RSX: NV406E semaphore unexpected address crash with "report to developers" note.

[Smopraq]

1. God of War Ascension [BCES01741] (update 01.12) RSX crash with a note in the error message requesting to report it to the developers.

2. Game crashes at a random moment and produces the following in the log:

·U 0:46:20.303700 {PPU[0x1000018] Thread (voice thread) [HLE:0x00a75afc, LR:0x006685e4]} cellVoice TODO: cellVoiceGetPortInfo(portId=259, pInfo=*0xd009be00)

·! 0:51:29.566585 SYS: Stopping emulator...

Full log is attached.

3. The game just hangs, there was nothing noteworthy showing in the performance overlay.

4. Real PS3 would never (re)produce this error message.

5. system configuration:

• Win 10 PRO 19043.1237
• Intel i5-8600
• Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070ti
• Driver version 471.96
• 32G RAM
• RPCS3 build 0.0.18-12899
• Using PS4 controller natively (not running DS4)

The game does crash with other issues more consistently but this one had an explicit request to report it.

I'm having the same issue with 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'. The game hangs with ·E 0:03:23.874842 {RSX [0x008805c]} RSX: nv406e::semaphore_acquire has timed out. semaphore_address=0x403004E0 less than 5 minutes after launching it. Seems to be the same issue as #6945 #10516 #8499 and many others.
I have tried many builds even down to 0.0.5-7644 and the bug occurred there as well.

1. Original report is clearly a desync event. Increase the wakeup delay setting to to fix it.
2. The timeout issue can be fixed by disabling the timeout check. However, the timeout trigger means the RSX component believes the emulator has hung, so it may not solve anything. The timeout option can be found in config.yml. Change the value from 1 million to 0 to disable the hang check.

If I change it to 0 the game hangs without any error and if I change it to 1 I get the error messages all over the log.

having this issue with dead space ignition. US

@Hinotoumei Attach log file. Also since you say that Dead Space Ignition isn't playable on forums as it crashes on L3.. If this crash is consistent and not random. Attach a save file of where it happens, and explain how to reproduce so we can test it.

I noticed that all users that encountered this issue in open and closed bug reports have an Nvidia gpu. Is this an Nvidia issue or is it just a coincidence ?

This problem is not only attached to Nvidia gpus, I have an RX 5700 and this problem occurs me on Red Dead Redemption.
