The Amazing Spider-Man - GPU crash
Electry opened this issue · 14 comments
Running the game at 960x544 casues GPU crash in some areas.
I suspect it's due to VRAM limitations (again).
o my god.you are so incredible!!!!
VGi plugin reveals that three suspicious rendertargets 704x400, 352x200 and 176x100 are not changed with the internal buffer patch The two latter targets are probably used for rendering shadows and other lowres effects.
I have mostly tested resolutions lower than the default 704x400:
For horisontal res, anything goes, as long as it is a multiple of 32, possibly reflecting that the game runs in 16-bit mode, and that internal buffer is aligned to 64 bytes. I have tried all horisontal resolutions from 480 and up to 960, and all works and affects game performance.
However, once the select button is pressed (to enter the ability upgrade menu) => GPU crash.
can you fix that?
hey try this, set the resolution to: 960x544,1280x720, if that doesnt wrk try treating it like it has dynamic resolution and try 3 resolutions under native.
running 960x544,1280x720, mennus open and everything works fine, incl, city swinging
you meant typing the whole "960x544,1280x720" on IB? or just 960x544?
because tried 960x544 theres no diff and gpu crashes
type '960x544,1280x720' its the format for dynamic resolutions in vitagrafix, I thought i'd see if spiderman could do dynamic resolutions, it probably doesnt do anything dynamically but now I have it running with '960x544,1280x720' without the menus crashing.
dont get me wrong its not running at 1280x720, because that breaks the graphics, its running at native res but without the menus crashing. the res should show as 960x544 >> 1280x720
it doesnt need to be 1280x720, you could put 960x544,960x544,960x544,960x544 and it should stop the select menu crashing, as long as there's more than one resolution it should work
yup it works now! no crash so far. thanks @justalex95!
glad it works, I'm 100% sure its running at native res. I'm using 960x544,1920x1080 just now and it feels a little less jerky with the loading, it sounds wacky but around the city its definitely smoother
hmm.. the second resolution does absolutely nothing. I think it is ignored by the patch.
704x400 work as IB.
960x544 works for the first level, at least. Also in menu and swinging in manhattan (2nd level).
I never tried 960x544, because Electry wrote that it produces crashes in some areas.
I was interested in running this at lower resolutions like 640x368 or 576x324 to gain fps, but these crash in the menu.
Yeah, the second resolution does nothing but if you put 960x544 on its own, it crashes when you press select to open the menu, for some reason with more than one resolution it doesnt crash the select menu, making it playable on max resolution
put multiple lower resolutions as the IB and it should fix the menu crashing, but you dont need to go that low for 60 fps, 880x480 will give enough of a boost, or somewhere in that ballpark

You can either replace the old patch in patchlist.txt or create ux0:data/VitaGrafix/patch/PCSB00428.txt file and copy it there temporarily.
Wow, just wow, The EU version works like a charm and it might be my imagination but did you do something with the low resolution in the distance of each scene?
The game runs a ton smoother, looks great and I dont know if its because its running smoother but the graphics look slightly more textured, spiderman just looks sharp as hell and the boss that charges at you in the car park is completeable - It wouldnt let me hit him the third time to beat him, it kept bugging out before.
well done man, this is absolutely superb.
I did have a crash and game exit (not a complete system freeze) when I left my flat for the first time but I decided not to skip the scene the second time and it was great after that.
Thats as far as I've done so far but if this is the new version of vitagrafix I have to take my hat off @Electry
if you have a patreon I'll be happy to add to it, just brilliant.
its not really worth mentioning but the US version doesnt work, only the EU version works currently. The US version still has the menu bug
Should be fixed in Electry/VitaGrafixPatchlist@11f155b
let me know if you experience any issues
