I can get ingame without issue on latest, closing.

Career mode requires framelimit auto and Safe block size or it will crash btw.

[Satan86]

I don't think this issue should be closed, just renamed instead, because while it can go past the loading, it still crashes with the same error later on in gameplay

Has SPU ASMJIT been tried?

[hoholee12]

ASMJIT does nothing to fix the error.
accurate xfloat does not help either.

Setting "PPU Thread Count" to 1 in debug tab fixes the random crashing in races.

Was able to finish a few races with this setting.

Using PPU Thread Count 1 didn't solve the issue for me.

[cas-1092]

After further testing, I have found out that crashing happens only during certain events even with PPU Thread count set to 1.

Heres a way to reproduce it.

Download my save file, BLUS30066-SAVEDATA.zip and open career mode.
Selecting this race, the grip class event, or any of the time attacks should crash your game.

However, the drag event works just fine.

After doing some research, I found out that enabling PPU interpreter (static) fixes the crash, even when loading and during races, but reduces the performance.

Needs information if this works on other users or not.
RPCS3.log.gz

[cas-1092]

Works for me, using the savefile I mentioned earlier.

[Ordinary205]

I have figured out a better solution on how to fix this "Unknown STOP Crashes" without using PPU interpreter, is by enabling Atomic+Accurate SPU DMA+Accurate Cache Line Stores.




RPCS3.log.gz
Enabling these options may have a performance impact, but its much faster than PPU interpreter.

[cas-1092]

With these settings I was unable to enter the career, as it would either give me an spu access violation,

or it would just freeze on the loading screen.

updating title to reflect current situation, as it looks like it isn't just limited to just track crashes/save loads
