Silent Hill: Homecoming - Black Screen just before ending cutscene

Exmortis50 commented 1 year ago

Quick summary

Hitting a reproducible black screen freeze after the final boss cutscene, but right before the ending starts (I'm on track for the good ending, specifically). Tested on AMD desktop and Intel and Nvidia laptop.

Details

Right after you defeat the final boss and Alex walks into the camera and the screen fades out, I briefly see the typical book object in the top-left corner of the screen, and then it just simply hangs and freezes with a black screen. Normally, this should go to the next and final cutscene right after an actual loading screen.

System configuration

Desktop: Custom Ryzen 7 3700x RX 6700XT - Version 2.0.288 Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 870 EVO 2TB SSD OS: Arch Linux

Laptop: Dell Inspiron 7559 i7-6700HQ GTX 960M - Version 545.29.2.0 Timetec and OEM (?) 16GB DDR3L 1600MHz WD Blue 6TB HDD (from a NAS RAID) OS: Arch Linux

Other details

I tried disabling all patches (60fps and no film grain) and enhancements individually, including using default settings. Verified the dump, reinstalled the game a few times, did a second dump of the game itself (from the disc).

Just tested it after updating today. Yes, this seems to still be unresolved.

I mean, supposedly this guy managed to complete the game fully, including the good ending. It was also uploaded two years ago and I don't know what OS they were using. It's either a Linux-only problem or a regression.

Though, my issue was placed on the RPCS3 wiki itself as "Known Issues", so they are at least aware of it and, I assume, the problem is verifiable? https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Silent_Hill:_Homecoming

Still, it's really frustrating not being able to fully complete the game, when they still have it listed as "Playable".

That sucks! I really like this game and wanted to go through it again since I've only beat it once. If I decide to anyway, I'll update on wether I get to see the ending or not.
