Tales of XIllia - Random freezing

castlebAby commented 4 years ago

Quick summary

I've gotten 3 freezes so far playing this game. They seem to be pretty random but I figure I would report it anyways.

Details

The first time this happened was in a shop menu early on in the game. The game would freeze but the music would still play. At the time I thought about posting a report and copy/pasted the log from the rpcs3 log console here https://pastebin.com/imKKJfUe I started the game again from my last save point and tried to retrace my steps and the freeze didn't occur so I decided not to report it.

The second time was during a cut scene in Nia Khera. (not a movie scene) Similar type of freeze, the music was still playing in the background. Something that I found weird however, was that the character's expression the game froze on, did not occur when I replayed the game again from a save. (Specifically it froze on Milla smiling slightly with her eyes closed, and when I watched it a second time she didn't even blink in that moment of the scene.) I didn't save any logs from this crash.

The most recent third time it froze was again in a cutscene of a sub event. I will attach the log of this crash.

5. Please provide your system configuration:

Windows 10 Pro 1093 Build 18362.900
Intel Core i7-9700k @ 3.6 GHz
Nvidia 2070 Super
GeForce Game Ready Driver Version 451.48

Please include.

I also want to mention that I do have my settings changed for this game as recommended on the RPCS3 Tales of Xillia wiki page. I'm using the Vulkan Renderer with a framelimit of 60, and my VBlank Frequency at 30Hz. I also went and changed the PPU Threads from 2 to 1 in the config file as stated on the wiki.

Let me know if there is any more information I can provide.

Thanks for all your work guys!

Hi @castlebAby just a little off topic does your Tales of Xillia runs on 1080p resolution without crashing?

Hi @castlebAby just a little off topic does your Tales of Xillia runs on 1080p resolution without crashing?

Under supported resolutions it does not mention 1080p, the most is 720p. Is there a way I can force it to run 1080p to test this?

I had similar problems in the beginning when playing through Xillia 1 and 2. It always freezed with sound still running after 10-40min. I have a 6700k and RTX 2080. I was able to play for 8-10 hours straight without any problems after disabling TSX. I basically didn't have any crashs anymore. All other settings were like recommended. I thought it might be due to Skylake. I think somewhere i read once that TSX is faulty with it.. but could have been Hasewell as well..

Can't confirm. I played through the whole game (32 hours) without a single crash (some sessions even lasted over 8 hours) Maybe try @hyper92 suggestion and turn off tsx. (I was running a ryzen 5 3600 and a radeon rx 580 at the time of playing through this game last year)

There is some truth to this. I finished ToX1 in 45 hours and encountered 3 random crashes and finished ToX2 in 70 hours and encountered 2 random crashes. Since I auto-save often, each time it happened I lost only 2-3 minutes of progress. So I didn't mind it at all. True to it's name, the crashes are completely random. Some people don't get any at all, others get a few on rare occasions.

But I'm not sure if an issue ticket for such a bug is necessary. Don't think it can be debugged with so little information on the reason for the crash. Maybe a developer can chip in here.

BTW, I have a i7 4790 with normal BIOS. So no TSX.

bikeking8 commented 4 years ago

I was experiencing the same thing the past 2 days until I came upon this thread, and after disabling TSX, applying the change (one thing I forget to do sometimes), then saving the configuration (custom configuration in my case), it's been working. I have an i7-7700K so it does have TSX instructions if I'm not mistaken. That makes sense that HerrHulaHoop did not if they don't have TSX functionality.

EDIT: I posted under the wrong game, I was referring to Xillia 2, but perhaps the TSX part might still be applicable.

orbea commented 2 years ago

I experienced a single freeze like this in Tales of Xillia, disabled TSX and have not been able to reproduce it yet.

Retest with latest master. TSX issues has been fixed in #11265.

I ran the game for 11 hours, and it froze, after which I tried to stop the game and it crashed the emulator. Warning: uncompressed log is about 900 MB https://www21.zippyshare.com/v/SP6KsXiZ/file.html (file too large to be uploaded)

I also had a friend of mine run the game, his game also froze, but didn't crash. This log is only about 400 MB RPCS3.log.gz
