Showcase Video 
Watch Here (Inc. Config + VB = 120Hz)

I watched your video and tried your settings above and it still freezes after the cutscene. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can you provide all of your settings that aren't default settings?

Playable (Updating Post #02)
Beaten the game from start to finish.  FPS is Stable. (HDD data is successfully installed).  Graphics/Cutscenes are well-rendered. (some "out of focus" Cutscenes are performing differently compared to the PC version, whilst Focus Aim & smartphone mode graphics are working well).  Sound/Effects are clearly working.

# Gameplay FPS = (29~30)
# Cutscenes Stable (29~30)

RPCS3 Error: Bypass Crash Chapter 2 Intro cutscene ONLY (Effective solution)
rsx: Thread terminated due to fatal error: Verification failed
# Remove Shaders Cache
# Enable Recompiler (ASMJIT)
# Run the game in “Windowed Mode” (optional)

For me only thing Enable Recompiler (ASMJIT) did was turn off the menu music and dialog in the game when I booted it up. Still after the cutscene to begin the 2nd mission ended it still froze.

To anyone that's still stuck, I've managed to pass the freeze point at the beginning of chapter 2 (BLUS30289) by switching the SPU Decoder to Interpreter (Dynamic) (if that doesn't work, also try switching the PPU Decoder to Interpreter (static)). It will slow the game down, but with patience you can play until the next checkpoint, then restart and continue with the original settings. I've now passed that point and can continue the game without any issues.

If anyone wants to see my custom config, let me know and I'll put it up.

Beaten few hours ago but only using the savegame downloaded from this forum. I think it's not fair to call it "playable" without any additional information in the wiki.
at least, it should be written that it needs Enable Write Color Buffer (GPU).
anyway, I used RPCS3 Version: 0.0.33-16999-938306a7 Alpha
I had also four or five crash during the loading of a new chapter, but after restarting the game, it worked.

Config all default except:
Resolution Scale: 200
Multithreaded RSX: true
Asynchronous Texture Streaming 2: true
RSX FIFO Accuracy: Atomic

Thanks again to the developers for the great job. Playing this game in higher res is really worth it.
