Drakengard 3 [BLUS31197]

I'm able to load the game and get in game with decently good performance on an i7-5820k and a GTX 1070. Unfortunately, the game seems to randomly crash on the sister's fight, and reliably crash whenever you activate intoner mode.
I'd be more than happy to help out with logs or whatever is needed.

Running version RPCS3 v0.0.4-6304-4231ea2e Alpha

More or less smooth gameplay with fps between 20-30fps.

Crashes when using special move from R3+L3. Did not complete the first mission, but got to the point where the help suggested using the special move.

Edit: Crashes refer to the game crash, not RPCS3.

Tested with RPCS3 v0.0.4-6422-95c6ac699 Alpha.

The game booted just fine and the opening movies played perfectly. Once in-game, I had frequent framerate drops from 30fps (capped) down to about 20-25fps, usually when attacking enemies, accompanied by audio stuttering and occasional silences for a couple of seconds or so, but the game was playable with the exception of the Intoner Mode crash mentioned above. The framerate and audio were generally smooth at 30fps when running around empty areas after killing the enemies.

Just as drakenaborion found, activating Intoner Mode after instructed by the tutorial prompt caused the game to immediately freeze with an access violation. A second attempt at playing let me get as far as the end of the prologue, froze with an access violation just after the cutscene where Michael and Zero fall off a cliff. A third attempt, just now, froze with an access violation during the cutscene right after the first boss (the puppet golem thing), just before Zero confronts her sisters.

I've attached a log of the third run. The fatal error message appeared to be:

F {PPU[0x1000000] Thread (main_thread) [0x008da9a8]} MEM: Access violation reading location 0x68c

Runs very well but occasionally get the same mem access error as above...

I think now can be considered as playable, at least we can pass the tutorial with that trophy fix (right now i finished chapter 2 without problems).

Really? I can barely finish Chapter 0. When leaving the house, the game always keeps locking up/crashing for me. Are you using default settings or did you change anything specific? 
I'm using RPCS3 0.0.5-6626 with default settings on Vulkan, with a i5 8600k, GTX1060 and 16GB DDR4, if that is relevant. 
Also, I'm including my logfile from Prologue start to crash.

//Edit: Scratch that. Fixed it by deinstalling the 1.01 patch and DLCs aside from the JP Voice. With strict rendering it works just fine with default settings and Vulkan. Practically stable 30 FPS. 
Also, strict rendering is needed otherwise you get missing graphics/effects.

The game is playable with a rock solid 30 fps apart from areas with heavy action scenes which suffers from some audio crackling.

Disable SPU loop detection and try SPU preferred threads 1/2 this solved audio issues for many other people, but it wont work with a slow/midrange CPU.

Unfortunately, it didn't help that match & 3 is the sweet spot for me (performance wise) using i7 2600k.
