Frame Interpolation - Crash

[srjghseruikg]

As of v0.0.6, Frame interpolation enabled and set to any setting seems to cause a crash at the opening, Can't skip the opening either as that causes a crash as well.

Attached are my current crash logs with the Presentation Target set to Display. Will run more refresh rates and attach those logs as well if they help.

90FPS target does not seem to cause any crashes, though visual glitches can be seen on the intro and opening cutscene.

Hello! Apologies for taking some time to circle around to this. Wanted to follow up here and acknowledge that I've seen your issue and hope to take some time to investigate further. Thank you for your patience. I'll follow up soon!

Following up. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue when working against the latest psxrecomp. Considerable engine work has been put into it, so it's possible the issue was fixed by engine improvements.

Can you try this new release and let me know if the issue can be reproduced? Thanks!

Here's a crashlog with v0.2.0

new logs with the test build, setting at display refresh. I should note my display refresh is 120hz.

Thanks for the follow up. I've pushed a defensive fixed based on the logs, and tried to add a bit more logging. Try to give this a try. https://github.com/mstan/ApeEscapeRecomp/releases/tag/v0.2.1-issue3-diagnostics.1 and let me know if the issue persists and any new logs.

Sorry for the back and forth. I'm not able to reproduce myself so debugging is a bit difficult.

Just to confirm, behavior is fine at stock, right? I'm debating on whether the interpolation feature needs to be scrapped and redone.

No worries, i'm as determined to see this through as you are lol.
After posting the logs i just sent, i set it to 60fps and there's no crash, anything over 60fps is a guaranteed crash. To be honest, 60fps barely really looks like 60fps too, very smeary like you can see each frame being duplicated in real time so maybe it does need to be redone, that's your call though.

The temporal flame blending featured in v0.2.1 release works just fine, no crash of any kind. Will be playing the game and update this thread if there's any bugs but so far it plays just fine, steam's FPS overlay reports 120fps as well.

Okay, awesome! And thanks for staying on top of it! I cut the release and stepped away for some food. 😄
I decided the old implementation was junk so decided to redo it. Glad that this one is working better thus far. Will keep an eye out!
