Hey Pablo I realize that you have a different result to mine so here is my result that'll be updated if I need to

Also Laptop specs are

Nvida GTX 1650 AMD Ryzen 5000 series 8gb ram Direct 3D 12 (Whoops my GPU doesn't Vulkan)Also Vulkan doesn't Work (Doesn't boot up the game or show it on the icon on the window) I use the unleashed mod manager to turn it on so is there another way to turn it on other than the mod manager?

Patches on or off don't effect the result

1st Main area Crashes randomly making going into levels hard

Windmill Isle Act 1 Day Grass exploding which is a seizer warning

Windmill isle Act 2 Day Works perfectly with slow down

Cutscene 1 Crashes with the same error as the main area

Cutscene 2 Works Perfectly

NIGHT Act 1 Works perfectly

Plane Section 1 Works perfectly

[pablo5425]

all i have to know is if someone else is having the same issue i commented above keep playing until you get to the boss battle in mazuri also the version i used to run the game can be found in the first post. i changed some settings in the config file to make it run properly tho

[MegaloDawn]

Also some people say that to "fix" the grass explosion on windmill isle act 1 you press F5 well that isn't a fix as its a work around the issue and it doesn't fix it permanently you boot it up and you have to press F5 again, it's inconvenient. Also I use a 60fps patch.

[MegaloDawn]

also Spagonia hub world crash when entering sometimes xenia.log

[pablo5425]

stick to the specific issue that is being discussed here, please

[MegaloDawn]

@pablo5425 can I give you my save so you can finish Rooftop run act1 as it is impossible for me to finish it.

[pablo5425]

@EpicDoodleboy2 thats going to be impossible. its not in the supported github file extensions search for a save file somewhere else. if you only play for testing a 100% save should do it

[MegaloDawn]

@EpicDoodleboy2 thats going to be impossible. its not in the supported github file extensions search for a save file somewhere else. if you only play for testing a 100% save should do it.

What about zipping the file? I know because I uploaded .zip formats and it works with all the files intact. Also I want to test the cutscenes if it works and log every error that isn't a duplicate. And I want to test how the whole game works with a AMD Cpu and Nvidea GPU and then make a results table on which cutscene and stages work or not.

Test this Put this SU Save in the contents.zip

[pablo5425]

@EpicDoodleboy2 your save allowed me to select this boss battle from world map the game froze on this loading screen. emulator is still running. no crash or anything. the game just "froze" xenia.log

[MegaloDawn]

I think it might depend on your pc specs and if their updated to the latest firmware also can you try Rooftop run act 1 Night please to see if it crashes for you also the game can freeze for me as well on different areas and its random so it could be different depending on what type of hardware you are using. Relaunch the game and go back to the boss beetle and press F5 before going in. Also I done Holoski Act 1 Day on that save.

[pablo5425]

rooftop run act 1 night loads perfectly. cant test it further atm going to try that F5 method later but i have to know where do i have to press it exactly. before selecting the stage? during load screen? after it froze?

F5 MAY work, before selecting the stage

Rooftop act1 loads and works until You after put in the yellow gem and then crashes after you enter the room. If you manage to finish it can you send me the save file plz.

[pablo5425]

F5 did not work i was able to fully make rooftop run act 1 start to end with 0 issues besides some small fps drops when there is a big amount of objects on screen. adding the save file with the stage cleared 53450812.zip

[MegaloDawn]

Amy and the dancing incident Cutscene Works Mission Works After cutscene works

[MegaloDawn]

I might know why the game gets stuck at loading, The game depends on a lag spike to know when to get out of the loading screen due to consoles lagging it lets the loading screen know the assests have been loaded but when it is smooth and never lags the game doesn't know what todo so you get softlocked. So the 60fps patch needs to put 30fps to the loading screens which will give it enough time to load the assets. Or I've seen when it hits 59-60fps it gets softlocked but when its over that number it loads fine so 60fps should be 64fps or above to make loading much easier.

