Need for Speed Most Wanted 2 prototype - black screen on NVidia under certain conditions

[CookiePLMonster]

Quick summary

At least one prototype of NFS Most Wanted 2 (namely the one from December 2011, codename jmcclean) has an issue where screen is black under certain in-game hours. Unfortunately, it just happens to be the hour prototype starts at, so users are required to bring up a debug menu and change it if they want to play. It seems to only happen at 16:00 and 17:00 in-game time, but that's not really relevant.

Normally I would not bother reporting issues from unreleased games, but this particular one seems to happen only in RPCS3 (even though it looks like a game bug) and reportedly only on NVidia cards!

Details

Attaching an RSX and RDC capture, as well as a log file. RDC capture is ridiculously big, so the entire archive is nearly 750mb.

We've figured out how to run those builds on HEN consoles so I was able to confirm that does not happen on real hardware.

Still an issue?

PS3 LAUNCHER used to boot this game seems to have stopped working. Will re-test once this works again.

Still an issue. No different changing GPU's settings.

Retest with #13070

Retest with #13070

No luck. Still requires changing the in-game time.

Still an issue for NVIDIA drivers on the latest build.
(17:00 time change)

Just want to retest this game to know that this issue still exists after 1 year.
