Description
Quick summary
While playing Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, the game will randomly freeze without any sign of recovering whatsoever, forcing the user to shut down the emulator entirely or stop the emulation (which often causes the entire emulator to crash anyway).
Details
As mentioned in the quick summary, the game freezes randomly and refuses to recover. The in game soundtrack will keep playing, but the visual part of the game (and the controls as well) becomes completely non-responsive. The one constant that seems to be there in this kind of issue is the fact that the log consistently shows an error such as "{RSX [0x211cd08]} SIG: Thread terminated due to fatal error: Assertion Failed! Vulkan API call failed with unrecoverable error: Device lost (Driver crashed with unspecified error or stopped responding and recovered) (VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST)" as the last piece of information before the freeze.
