Fatal error after update (Windows 7 only)

I just tried the new version - [v0.0.16-12240 Alpha [2021-05-12] ] and it's still not loading RPCS3 at all. it's the same error now changed to "thread id = 9632"

14-05-2021 Edit: just tried the new version "v0.0.16-12248 Alpha [2021-05-13]" and it still is broken, i tried launching it three or four times and the thread id error keeps changing for some reason.

Hello there, new user here!

I've had the same problem after the latest update (13/5/21, Ver. 0.0.16-12247-4e12e709 Alpha). RPCS3 was working fine with previous build that was current on 5/5.
Error screenshot and log files attached.


Appreciate the support!

Hello everybody,

it just so happened that I came across the very same problem as you good people out there. RPCS3 won´t start up anymore after I updated the emulator recently. I checked that all my drivers are up to date and even reinstalled some visual C++´s anew, but with no succes up until this point. . . I still use Win7 x64, could that be the problem? A couple of days ago everything worked totally fine for me.

As I said, it's a known issue with Windows 7, if someone could provide a backtrace of the crash from Visual Studio it would help.

For those NOT on Windows 7, you're talking about a different issue. Please use another thread.

Same problem with RPCS3. I can't launch the emulator, it's always giving me the same error -

"Unhandled Win32 exception 0xC0000005
Segfault writing location 0000000000000000 at 000007fefd0bb12."



Windows 7 SP1
Intel i7-3770
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB (Drivers are up to date)

How do I make a backtrace?? Do I need a special programm to do this?? I am no pro in these kind of things. . . From what I can tell nothing changed as for the programm Visual Studio 2019 itself. This issue must be produced because of the new emulator ver. since everything worked fine until the updates came along.

I'm trying to give you that "backtrace" you asked for.
Unfortunately... I cannot seem to compile RPCS3 in VS2019.
I get 387 errors (most of them being C1083 "No such file or directory" errors) and 1 warning when I do so.
I'm using the rpcs3-master build from GitHub.
Folder location: E:\

You didn't update the submodules, you only fetched the main repo

git submodule update --init

You didn't update the submodules, you only fetched the main repo

git submodule update --init

I'll go ahead and say that this is the very first time that I'm doing this sort of thing.
So I have no idea on how or where I should use that command.

--------Some time later--------

I tried to use
git submodule update --init https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3.git
git submodule update --init --recursive https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3.git
git submodule update --recursive https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3.git

In GitHub Desktop, but I got an error saying "Not supported".
I followed this guide here: https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/GitSub...ticle.html

By the way... I got these errors in VS: qt5.cmake line 7 (QT5) and
CMakeLists.txt line 268 (SDL2) when trying to compile RPCS3.

I downloaded QT6 (latest) afterwards. But it's only the source code. Too tired to keep looking.
Anyway... It's 3:30am here, and my eyes are burning. I'll reply later.

Hopefully you'll be able to guide me in the right direction.

Should be fixed on the latest build

For future reference, you're supposed to git clone the repository and then run the submodule update inside the repository's folder

git clone https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3.git
cd rpcs3
git submodule update --init

And then just follow BUILDING.md
