[Bug] Metroid Prime 4 crashing on stable and latest canary (9th Dec)

[eyeonus]

Description of the issue

Game crashes whenever a shader is being compiled. However, it seems the compilation is successful before the crash, as the next run gets slightly further in the game -- until the next shader compilation.

Reproduction steps

Run the game.

Log file

I'm including the logs of the latest two runs in case the information (and the differences between the two) might be useful.

Additional context?

I don't know how to include it unless it's in the logs, but I installed the HoSv21 firmware into Ryubing and installed the keys from my updated-to-v21 physical original model Switch using the most recent version of Lockpick RCM.

So far, after 20 or so crashes, I've managed to get to the save selection screen.

known issue, but nothing can be done about it at the moment.

[eyeonus]

No worries.

I just want to say I'm surprised it even runs the game. If that's not proof your emulation is solid idk what is.

I've actually managed to get in game -- compiling the shaders doesn't seem to crash the program until the compilation has finished so every run gets further than the last. I've almost gotten to the initial save point.

Is the compilation crash specific to MP4 or is it because of the HOS version or something?

[LotP1]

current theory is that it's a GPU related race condition specific to MP4.

[eyeonus]

Ew race conditions are unholy ^_^

You guys are doing great keep it up!

@juraisa If you have nothing to add to the issue, please keep your comments to yourself. Nobody cares.

I have an even worst situation. I run the game (updated to 1.1.0) and appear de MP4 logo of loading (all the screen is black except the icon roating) and ryujinx close abrubtaly.

Yeah that happened to me too. Every time you reun the game you'll get a bit further than the previous time before it crashes.
