RPCS3 0.0.8-9365-aeed349a alpha - Vulkan renderer
Progresses normally and performs well without any exotic settings (steady 30, drops to low 20s in large environments with R9 Fury+1800X).
At level 4 (Plane-wrecked), following the first cutscene with the aircraft going down, the game is just a flat white screen, with HUD elements. Persists on strict rendering mode. Unable to progress.

You need to enable Write color buffers for at least that chapter. I know others past it don't need it, but I don't know exactly which ones do.
Managed to complete this game from beginning to end on RPCS3 0.0.20-13151-9766d871 Alpha

For the most part, the game ran at a solid 30 FPS, with drops down to low 20s occasionally. The exception to this was the very last chapter where for a good amount of time the frame rate was close to 20. The game was initially freezing at random places, but setting Driver Wake Up Delay to 200 microseconds appear to have eliminated this problem. Chapter 4 and 6 needed "Write Color Buffers" on, and I forgot to turn it off after Chapter 6 so I don't know which later ones needed it specifically. Turned on the "Disable Motion Blur" patch at some point but I don't think it improved performance

Once in the game, I accessed the dev menu, and went to RENDERING>MESH OPTIONS and disabled sunlight shadowbuffer draw, and disabled local light shadowbuffer draw.
To access the dev menu, press L3+START at the same time. You can exit by using TRIANGLE. Also, you can disable the info by pressing L3+TRIANGLE

This worked beautifully for me
The only difference I made was: GPU/Resolution Scale 200% and it still flows smooth. Thanks!

I had to enable Advanced -> Write Depth Buffers when I enabled Write Color Buffers as well, otherwise some effects like smoke would appear through objects that should block them.
