[Bug Report] Dragon Quest VIII - Journey of the Cursed King [PAL-S]- Game freeze
#1
My specs:
  • Processor: Ryzen 5 3600
  • 16 RAM
  • RTX 3070

Basically, with all options as default, and using the latest release, for some reason the game started working wrong after some playtime.

I have 10 hours of playtime, and most of them were working perfectly. But now, when in battle, the game suddenly "freezes" after the first turn.
Now, it isn't technically a common "freeze", as the characters and monsters models still move, and the music goes on perfectly, but somewhere at the end of the first turn, after the action of one of my characters ends, the game "freezes" at the text that details the action in-battle like "Angelo did 10 damage!" and it won't continue from there.

If you know about the game you will know what I'm referring to, otherwise it's hard to explain.
In the file I attached, you might think that I took the picture in that precise moment, but no, the games stays like that permanently. Resetting or shutting down is the only choice. Again the music works fine and the models move, so I don't think its a graphic problem. I tried different settings, like enabling and disabling MTVU, but nothing works, and I'm out of options.

Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I hope you can help me. If this doesn't get resolved, I will try to play in a Fedora OS to see if it's Window's fault.

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

Ok, here is the code (I had to activate the option to write to the log because I couldnt find the file). This is the log from the moment I open PCSX2 to the moment the game crashes, and I shut down the game, and finally close the emulator.
