Crashing and Freezing - Persona Q2

Issue:
When I’m trying to play this game - Persona Q2, it keeps crashing and freezing. It happened to me around 5 times already and I can’t even save the game yet. It usually happens on dialogues. One time the audio and graphic just freezed completly, the other times the audio and graphics kept working, but there was 0 reaction to my input. And one time there was reaction to my input, but the dialogue choices didn’t want to show up. It all happened to me in dialogoues, when I was moving in tutorial dungeon, when I was finishing fighting. I’ve got a log from the last one. Even when I’m fast forwarding through the game, it always freezes or crashes at a random time (even 2-3 minutes from starting the game).

The game is totally frozen this time. I got to the first save, but it is really frustrating to play the game 6 times to get to another save. Here’s the log and screenshot:

Let’s check for a regression first. Try this Citra build:

Download citra-windows-mingw-20230420-9414db4.7z from Release nightly-1884 · citra-emu/citra-nightly · GitHub
Extract it using winrar or 7zip, then launch citra-qt(.exe) found inside of the extracted folder.

Okay, so the game is frozen again after like 10 seconds from the first battle (after this audio was active for like 3 seconds and then it froze too) .

Try this one next: Download citra-windows-mingw-20221106-92ad651.7z from Release nightly-1805 · citra-emu/citra-nightly · GitHub
Extract it using winrar or 7zip, then launch citra-qt(.exe) found inside of the extracted folder.

So this time, the game was good for quite some time, but it again has stopped. This time the audio and the graphics were working as intended but I the fight wasn’t continuing. I was able to interact with the lower screen, but after choosing attacks nothing happened, and the enemies were just doing idle animation, while I was able to do something on lower screen.

Then I’m afraid you’ll need to wait for emulator improvements: Persona Q2 Softlocking at certain times. · Issue #6329 · citra-emu/citra · GitHub
