RPCS3 Version: 0.0.9-10105-cd649905 Alpha

Sometimes it would give me the main menu and then freezes, if it doen't freeze at or after Naughty Dog's logo. When it reaches the menu, it doesn't dislpay the scene, only the menu and the sounds.

hi guys, 

after a few years i've played again TLOU on rpcs3 and I want to share my experience

my specs are a 2600X + RX 580 + 16GB ram

so, i was experiencing the crashes at the intro screens. after watching a tutorial by Zerox himself, I managed to get the game going with no freezes!

for me, it was the "driver wakeup delay" in the "advanced" tab. Default i 0, Zerox suggested 30 microseconds. Now the game never crashes for me.

he says that the higher the value, the more stable, but also the higher the value, the less FPS you get. for me, it does not go over 13 FPS

other fellows with intel i7-8700K @ 5GHz can run it stable at 25/30FPS no problem.

Do not make reports with unofficial builds, those posts won't be approved. Read the Guidelines.

Beaten the game from start to finished.  Gameplay FPS is unstable.  Game is acceptably playable with non-default setting (CheatEngine patch).  Long gameplay (+3hr) got no crash at all (except for 2-crashes at Hotel elevator & Underground Tunnel).

• More Playable with Res Scale=100% 720p
  
• All chapters are almost playable even with low FPS (Most area performs close to 30FPS)
  
• Menu/Gameplay are correctly well-rendered even with Res. Upscaling (Landscape/Rain/Water/Snow/Fog/Shadow/Flame gun…etc)
  

# Gameplay FPS = (18~30)
# Cutscenes stable (29~30)
# Cutscenes stable (59~60) – By CheatEngine!!

# Intel i9-9900K @ 3.60GHz | 32GB RAM | 2070S 8GB Nvidia | NVMe storage (3500MB/2500MB Read/Write).

I playing the game with master 10435,and this patch. No cheatengine,no vodoo magic. 
Only 3x times freezing the emulator,and the restart always helped. But Now i,am in the Hotel undergrund and the elevator accident.
Always stopped the emulator when Joel falls into the water,and the flsahlight turns on.  I hear the flashlight,but not see because freezing. No error messsage,no trap error.

I think the flaslight light is the problem. When i begin the game,i push the R3 my flaslight have light,but now in Hotel after 3hour gameplay i push the R3,and no light!!!?? 
I have dualshock4,and the shake charge is working when started the game.  
try clear all cache but not helped.
 Any idea??

if you read my step carefully, you will definitely bypass this issue with elevator scene crash.



1) Use rpcs3-v0.0.9-10297 (of course, transfer ur save into this version temporarily)
2) Use/enable trap patch. 
3) Blackscreen immediately appears after falling from elevator scene, wait till (R3) logo appear alone in blackscreen (which mean autosave is done). close RPCS3.
4)Transfer savegame to your latest rpcs3 version.
5) run your latest rpcs3 version
6) Savegame will load at "after elevator fall" while your are at the water.

Latest RPCS3 ver, Log (in elevator scene) might NOT detect more than fisrt 15-Line error.  To bypass the crash, emulator must detect 19-line trap error with elevator scene & 20-line trap error for underground tunnel.  && this is done by rpcs3-v0.0.9-10297
