Goat Simulator 3 on AnyPS5
Windows is in game — Goat Simulator 3 (the PS5 title PPSA04158, content 01.000.000, not the original Goat Simulator), controllable gameplay after the intro cinematic at about 3 FPS with a near-monochrome image — on main 83462cc57d plus #9628 (Windows 11 Enterprise 10.0.22621 / Ryzen 9 5950X / Radeon RX 6700 XT), with the 3D exposure and tone mapping and Driver.Packet performance as the current open problems; Linux and macOS were not checked. Latest release v0.1.3 is 3fd1cc393b (20 Oct). Cited commit 83462cc57d (23 Oct, 00:27 UTC) is unreleased main, newer than v0.1.3 (3fd1cc393b, 20 Oct, 07:07 UTC). The cited furthest in-game used main 83462cc57d plus #9628. #9628 merged as 6ae09f90376 (23 Oct, 02:38 UTC) and is not in v0.1.3. Unreal Engine 4 title. ue4commandline.txt is ../../../Goat2/Goat2.uproject, and the content is one goat2-ps5.pak. The report does not name a relinker command; it names relinker and libraries from that build. Runs were launched through the shared queue with APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS=installed, because the dump has no playgo-chunk.dat or playgo-scenario.json, and scripted controller input (APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE with tools/pad_input.py: Cross every 10 s from 40 s). Those are host environment variables and a host input file, not a game patch. No extra title patch file is named as required. No cited run checked the official release zip. Whether the current official release zip matches this report is unknown, so an official zip may stop earlier. This title is not in the official table. Build source is main — the cited furthest in-game used main 83462cc57d plus one pull request, #9628, which is already merged and is not in v0.1.3, not a release zip. The form furthest point is In-game. What is shown: with Cross pressed every 10 s, the photosensitive-seizure warning (35 s); the main menu and World Saves (60 s); a new save and the in-game loading screen (150–240 s); the in-engine intro cinematic (360 s, "Coffee Stain North" credit with a "△ Skip" prompt); by 590 s the cinematic has ended in controllable gameplay, with the HUD showing the first quest ("Goat Castle — Enter your home"), the compass and the movement tutorial ("L Move character / R Turn"). Nothing stopped, crashed or reported an unimplemented call in 600 s. Menus (the warning, title and save menus) render correctly at about 8 FPS. 3D scenes have the geometry, camera and animation right, but the image is almost black and white: the sky renders either black (480 s) or blown out to white (590 s), there is barely any colour, and shadowed surfaces crush to solid black. This looks like a broken exposure or tone-mapping (post-process) pass, not missing geometry. Frame rate: about 8 FPS in menus, under 1 FPS during the world load and about 3 FPS in gameplay. tools/trace_digest.py puts the time in Driver.Packet on one worker at 99% busy, so the menus are CPU-bound in command-packet processing. The GPU is busy about 90 ms per present. Those FPS values are a report, not a benchmark. In game on that cited main is not a Playable claim. A single self-report is not an official-table row. Current blocker: no hard blocker. Two open problems: the 3D image's exposure and tone mapping (near-monochrome, crushed shadows, sky black or blown out), and performance (about 8 FPS in menus, with Driver.Packet the largest phase). A run that presses Triangle to skip the intro is queued, to reach gameplay sooner and test stick movement. Stick movement was not checked. Movies: all ten goat2/content/movies/*.mp4 are H.264 video with AAC audio. Imports: 2,679 unique imports, none absent, and 15 stubs (the libSceJobManager AGC workload calls). Audio by ear, a write path or a later reload of a newly written slot, and network were not checked.
