Metal Slug Anthology - Metal Slug 6 Crashes and/or Freezes with critical deadbeef error (error appears sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, check picture) Also ONLY MS6 has "lower brightness" #14083
Labels
Needs hardware testing
Testing on a real device needed to determine correct behavior.
Milestone
All the games work 100% from start to finish without any issue at all except Metal Slug 6
I'm using the iso of the game (not zip etc)
Sometimes it immediately crashes, sometimes it freezes, sometimes it freezes and gives an error (the pictures below), specifically only happens in Metal Gear Slug 6
The iso is the EUR version of the game (ULES00530) and I don't have any cheats enabled, and I don't even have the cheat button enabled. And I tested with both the cheat button turned on and off (the "Enable Cheat" button)
I restarted the laptop, updated drivers etc, got a fresh install of PPSSPP latest version (v1.11), ran PPSSPP as Admin and without admin (for testing)
What happens?
there is this black filter or something ONLY inside metal slug 6, it's like... The light is dimmed, the brightness is lowered.
When you start metal slug 6, in mission 1, you get to play for a little bit (specifically keep moving to the right in order to enter the 3rd "Area" of mission 1) and after a while (Either in the 2nd "area" of mission 1 or the moment you enter the 3rd "area") a crash occurs and it gives this error and everytime I press "Yes" it simply shows the exact same error again.
If I press "No", the program crashes and dies (as if it was closed through task manager), doesn't even lag or give me a not responding.
The third picture appeared when I turned off "ignore bad memory accesses, the game froze and I pressed "ESC" twice (to get into the menu then out of it) and then it appeared
What should happen?
Well, it shouldn't crash at all
What hardware, operating system, and PPSSPP version? On desktop and mobile phone, GPU matters for graphical issues.
Windows 8.1 , PPSSPP v1.11 (and previously PPSSPP v1.10.3-1003) (both fresh extracted files from buildbot.orphis.net/PPSSPP/index.php)
I tested on both of these versions of PPSSPP
My laptop is old, has integrated GPU, and it uses an Intel CPU
My PPSSPP settings are as follows
Backend: Direct 3D 11
Device: Intel (R) HD Graphics Family
Mode: Buffered Rendering
Simulate Block Transfer Effects: ON
Frame Skipping: OFF
Post Processing Shader #1: OFF
Rendering Resolution: Auto (1:1)
VSync: OFF
Render Duplicate Frames to 60Hz: ON (if it's OFF, the game freezes but doesn't show the error that's in the picture above)
Hardware Transform: ON
Software Skinning: ON
Everything under Software Skinning and is OFF, although I had tested with lazy texture caching, disable slower effects while they were on and it still crashed without showing an error)
Spline/Bender curves quality: Low
Texture scaling and texture filtering are all OFF/xBRZ/Nearest/Nearest
Lower resolution for effects: OFF
Networking - Enable networking/wlan: OFF
(Everything in it is OFF, haven't touched it the default settings)
Fast memory (unstable): OFF (tested it with ON, Metal Slug 6 still crashed and/or freezes and/or gives error)
Ignore Bad Memory accesses: ON (When it's OFF, you can reach up to the 5th Area of mission 1 but it still freezes completely)
In the developer menu I got CPU Core set to "Dynarec (JIT)" it's the default settings, I didn't mess with things there except turning off "Enable Debug Logging" cuz I heard it helps with improving performance.
Also "Enable Driver Bug Workarounds" is turned ON by default, I didn't touch it.
Please help! Or figure out what's causing the issue.
