Max Payne 3 "Freezing"

Open HARBINGER-ID opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Quick summary

I seem to have an issue where the game plays fine for a few minutes but after some time, it randomly "freezes" on me permanently, before i have to exit out of the emulator and start it again. I'm playing the game on the latest version of RPCS3 0.0.36 -17737 - 73f2aaf0

I would save yourself the time and effort and not even try to emulate this game on RPCS3. It barely even works. Also support goes into the discord server, not here.

RPCS3.log This is a great issue and a real oldie. Max Payne 3 will freeze in the start new game screen after the title screen in about 10 seconds after the user has pushed start once.

The game works perfectly fine the moment you disable audio output entirely. No audio = Game works great

@Darkhost1999 from where you disable audio output for it to not freeze? rpcs3 game-specific settings, literally disconnect physically attached audio devices or from in-game settings?

The RPCS3 setting configuration -> audio -> Audio out setting needs to be set to null to play several missions without issue. My PS3 and RPCS3 both crashed almost a year ago at the helicopter scene several missions in the game. But that's a different issue requiring this to be fixed to then observe and report later if still present.

I see the HLE tag is there a sprx file you recommend to LLE for testing?
