Emulator

I just found out the game doesn't freeze with the DSPLLE plugin. Let's hope it'll get playably mature soon :)

if you have a save that is after the intro part you can play the game, but it will ALWAYS freeze in about 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay

And b4 you ask, yes it freezes on LLE too
i dont know why but this game became unplayable due to that reason, no matter what game will always freeze the bad way after a little time

It's playable from some time now, I defeated like 3 bosses, stopped but it worked fine, some fps issues though.

it freezes all the time after 5 mins on latest revision, x64 (didn't tried x32)

but i was checking on r4664 (dissablebp) and not only i was abble to start the game normaly without the initial freeze... (the one when travis get's on his bike for the first time)

but the game didn't crashed a single time (im guessing on latest revision the problem "like in many many games" is the fifo issue)

i tested it on r7481 x32 and yeap, you are right, on x32 the game is playable problem remains on x64 for some reason

keeping the report

i was playing for 2 hours straight on the x32 and then it freezed, then when i re opened it freezed in about 20 mins (this differs with the x64 wich it will freeze on 5/10 mins always)
so in x32 is sort of more stable, but it does happens (just more random)

oh and i forgot to mention that this ONLY happens on the streets...
once you are on a ranking mission (a boss stage) game will never freeze

more to add
it seems that this is somehow caused by HLE, i was testing it on LLE and it seems this does not happen on LLE (problem is LLE is unbereable) :S

but as i said, on r4664 this didn't happened, so must be some of the new changes on hle

It would be great if someone could find the exact revision that broke dsp hle here.
