Howdy y'all, I see the thread hasn't been updated in some time but I wanted to post an update so that any future members can see where the game status is at in 2022.

Currently running RPCS3 0.0.20-13138-61d98526 Alpha. For systems spec reference I'm running on a Windows 11, IntelCore i-7 12700, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060.

The game runs pretty weird on the basic configuration settings. It's about 30 FPS and the wrestlers are lit up like a Christmas tree, though the lighting seems to be a bit janky no matter what. I ran through a few variations in the custom boot settings and found one that seems to work decently enough to allow the game to be somewhat playable. These are the settings I changed from the default:

Renderer: Vulkan
Framelimit: 60
Additional: Strict Rendering Mode

The lighting is still messed up (Only on the wrestlers, they look like copper statues tbh) but it runs at a normal game speed and plays pretty well. One issue I did have that I haven't found a way around yet is that the game tends to crash after one match, and I'm still not certain how to fix that, but one match is more than I thought I'd be able to work in. The game always gives out the fail status of

"E SYS: 'sys_fs_unlink' failed with 0x80010006 : CELL_ENOENT, NULL [2]"

Just wanted to keep the thread alive with an update!

Test Date: 4/5/23
RPCS3 Build: 0.0.27-14843-8a509afc Alpha | master
CPU:  AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor | 12 Threads | 15.95 GiB RAM | TSC: 3.600GHz | AVX+ | FMA3
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 w/ 8 GB of VRAM

Tested using 2 different 1 on 1 matches in exhibition mode, one of which used a custom attire and the other used a regular base attire. Both were for the WWE Championship and one of them also had the Million Dollar Championship on the line.

Game is definitely running better compared to the last time I played it, although graphically there are still some issues. Game runs between the low 30s to mid 40s in matches, while entrances/in game cutscenes don't seem to go above 30, with menus running at or just below 60fps. 

Wrestlers in the entrances can look completely red like the Brood/Gangriel just gave them a bloodbath, and it seems that some of the red tint is kept during the match, as shown below. Custom attires seem to not be working 100%, giving you whatever John Cena looks like now in his N.W.O attire.

Matches no longer get stuck in an infinite loading screen upon completion, as I was successfully able to complete both matches and get back to the main menu (although Randy Orton disappeared from the title screen after the 2nd one, oddly enough.)
