Motorstorm: Arctic Edge freeze on loading screen

[Godavatar]

So, emulator version 966 was the last where game worked us usual. From 968 game freeze on loading screen (after intro, just before main menu shows). I also check 971 with same result.

Also, a game has one minor issue with "ice shader" (i doubt its called like that, but dont have better words). On few tracks (like Vertigo, ice colums just in the beggining of the race) ice in game shows with visual "square" artifacts, but only on Vulcan rendering, its fine on OpenGL.

@unknownbrackets This seems to be another fallout of the replay stuff. thinking about reverting and re-merging after 1.6....

dunno about ice columns though, do you have screenshots?

[unknownbrackets]

Well, I'd said WIP so that's okay, but might be good to know what happened. Maybe this hit the if (w32err == ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION) { case? Maybe this needs to be (} else if (!success) {):

Yeah, of course it would be even better to spot the cause. Things do seem mostly solid... and that sounds plausible.

I take few screenshots with Vulcan and OpenGL renders (Vulcan first), hope it helps with "ice" problem (but its a minor issue anyway):

[unknownbrackets]

Maybe depth or mipmapping?

[hrydgard]

Or texturing from the framebuffer in some obscure way that we're missing... given that it's ice, it doesn't seem unlikely

Does the error on start still happen in the latest git build?

-[Unknown]

[Godavatar]

Tried 980 build, but game still stuck at loading screen.

[unknownbrackets]

Does it happen with certain savedata - if so, can you upload?

-[Unknown]

[Godavatar]

I doubt it connected with saves, because game freeze before menu where i can select and load a save, and there were no problems before.

[unknownbrackets]

The change that broke it is related to file access - it's probably when it goes to check if there ARE saves. It doesn't happen for me, though, even after I create a save - so I'm wondering if it only happens for certain save data. Any chance you could upload (as a zip)? You can just drag it into the comment box.

Sure, if it helps

Hmm, I can't reproduce - I've tried default settings and 32-bit as well, and checked the buildbot builds in case there's some compilation bug.

I don't have the DLC, so there is a file open error on start, but it doesn't hang - it just logs a (correct) error and continues on.

I have this issue on ver 1.7, my hardware is Snapdragon 650 (Adreno 510)
It freezes on any loading screen on both OpenGL ES and Vulkan
European version of the game (UCES01250)

Does it work for you in older versions like v1.6.3 or v1.5.4? What is the crc of your iso?

It worked in 1.5.4, but since 1.6.3 it freezes
CRC32 of iso - 0x1D422CEE

[unknownbrackets]

Hm, that doesn't seem to match a good crc.

Got American ISO (UCUS98743), freezes at loading anyway

[sisxgame]

Freeze loading screen in 1.6 and up
Only working with 1.5.4 and older versions

[Nine-H]

got the loading screen freeze on ubuntu xenial on the 1.7.0 release using the opengl renderer, dynarec, and deleting the save.

[unknownbrackets]

Is there any improvement in the latest git build?

[sisxgame]

No improvments on my phone ( leeco le pro 3 elite snapdragon 820 cpu ) whit latest git.