[MegaloDawn]

So I made a results Folder including the errors I got from playing the game and the results of which Stage or cutscene that Does or Doesn't work. Done Aptos to Hokoski. I haven't done all stages yet alr.... Its using my hardware. Xenia Canary Unleashed results AMD CPU + NVIDEA GPU V1.zip

[MegaloDawn]

Also to load into levels i have to mash All the buttons while pushing up to lag the game to load which is annoying.

[MegaloDawn]

@pablo5425 I need your help for a level again this time it is empire city night it keeps crashing when spawning the same enemy at that one part. Also another error report zip. 53450812 EC.zip [Xenia Canary Unleashed results AMD CPU AND NVIDEA GPU V1.2.zip]

[MegaloDawn]

ok I'm going to cheat a little as I have concluded that SU is impossible to beat without major patches so if you want to play SU for Xenia I would recommend the SU HDR mod it runs hub worlds better maybe stages well for crashes but not performance it WILL give less performance. https://gamebanana.com/mods/445141. Ill continue but its recommended to get the mod.

Loading can be less painful by setting the "texture_cache_memory_limit_soft_lifetime" from 30 to 12 well for me

[MegaloDawn]

huh it can fix some things

Hey Pablo, Have you tried setting your "texture_cache_memory_limit_soft_lifetime" from 30 to 15 in you Xenia config file it could fix somethings.

[MegaloDawn]

I'm finally at Eggman Land.

[MegaloDawn]

ok I have a almost complete zip file of results here it is.

[MegaloDawn]

Can't do credits due to a AMY crash but I did finish the final boss but Shamar crashes the game. I got VERY Lucky to avoid a AMY crash. @pablo5425

As if Xenia Canary https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/commit/feb88ee6b1bedbfcfee4d5e682b3bf782cfa8a9b , you're able to play Sonic Unleashed using D3D12 ROV again. I was able to change the rendering engine from Vulkan to DirectX 12 and haven't suffered a guest/host crash yet. Textures look okay as well, and so does the lighting and ambient occlusion. There's an annoying loading-zone bug that I encountered as well where it would softlock/never load the next area. There needs to be specific parameters in order to run in D3D12 mode now so as to not get flashbanged

Additional notes: Attempting to upscale to 1080p via config does nothing other than upscale the UI and font. To truly upscale the resolution, you must increase the draw_resolution_scale (x/y) parameter from 1 to 2. This has the unfortunate side effect of breaking certain stages.

store_shaders is necessary for D3D12 ROV, as Adabat stages will flashbang you, or blindfold you. host_guest_stack_sync is to fix the LUA LongJMP crash that happens, clear memory page state is also necessary to fix the exploding textures.

Suggested Tags: state-gameplay, gpu-shading-errors, gpu-drawing-corrupt, gpu-readback (memexport is only needed to fix a majority of the small shading errors)

I would recommend using D3D12 instead of Vulkan, as the latest Canary has fixed buffer

d3d12_readback_memexport = true
d3d12_tiled_shared_memory = false

[GPU]
clear_memory_page_state = true 
store_shaders = true
render_target_path_d3d12 = "rov"

[Storage]
mount_cache = true

[x64]
enable_host_guest_stack_synchronization = true

[mrmaller1905]

Graphical artifacts or glitches every time Sonic reaches the bridge

[Fanaticalight]

Have you enabled Flush GPU Cache in your settings? I've encountered the exploding polygons issue but enabling that parameter fixed that on the version I tested (Aug 11, 2024)

Werehog constantly flashes under light sources. Using Vulkan on Canary 764f230dd

Yeah im pretty sure thats from the actual fur that comes off of him. disabling it using a mod fixed it so thats definitely the cause.

Understood. I reported this issue because it had never happened before (at least until March 2024).

[EnvixityB02]

alright idk if i'm allowed to link this here but use this guide to play the game with fixes and stuff https://gamebanana.com/tuts/17062
