[FFSaharti]

Quick summary

RPCS3 Version: 0.0.34-17449 Game: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (BLES00246) OS: Windows 11 CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700K GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

When attempting to save the game state using the save state feature, the emulator throws the following error message at the top left:

SaveState failed: Failed to lock SPU state, using SPU ASMJIT will fix it.

Sometimes the game continues to run normally, but the save state fails, preventing progress from being saved via this feature. And sometimes the game freezes.

Steps to Reproduce: Load Metal Gear Solid 4 in RPCS3. Attempt to create a save state. Observe the error message in the top-left corner.

Does using SPU ASMJIT decoder fixes it though?

[FFSaharti]

I tried using SPU ASMJIT but in my case (MGS4) it just freezes the game as soon as I launch it.

[elad335]

No, I mean saving with SPU ASMJIT, loading the savestate with it won't matter.

[FFSaharti]

I can't run the game (MGS4) with that setting. It freezes instantly unfortunately

apparently regressed by #16678.

@FFSaharti is that still an issue?
