Resolved: [Bug Report] Legacy of Kain : Soul Reaver 2 [PAL]
#21
Tried again with PCSX2 1.5.0-20181023165247 - compiled on Oct 23 2018
in order to make the blockdumps and savestate.

This time I actually recreated the softlock. Randomly. Seems to be reproducable with the savestate.

savestate: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AKIrxX...Qimuk9qE4o

I made 3 blockdumps, one before starting the sequence, one within the cutscene and one after (softlock state)
files are in that order, timestamp
gsdx snaps: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gfL1VI...nAzuzMLLXq
.dump files, not sure if needed: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19Oo3wW...3ZnNYGyC-x

Yea lemme binary search through the versions and narrow down on it.

v1.5.0-dev-2175-g420f11161 : BUG
v1.5.0-dev-1940-g9865270: BUG
v1.5.0-dev-1646-g483b3d6: BUG (tried without savestate)
1.4.0-20160105132032- compiled on Jan 5 2016: BUG (tried without savestate)

Thats right, I reproduced it on 1.4.0 after all. I assume its just a very random bug.

(For all of mt previous tests I never used frameskip to run through the very first cutscenes you cannot skip, this time I used it. Not sure that makes a difference.)

So maybe it never worked correctly after all and this was always broken.

Hi Guys,

I'm a bit dispointed: I've got the original but my PS2 is dead. Of course I also have the freeze problem.
I saw this video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCXixJg0zQ8

The youtuber preconize the following point:
Disable the "MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1)" + the speedhack and please DONT use the 'Turbo Mode'

So I did what he says. I put the Turbo % at 10 and disable the MTVU.
I was able to play about 1hours. The game froze after I met the old tree.

I hope it will help and you will able to fix this thing. I really enjoy if I can play the game.

I have more or less fixed this game. It can be played now but currently I am trying to find a proper solution. Can you post a memory card save right before the savestate that you have posted ?
#25
I double checked. There is no save point before this particular scene, the mechanic is not yet present.

Any memory card savepoint which is followed by the bug will do.

I had the bug this week end (trying the games as i'm unable to make it work on Windows 10), where it crash at the first spectral to normal world change. 

The cutscene was without sound, Raziel was stuck and can't move, i can go to the menu and leave the game to the main menu, and there I ws having a sound in loop.

I tried today with the new build : v1.5.0-dev-3302-gafde59bb1

And it seems to work now.

PS: my test were done on the PAL version of the game.

PS2 : It works 4 times on 5 test...4th test i had the same bug, reload the savestate before the bug happen...and it pass..

PS3 : And I have the sound bug at the second point where you go from spectral to normal world, reloaded save state multiple time, but it doesn't want to work. the games is still playable after this point, but following cutscene will have the sound bug.

I had the same problem but managed to finish the game. The problem is caused when shifting into the spectral realm, but very randomly (not always, but very often). It breaks the sound, which you can notice when you come back to the material realm and the music doesn't work, which means that the game will break on the next cut scene. I did two things to beat the game:

1) save a quick state just before shifting into the spectral realm and don't save again until made sure the music works in the material realm. In addition, I tended to turn of all the sound in the game and not rush to move immediately after shifting. This didn't always work, but I loaded the quick state again, until it worked. Yes, lame, but I managed to finish the game. Also, this way I realised that the game doesn't require much done in the spectral realm, so just do it when it's necessary (try not to be sent there by the baddies in the material realm).

- Beware of the scenes at the Pillars. In a conversation with Ariel, Raziel chases her to the spectral real, activating the bug in the middle of the scene. Just make sure you save before that and reload as many times as necessary until the conversation continues after the shift.

2) If you happen to save after activating the glitch, try to find a place where to save your game, then restart the game and load from your memory card. I happened to activate the glitch inside the Air Forge, but could go out, save and come back to the forge with all the puzzles already done. When you restart from your memory card, the game works fine until the next time the

Hi,

1.6.0 still has this bug. Tried to disable the MTVU and disable the speed hacks at all, no success. The first temple, where you obtain the first upgrade for the Reaver, is playable and I cannot say that there are any bugs there, but the cutscene after you finish it freezes.

Still, thank you for all you efforts to make this game work on PCSX2.
