@shinra-electric Is it also broken if you completely wipe all rpcs3 caches?

[shinra-electric]

Yes, I tried deleting the game cache and the firmware cache. No luck.

It freezes with this message in the TTY:

F {RSX [0x0001630]} SIG: Thread terminated due to fatal error: Verification failed (object: 0x0)
(in file /Users/runner/work/1/s/Utilities/mutex.cpp:89[:2], in function 'void shared_mutex::imp_lock(u32)') (errno=316=Unknown error: 316)

Also, if I close the window at this time the app will crash. Here is the system crash report if it helps:

This looks more like heap corruption. Is this a self-compiled build? If so, try a clean build in case of linker errors: ninja clean && ninja

No, these are from official releases.
