The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel [BLUS31572]

Deleting the contents of the Data folder did little for me, and the game will still lock up after around 25 to 30 minutes of game play. Most of the time the audio will go into an infinite loop, and then when a new game scene is loaded (such as after accepting a side quest or completing an event), the game window will remain stuck at a black screen.

The audio also randomly crackles a lot early on in and throughout the game using Alsa (in Ubuntu 16.04), but adjusting the software volume level a few times will fix the crackling for a short time. (Probably something in RPCS3 that PulseAudio doesn't like.)

-OpenAL is unusable because the audio skips badly.

-Random character black faces are still present as of 25fcde9.

-The "Write Color Buffers" option in OpenGL is a massive fps hit. Avoid using this.

-The Vulkan renderer produces gray screens in most cases. The "Write Color Buffers" option helps to correct this, but the applied fps hit is too great.

-(RSX: FBO check failed: 0x8cd6) It's everywhere in the log file, and probably accounts for ten's of megabytes of the overall log file size.

Use GPU Texture Scaling

Audio:
Alsa
Downmix to Stereo

It's not impossible that the random freezes is a Linux only issue. I know people beat the game without problems on Windows. Will need some investigation. Can the bug be reproduced if you just leave the game running for half an hour on the main menu/options menu etc?

Currently playing this game, got 15 fps in field, 6-9 fps when cut scene and 8-10 fps in battle. The only thing that bothers me most is the BGM sound that keeps broken and repeating.. currently disabling it on game config but it kinda boring to play without BGM. I hope this bug is gonna fixed soon.

It should run at 30+ fps all the time on any real computer. Use LLVM + ASMJIT + OpenGL + GPU texture scaling. Do not tick any other options in the graphics settings tab.

Audio is fine. Probably breaks in the engine itself at such low frame rate, due to incorrect rpcs3 settings.
