I don't know where else to ask. Last night everything was normal. 60 fps everywhere no matter what. Today I start the game and I can barely get to 30 fps. The game stutters badly. I can't even get to 60 fps in the Nexus, only when I'm looking at the sky. If I deactivate the 60 fps patch the problem is somewhat diminished, 28-30 fps with way less stuttering. I tried other games, such as the Ninja Gaidens, and they run fine. It's only Demon's Souls that's giving me problems. I tried everything. I checked if there were any updates in windows update, restarted the pc many times, even checked if there were any deactivated cores in the bios. Everything was fine.
There hasn't been a new rpcs3 version, nor new drivers, it just stopped working from night to day without any apparent reason.
RPCS3 v0.0.13-11336-13a0b887 Alpha | HEAD | Firmware version: 4.86
Intel® Core™ i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz | 16 Threads | 31.92 GiB RAM | TSC: 3.600GHz | AVX+ | FMA3
Operating system: Windows, Major: 10, Minor: 0, Build: 19041, Service Pack: none, Compatibility mode: 0
RSX: Found vulkan-compatible GPU: 'GeForce GTX 970' running on driver 457.30.0.0
S UPDATER: RPCS3 is up to date!
Edit: I tried lowering the resolution from 1440p to 720p, no change.
I noticed that GPU utilization as soon as i'm in game skyrockets to 100%, while the CPU is only around 20-30%. This doesn't happen with any other game, not even with GOW 3. I don't know what the GPU utilization was when it was working perfectly, though.
Edit2: I also got this crash. The audio was stuttering more and more even in the zones where I get to 55-60 fps (usually before it would take like 5-8 hours of continuous playing before the audio began stuttering and a crash would happen):
F {RSX [0x038c7fc]} SIG: Thread terminated due to fatal error: Verification failed:
(in file D:\a\1\s\rpcs3\Emu\RSX\VK\VKDraw.cpp:387)
EDIT3: I FIXED IT. It was fairly easy once I knew what was going on. The GPU had nothing to do with that, or it would've affected the entire system, not just one emulated game. Here's what I did: I asked a tech friend of mine, and he asked me if there had been any storms in my area during the last days, during which I had the PC on. He then told me that maybe some file that was passing through the RAM might have ben corrupted during one of those storms, and told me to simply run sfc /scannow from the cmd. There were a lot of drivers that had been damaged that the command substituted... After that I deactivated the XMPII profile (which I used to brute-force through the damaged files in the RAM) and tried Demon's Souls again... It runs at 60 fps. The Issue is no more.
Still get the crash, though.
