Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.

Describe the Bug

I managed to successfully run Bloodborne (CUSA03173/GOTY edition) v1.0 but after I applied the v1.09 patch, it keeps crashing on startup. shadps4 crashes entirely, not just the game.

I am using the 0.7.0 release of shadps4.

The logs show many errors: shad_log.txt

Reproduction Steps

Issue seems to appear only on v1.09 of Bloodborne

Expected Behavior

No response

Specify OS Version

Windows 11

This is a bad update dump. Please dump the game update from your PS4, then see if this still occurs.

Alright, with the new game dump, everything seems to work well. I am closing this then. While it would be an improvement to user experience if an error would be shown to let the user know that something is probably wrong with the game files instead of shadps4 crashing, I assume you are already aware of that and are tracking that elsewhere.
