High on Life on AnyPS5

Verified

• CachyOS / Intel Core i9-14900K / RTX 4090 (NVIDIA 615.78.08) / GCC 16.2.1 / Release (discussion #9981, 23 Oct 2026): High on Life PPSA15388 content 01.120.000 on unmodified main 895f47f4e, with no pull requests on top. Linux in game — menus at 60 FPS, a save continues into Blim City, which can be walked through and fought in, at 7–13 FPS (2.5–3.2 facing Blorto's Chef Stand). Rendering looks right in the house, Blim City and the desert. Two screenshots are attached. 895f47f4e is unreleased main, newer than v0.1.3, and is the merge of #8866, which is not in v0.1.3. Single community self-report. In game ≠ Playable.
• Same Linux host and thread: The .esbak plain ELFs were relinked with --to-intel: eboot, sce_module/ (7 modules) and prx/ (27, mostly Wwise plugins). Those flags are relinker flags, not a game patch. The dump has no playgo-chunk.dat, so the run used APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS=installed. APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS is a host environment variable, not a game patch. No extra title patch file is named as required.

Blocked

• Current blocker in discussion #9981: mouse look lags 2–4 s at these frame rates (the sceMouse queue backs up; fix #9982, open). Facing Blorto's Chef Stand, one compute shader takes about 96% of GPU time (a 16-byte-record buffer copy, about 17 ms per dispatch, around 12 per frame; report #9980). Intermittent startup crash while the save loads: a jump to a small address (0x468) or a general protection fault, both from the same title call path, in 2 of 4 launches on 22 Oct, and not seen in launches with no input during loading. Cause unknown.
• The form furthest point is Playable. The body says Playable, slowly. Menus are 60 FPS; Blim City is 7–13 FPS, and 2.5–3.2 facing Blorto's Chef Stand. Those FPS values are a report, not a benchmark. In game on that cited main is not a Playable claim.

Unknown

• Official-table membership. This title is a community report (official: false), not a tested-compatibility table row.
• Whether the current official release zip matches this report. The cited play used unmodified main 895f47f4e, which is unreleased main newer than v0.1.3 and is the merge of #8866 (not in v0.1.3), not a release zip.
• Windows. No cited Windows session of this title in discussion #9981.
• macOS. No cited macOS session of this title in discussion #9981.
• Audio. Discussion #9981 names Wwise plugins among the converted modules and does not say audio was heard.
• Network or online play. No cited report checks it.
• AMD or Intel GPU in-game reports. The cited Linux host is RTX 4090 (NVIDIA 615.78.08) only.
• How far play went past the house, Blim City and the desert, or completion. Discussion #9981 names those visited areas only.
• The cause of the intermittent startup crash. Discussion #9981 says the cause is unknown and that it will be reported separately once it reproduces on demand.
