Please bisect to an exact build. Also, try single core mode.

Updated by maxcb97 almost 8 years ago

The bug is introduced in version 4.0-9242. Version 4.0-9240 works fine.

Single core mode works in 4.0-9240 up to 5.0-138 but not in the latest version; 5.0-276.

I'll reply again once I have found the exact version for single core breaking.

Single core broke in version 5.0-222. It worked in version 5.0-215.

Can you try the interpreter. This looks like a JIT regression from degasus' JIT change.

Interpreter does not work for this game. Tried on 5.0-274, 5.0-222, 5.0-215 and 4.0-6680.
Waited 10 minutes on a black screen. For comparison, Shrek 2 takes 13 seconds to start.

JITIL freezes on the loading screen that appears when you first start the game. The yellow text that shows which backend you are using doesn't fade away, and the FPS: thing in the window title shows 0. This also began in 5.0-222.
