Killzone 2 [BCES00081]

It runs OK on latest build on my 9700k - around 50fps on some indoor scenes, but drops to around 10fps when there's lots of particles on screen, the bit where you are driving a tank on like the 3rd stage is a slide-show. Sometimes you just get a black screen when loading your game but usually works second try after restarting the emulation. Some footage here:

Killzone 2 multiplayer, played 50+ hours.
- I noticed that the game doesn't play some sounds. I never heard Visaris voice when playing because on the official hardware he always anounces something. Noticed that I could hear the announcers when I am in spectator mode in radec academy but it happens rarily. At 58:09 https://youtu.be/oyLRaTa0SXk?t=3491 .
- Sometimes when an explosion happens or something else (maybe visaris/announcers speach happens) all other sounds are muffled for some seconds.

- I can see blue lights from enemies chests trough walls and also when an enemy saboteur changes to our team, his nametag can be seen trough walls. (See screenshot 1)
- The gun flash when shooting doesn't have the right opacity/ has no opacity. (Tested with the m82).

- When playing on the map Radec Academy and looking/ being at the centre square everything lags horribly.
It goes from 30-40fps to 14-18fps when looking trough the doors to the main square. (See screenshot 2, and videos)

Everything runs smooth, but I've reach the Maelstra Barrens stage, and when I ride the EXO and move forward until a step drop, the game freezes and I get this error:
F SIG: Thread terminated due to fatal error: Unknown STOP code: 0x3fff (op=0x28000000, Out_MBox=empty)
(in file D:\a\1\s\rpcs3\Emu\Cell\SPUThread.cpp:4800[:22], in function stop_and_signal)

(complete log attached - from rpcs3 starting, to getting the error, to stoping the game)

Another problem is that most of the time the audio doesn't work correctly... there are missing effects or voices (although sometime they work, but mostly don't)

If anyone can help, I'll apreciate it a lot! Thanks in advance!

My dualshock 3 motion sensor doesn't work on windows 11, can you emulate the motion sensor for common controllers like xbox one controller ? Thanks

is it playable like god of war 3 and the last of us? or worst?

Played this game a bit. Very few graphical artefacts:
1) some lights goes throw the textures (e.g. enemy red eyes or transport blue lights) - see screen attached.
2) very rare glitch frame of purple color (I saw about 3 of them during 1 hour play) - I don't know how to screen them - it's like couple of frames.

Anything else seems very good by the moment.

Playable till the final boss - Radek. After killing Radek and going to Visary cabinet game always hangs.
