Bloodborne on shadPS4 randomly freezes, but resumes after waiting
Issue:
Bloodborne freezes randomly during gameplay. The entire PC becomes unresponsive, including the mouse and keyboard, and the game audio may continue for a few seconds before stopping. However, if I wait long enough, the game eventually resumes and continues running normally instead of crashing.
I have already completed the game in the past on the same hardware and with similar settings without this issue.
Things I have already tried:
- Multiple shadPS4 versions, including different forks
- Deleting shader caches
- Playing without mods or patches
- Creating a new save file
- Verifying that the GPU driver is not the cause
- Using default emulator settings
The problem still occurs regardless of the emulator version or save file.
Has anyone experienced the same behavior, where the game appears to hard-freeze but recovers after waiting?
