PCSX2 Version: Nightly v.1.7.4344
CPU Options: EE/IOP Defaults, VUs defaults
Plugins used: Software, Vulkan, Direct 3D11, Direct 3D12
Description: Character geometry is broken (depicted in the attached picture). This happens when you mess around with EE Cycle Rates, however, this is happening to me even at default settings (100%). Underclocking to 75% fixes it, but also makes the game slower. Strangely enough, starting a new game, or loading to a savestate I made some hours ago seems to fix it. Although I messed with EE Cycle Rates in this game before, I didn't mess with EE Cycle rates between this last savestate and now, so I'm not really sure what made the game behave like this. I have tried Soft and Full booting the game normally at normal velocity, and the problem still persists. This can theoretically be fixed by loading a previous save state, but I would lose a lot of progress and there is the chance of it happening again.

Go in to Game Properties->Game Fixes, and tick "Full VU0 Synchronisation"

though I'd also appreciate a savestate on that screen, if you could.

Sure, I'm not very knowledgeable about the process but it should just be the .p2s file right?
The file is too big and I can't post URL links so here is a .txt file containing a MEGA link, sorry if that's breaking any rules.

EDIT: Also, I'm new to using the Qt GUI so I'm not sure where exactly to find "Game Fixes", I have ticked the "Manual Hardware Rendered Fixes" option but still can't find it.

EDIT 2: Figured it out

After some testing, the problem still persists with "Full VU0 Synchronisation" hack active, I tested with default settings, on Software; 3D11; 3D12 and Vulkan. And also while loading the game state directly, Soft booting anf Full booting. Like before, running the game at 75% EE Cycle Rate fixes the problem. This problem has persisted even after restarting my computer.

I just made a PR which will fix it at the normal cycle rate, so once this gets merged in to the code (possibly tomorrow) it will be fine. https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/8614

Thank you so much for the help! Glad that my bug report was somewhat useful and wasn't me just messing some settings up that I shouldn't have touched .

We had other reports of it but could never reproduce it, but your savestate was perfect, thanks

Thank you for your report.
