Innocent Life (ULES-00658) crashing when using elevator

[justafella]

What happens?

Game crashes when I try to use elevator to go down. Vulkan related error message pops up.

What should happen?

No crashes.

What hardware, operating system, and PPSSPP version? On desktop and mobile phone, GPU matters for graphical issues.

• Windows 10 64 bit;
• Acer Aspire ES15;
• Intel Celeron QuadCore N3450;
• Intel HD Graphics 500 (driver ver. 27.20.100.9168);
• 4 GB RAM;
• ppsspp-v1.11.2-312-g38e384d83-windows-amd64

Please test newest version in https://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/

Tested. Same problem. Here is a save file for testing:
ULES00658DATA00.zip

It would be nice if you can provide the log file, in case the devs doesn't have the game.
You can run the DebugLog.bat file to generate ppsspplog.txt log file.

Alright. This is the log I got: ppsspplog.txt

Yeah unfortunately with this type of crash, the log files don't tend to tell us much...

[anr2me]

Using the savedata provided on first post, i've tried to go down and also to go to the entrance on Debug build, but can't trigger this vulkan issue

May be because i'm using geforce?

[anr2me]

Okay, i can triggers it on Intel GPU, here is the call stacks


PS: theframe arg value = 2

29:20:259 idle0        E[SYSTEM]: Common\Log.cpp:49 (C:\Users\AdamN\Documents\Projects\ppsspp\Common\GPU\Vulkan\VulkanRenderManager.cpp:VulkanRenderManager::Submit:1258) Critical: [false] Lost the Vulkan device in vkQueueSubmit! If this happens again, switch Graphics Backend away from Vulkan

The error message probably came from here (stopped here if i answered "No" on the popup dialog)

[hrydgard]

If you go to the Output tab in the bottom right, is there anything showing up there when you trigger the first one? Should be since you had the validation layer running, and it might have caught something.

Ah, well, unfortunately that didn't help much :(

[anr2me]

i updated the output to add the 2nd message when i tried to continue again, might be related to VkSemaphore ?

Is the Exception thrown at 0x00007FFD9BBBD759 in PPSSPPDebug64.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: VK::Exception at memory location 0x0000003D71DFF404. logged before or after the breakpoint?

Not sure but it seems like that would be coming from the graphics driver.

The validation error says that there's no way to signal the semaphore. That means it thinks renderingCompleteSemaphore_ cannot be signaled. In turn, that either means VulkanRenderManager::Submit() never submitted it, or something failed. It calls Submit() right before with triggerFrameFence set to true, so it should always get signaled (eventually.)

So to me, that means it's all a side effect of vkQueueSubmit() failing. The submit failed, so it will never signal the semaphore. Maybe we could fix that, but not in a way that would render anything anyway. The problem is that submit failed.

I recommend uncommenting the //queueRunner_.LogSteps(stepsOnThread, false); line, and changing #if 0 // def _DEBUG to #if 1, both in VulkanRenderManager.cpp. That will give plenty of logging about this, and hopefully the most recent steps logged will be the cause of the crash.

This occurred at the time the popup dialog appeared

Yes, vkQueueSubmit failed with error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST and ended showing that popup dialog here:

res = vkQueueSubmit(vulkan_->GetGraphicsQueue(), 1, &submit_info, triggerFrameFence ? frameData.fence : frameData.readbackFence);
	if (res == VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST) {
		_assert_msg_(false, "Lost the Vulkan device in vkQueueSubmit! If this happens again, switch Graphics Backend away from Vulkan");
	}

According to this it can returnVK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST if "There were indices that were larger than the vertex vector." https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63092926/what-is-causing-vk-error-device-lost-when-calling-vkqueuesubmit
And could also happened if there is not enough vram, but my Intel (Shared) GPU Memory usage is at 0.8/5.9 GB at the time this popup dialog occurred, so can't be vram issue.

I recommend uncommenting the //queueRunner_.LogSteps(stepsOnThread, false); line, and changing #if 0 // def _DEBUG to #if 1, both in VulkanRenderManager.cpp. That will give plenty of logging about this, and hopefully the most recent steps logged will be the cause of the crash.

With those changes, this appeared when that popup appeared:

For me, the hang is just in the middle of a scene, it doesn't seem like anything special happened.

I tried removing the merging/cleanup just in case, but it didn't change much. The updated second render:

So I tried splitting up and flushing each render pass individually, and it's the first of the two here that causes the hang. But somehow, this allowed me to kill the process properly again, so that's nice.

Tried adding quick descriptions to each pipeline (raster state, vs, fs, hwx, dec fmt), and each of them are typical of other draws. But it always hangs at the same place, doesn't seem to matter if I take longer to get there. Maybe it's a frame soon before that causes problems or a texture... hm.

I'm back to say that I've discoreved another crash like this one. This time I was just passing through the kitchen in the main character's room. I got this message:

And I got a 30MB (???) log I wouldn't be able to share uncompressed:
ppsspplog.zip

I've also noticed that although I might play the game well using the other backends, they also present a little lag before some sound effects (e.g. cutting weed) or when you are just wandering around. It's hard to tell what exaclly triggers these lags. They also occur randomly and rarely, and when they do they just don't crash, fortunatelly (???).
