[BLUS30852] Plants VS Zombies - Games Hang When Using RPCS3 "Reset Game" Feature From Home Menu

Open alexconsole04 opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Quick summary

When using the RPCS3 home menu option "Reset Game" while a game is running, the game will hang after compiling SPU cache.

Details

On the disc version of Plants VS Zombies (BLUS30852) the game acts as a launcher on boot up, allowing you select the 3 games on the disc. If you select one of the games (let's say Heavy Weapon for example) and then bring up the home menu and select "Reset Game" the game will restart Heavy Weapon and then afterwards, the game will hang on a black screen + frame display will also freeze. You are now stuck until you close and reopen the game. I'm uncertain if this was an issue introduced in RPCS3 or is this a bug with the game using this feature. This was tested on currently working build of RPCS3.

To reproduce, boot the game, select a game from the launcher, after it launches, press the home button on your controller and select reset game. The game will hang afterwards.

Attach a log file

Here are two instances of Heavy Weapon being ran.

Other details

This also happens on Peggle and Plants VS Zombies, however PVZ plays the intro videos before hanging.
