Krakatos said about posting on buggy / crashing games, so I`m just reporting these games just so that the issue is known about, and hopefully fixed someday.
# Playground version: playground ppr417
# Cpu eerec on, vurec0 and vurec1 on, MTGS on
# Plugins used: Gsdx 0.1.12, ZeroSPU2 0.46
# Description: Other than some minor sps issues in the opening intro, the game runs flawlessly at first. You start a new game, enter the name for your character, check the news on the net then your emails (in the game), then when you attempt to login to "The World" (the mmo within the game itself) the emulator crashes. The sps and crashes have occured on every single last version of pcsx2 and playground.
Also when I said "games" I mean the entire .hack series (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak and Quarantine). Occurs in all 4 games at the exact same spot. Not to be confused with the "Dot Hack GU" games which followed on from the 4 mentioned. Also note that it is the PAL versions of these games that have tested only, except in the case of Outbreak where only the NTSC version (due to annoying ebay) has been tested but still the same crash occurs in the exact same place.
With this post I have included a screenshot of the minor sps issues that occur in the intro + one when the crash occurs. If any further information is required to help resolve the issues with this game feel free to ask.
[edit]
For testings sake whilst typing up this post I tested ZeroGS Kosmos 0.97.1 and switched the sound plugin to SPU2ghz and tried with and without hacks on, and this made no difference at all. Still crashes in the same places. The sound is more accurate in SPU2ghz though.
