RPCS3 Forums

Hi,

Any game I try to run on RPCS3 boots and goes to a black screen saying "Compiling shaders" in the bottom left corner. After waiting ~5 minutes, it goes to a white screen and hangs. I've tried all different renderers, different compilers/interpreters, enabling/disabling Write Color Buffers and changing SPU threads, etc.

I have the latest drivers for my GPU. As a baseline, I keep every game at 16:9 aspect ratio, 720p, OpenGL/Vulkan. I've previously run games on prior builds of RPCS3 on this rig in the past without this issue, and I've completely removed RPCS3 before upgrading to newer versions each time. 

I've attached a log that details the launch process, using Demon's Souls as an example.

Any help much appreciated, thank you.

Specs for reference:

• CPU: Intel Xeon W3690
  
• GPU: AMD R9 380 4GB
  
• OS: Windows 10 Pro
  
• RAM: 24GB DDR3 1666mhz
  
• Video Drivers: Adrenalin 18.6.1
  

I can't find the log so I can't look at it, but it sounds as though you haven't installed any firmware.
If you haven't, then you'll have no libraries, so nothing will happen when you boot games (you'll just have a white screen).

Go download the latest firmware from:
https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/get-he...-software/
Afterwards, in RPCS3, go to File > Install Firmware and locate your UPDATE.PUP file. It will install the firmware.
Then try loading a game.

The AMD drivers you're using are bugged.
All AMD drivers between 18.5.1 and 18.8.1 are broken. Update RPCS3 and your drivers.
