Quick summary

Ridge Racer Unbounded hangs on the title screen with a "RSX: nv406e::semaphore_acquire has timed out." error.

After pressing start, the game freezes with "E {RSX [0x08a0928]} RSX: nv406e::semaphore_acquire has timed out. semaphore_address=0x60300630"
It also freezes the entire emulator forcing me to task kill it.

I have worked out where the issue is here after being unable to reproduce it on my first run:

E RSX: nv406e::semaphore_acquire has timed out. semaphore_address=0x60300630 Does get spammed in log but game still runs fine. This RSX error is not the issue. In fact its not a RSX issue at all.

The point where it fails is straight after this appears in log: E SYS: 'sceNpTrophyGetTrophyInfo' failed with 0x80022902 : SCE_NP_TROPHY_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED [1].

EDIT: I can confirm clearing savedata/trophies doesn't fix the problem it seems like its just random, launch the game a few times after closing and re-opening RPCS3 and you'll get through.

Update: I just got into a loop where the game would get stuck on title screen every time, cleaning trophies and save data didn't help. I ran the game bout 40 times and would crash every time. Then i cleaned caches and it worked again.

Unrelated, but you must use Zcull Precise in this game or else the game is super dark and has flickering lights. I added to wiki. Its the reason why my first screenshot was so dark.

Retest with latest master.

[cas-1092]

Still an issue on the latest master.

Clearing all caches, trophies, and save data did not work either.
Reopening the emulator & game multiple times doesn't work aswell.

It does go ingame, just gotta keep trying. I would also try deleting hdd1 cache.

[cas-1092]

Got ingame.

Clearing all caches, closing the emulator, then reopening it seemed to work.

I don't know if this helps. But I just went into the dev_hdd0\home\00000001\trophy directory and created the following folder NPWR02203_00. That allowed me to get past the start screen. Performance ain't all that great and the graphics are glitchy ( top left of screen has garbage).

Strike that.. another run later after exiting and re-starting the game it is stuck. :(
