[BUG]: Smoking to death in Deus Ex: The Conspiracy crashes PCSX2

[NattyNarwhal]

Describe the Bug

Smoking in Deus Ex: The Conspiracy damages the player; one can die from the damage that is self-inflicted from smoking. Just like real life. However, real life lung cancer is slow and debilitating. This just crashes PCSX2 immediately. This happens with both latest stable and nightly as of writing this.

Screen recording of this happening:

Screen.Recording.2024-12-23.at.12.03.21.AM.mov

Reproduction Steps

1. Be sufficiently low health. 50 or below, as cigarettes do 10 damage.
2. Smoke all the cigarettes that you got in your inventory, until you die.
3. Watch PCSX2 crash.

Expected Behavior

For the player to die in the game instead of the emulator crashing.

Can second that this bug also occurs on the latest development version (fresh install) on Windows 11.

[F0bes]

Thanks for the report, the game appears to be TLB missing.
Can you verify that your game dump hash matches one on redump? You can do this in the game properties menu in PCSX2.

[DigitalStarSys]

Can confirm, at least here, that it passes the check.

[NattyNarwhal]

Likewise, looks fine.

[Mrlinkwii]

are you using any patches

[NattyNarwhal]

Game properties says there aren't any patches available, so I assume not.

[sirocyl]

Can back this up, also crashing when attempting to smoke to death from the items menu. Does not occur when smoking to death outside of the menu.

PCSX2 fresh master build and 2.2.0 build, deps all built in-tree each time as per the CI script, Ubuntu 24.04.1 under WSL.

can i have a memcard around teh area it happens

[NattyNarwhal]

Seems to happen in any area, but this is the latest area I tested in. Load the latest save in Hong Kong. You should be able to damage yourself (get police to shoot you or use explosives) sufficiently from there.

the reason it crashes is TLB misses

I'm unable to reproduce this on the Flatpak v2.3.63 (I'm using all the cigarettes, either from the inventory or while I have them equipped), and I even picked up the extra cigarettes on the ground to try exhausting them again. The console log reveals no TLB misses either. Therefore I'm either doing something very wrong or this happens because of a bug post-2.3.63.

Edit: I accidentally forgor 💀 that I had to die while testing. Yeah, it crashes really badly for me; froze PCSX2 and my desktop with it. (Manjaro using the Flatpak)

The issue isn't in exhausting cigarettes - it is from dying to a cigarette while in the menu.

From a loaded memcard save, you would have to also take damage to bring yourself within 50hp (I used a gas grenade for this).

I'll provide a savestate file from my attempt, but no guarantee it'll work on all pcsx2 versions: SLUS-20111 (3AD6CF7E).01.p2s.zip

TLB Miss is result of issues that happen earlier. Game jump to 0x00 from 0x138EC8.

Let's try some word association. candy bar

[GitHubProUser67]

The game jumping at 0x00 is a red flag to me, can you test the game on the current SoftFloat pull request on this link? -> #12001

Remember to use the interpreters with any soft float options ticked.

Also apply them at game boot, it is very common to pre-calculate these.

No change.

Maybe we have run into an icache issue?

I tried with cache emulation enabled, and it didn't work for me.

[F0bes]

That's only dcache. I guess we'd have to see if it's trying to execute recently written to code.

[LoStraniero91]

This doesn't happen in the PAL version. Could it be a bug exclusive to the USA version?

Tested on v2.3.83
