaning up for proper PR in the next 24h.

Still not fixed on your latest build if this is the correct build:

Same error with with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 too..
(VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST)

[kd-11]

Not the correct build.

[pitkevich80]

So next build?

[legend800]

Sorry forgot to mention same thing with your Optimizations branch. Figured it wasn't in your MSAA branch. Maybe it's in a top secret branch then... :)

[pitkevich80]

YAY! It finally work now ;) Almost perfectly ..

@kd-11 reporting from #6983 since it was a duplicate of this issue. Commit cd6b6c8a4f19595ac339efbf86602ecf59b5a497 fixed the issue with Far Cry hanging on initial startup, but it still hangs at the loading screen. I've seen it do this before, but never this consistently (I tried 5-6 times and it hung every time). It might be sourced from the same problem as #5968 and if so, it's probably entirely unrelated so please disregard. Thanks for any help here.
