God of War II HD [NPEA00256]

I'm at a part in the game that causes a total crash every single time without failure. During the Theseus boss fight the game will freeze every single time. Sometimes it's in the early portion of the fight, sometimes it's right towards the end.
error text reads

Code:

E {rsx::thread} RSX: dst index out of range: 16
E {rsx::thread} RSX: ERROR: 0:215: 'dst_reg16' : undeclared identifier
ERROR: 0:215: '' : compilation terminated
ERROR: 2 compilation errors.  No code generated.


E {rsx::thread} RSX:
F {rsx::thread} class std::runtime_error thrown: Failed to compile vertex shader
(in file Emu\RSX\VK\VKVertexProgram.cpp:345)

I'm attaching screenshots of my settings. I would like to note that I've tried this well over half a dozen times.

Same for GoW I HD
