Sleeping Dogs [BLUS30927] Freezes randomly ingame

[Shoegzer]

Quick summary

This title freezes randomly ingame, typically between 3-10 minutes of gameplay, effectively rendering the title unplayable.

Details

Note that this title always freezes during the introduction (chase) scene, however the following settings will get past this point but it still freezes randomly beyond that:

• RSX FIFO Accuracy: Atomic
• Driver Wake-Up Delay: 2000 us (must set manually in game config file since UI only allows up to 800 us)

Many other settings were tried (too many to list here) but freezing still occurs.

Note that this the same exception thrown as discovered in #13602, in case it matters.

Other details

This was also reported in the closed issue #16307 but remains largely unresolved.

Update: Setting the SPU decoder to ASMJIT resolves this issue (at a big performance cost) so it appears to be related to the SPU LLVM decoder.

With this decoder setting, RSX FIFO Accuracy and Driver Wake-Up Delay settings were tested at default with no freezing encountered. Freezing eventually occurs with these settings at default.

is that still an issue?

I don't have this title anymore, so I can't say, but from what I recall of the severity of these crashes, I'm sure it still does. Can anyone else confirm?
