Do you have any empty file %APPDATA%\shadPS4\savedata\1\CUSA00207\SPRJ0005\sce_sys\param.sfo? Try deleting it.

I have the same issue, my computer configuration is as follows:

  • Processor: Intel i5-12600KF
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super
  • Memory: 32GB
  • Operating System: Windows 11 24H2

The game runs fine on v0.11.0 and earlier versions, but crashes immediately on startup in later versions.

When submitting a log make sure to use SYNC log type not async.

If you are having issues with the emulator not loading at all after 11.0 make sure you've updated to Shadps4QTLauncher, you cannot upgrade via the 11.0 shadps4.exe update utility.
The QTLauncher is now here.

Thanks for chiming in!

shad_log.txt Heres the SYNC log.
I have been using the QTLauncher, the problem does not seem to be related to it.
