Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on AnyPS5

Verified

• Linux 7.2.9 (CachyOS) / Intel Core i9-14900K / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 driver 615.78.08 / GCC 16.2.1 / Release (discussion #9704, 22 Oct 2026): Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy PPSA01748 content 01.006.000. Furthest point named In-game: the playable prologue, then the load into the next chapter. Opening menus rendered (language, brightness, adjustments, photosensitivity warning, autosave notice, title screen, main menu). New Game loaded the prologue; objects could be picked up and inspected, and button prompts showed. It finished the prologue and started loading the next chapter (the Milano). That load was not finished in the first session. First visits about 0.3–1 FPS on a cold cache while shaders and pipelines built, including one 1.7M-word compute shader; long waits while level data streamed in. Menus about 13–30 FPS once compiled. Single community self-report. Patched stack, not a release zip. In game ≠ Playable.
• Same NVIDIA host and thread: relinked with relinker --to-intel --registry eboot.elf app.elf. Modules in sce_module converted with the title. Route: Languages → NEXT, brightness → confirm, Adjustments → START GAME, title screen → New Game.
• Cited AnyPS5 commits in that report: main d6eafa54d with fix(agc): require full coverage only for metadata pass targets with CMASK or DCC keys #9694 (793e51a91; still open). #9694 is named as the fix for the first-level stop CB metadata pass over part of a color target. The report also names one already-fixed historical compute-shader stop (#7362, fixed by merged #8991) plus the first-level stop addressed by open #9694, and does not claim those as extra current requirements for the cited furthest point.
• AMD/RADV only. Same thread, second host: Radeon Pro V620 / RADV Mesa 25.2.8 / Ubuntu 24.04 / kernel 7.0. On RADV's default ACO compiler the title crashed about 10 minutes after START GAME (SIGSEGV in libvulkan_radeon.so, aco::live_var_analysis) while compiling a 731k-word fragment shader. It reproduced in a standalone pipeline-creation program; the SPIR-V passed spirv-val. With RADV_DEBUG=llvm the same pipeline compiled slowly and the title reached the warning screen. The report says this is not an AnyPS5 defect. This AMD path is not the cited furthest in-game point.
• The reporter marked AI-assisted testing and report: yes, Claude Code. The furthest-point observation (playable prologue, then the unfinished load into the Milano chapter) is the reporter's. Any images in that thread are the reporter's, not captures from this site.

Blocked

• Current blocker named on NVIDIA with #9694: none known, up to the start of the second chapter's load (not finished in the first session) (discussion #9704).
• AMD/RADV only. On AMD (RADV/ACO, Mesa 25.2.8): ACO crash about 10 minutes after START GAME, worked around with RADV_DEBUG=llvm. The report does not claim that workaround as the cited furthest in-game path.

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 patched in-game report. The cited play used d6eafa54d+#9694, not a release zip. An official zip may stop earlier.
• Windows. No cited Windows session of this title in discussion #9704.
• Audio. Discussion #9704 does not say whether audio was checked.
• Saving. Discussion #9704 does not test creating a save and loading it back.
• Network or online play. No cited report tests it.
• Output resolution. Discussion #9704 does not name a resolution.
• Whether the Milano chapter actually finishes loading or becomes playable. The first session started that load and did not finish it.
• Whether #9694 is required for this title's picture beyond being part of the cited play stack.
• Whether #7362 or #8991 are extra current requirements for the cited furthest point. The report names them as already-fixed historical stops (#8991 merged); it does not add them as extra requirements for the NVIDIA in-game run.
• Intel GPU in-game reports. The cited Linux hosts are RTX 4090 and Radeon Pro V620 only.
• Play past the unfinished second-chapter load, or completion.
