I spent some time getting this title to work.
After some testing i suspect newer versions of rpcs3 have a regression with madden titles causing this error to occur when attempting to load the game:
F {PPU[0x100001a] Thread (FGGameRender) [0x003d5fac]} SIG: Thread terminated due to fatal error: Verification failed
(in file D:\a\1\s\rpcs3\Emu\RSX\VK\VKRenderTargets.h:601[:10], in function as_rtt) (e=0x0000007e[126])
I tried this version: (rpcs3-v0.0.10-10518-c764925b_win64) and the game boots fine without the issue every single time.
There is also an issue with an audio and visual studder/lag after every play being caused by the game attempting to record and save the instant replays resulting in this error:
E {PPU[0x1000005] Thread (/dev_hdd0) [0x02712090]} SYS: 'sys_fs_open' failed with 0x80010006 : CELL_ENOENT, “/dev_hdd1/Replays/savedreplay001.ply” [1]
This issue can be helped, but not fixed completely by setting your FPS limit to 30.
There is also still the issues with the black field which can be fixed by enabling WCB + Force CPU blit, and disabling async shaders on first boot.
In Summary:
If you are looking to play madden 17 and possibly this may apply to other madden titles as well,
-Use version (rpcs3-v0.0.10-10518-c764925b_win64)
-Enable WCB + Force CPU blit, and disable async shader on first boot to fix the black field. (you can re-enable async after loading in a match for the first time)
-Limit FPS to 30 if you are experiencing audio studder and game lag after each play(Caused by instant replay). This wont fix it completely, but will help minimize it.
Let me know if this helps anyone get the game working for them so i know if this information is helpful / correct.
