Can you clarify what you mean with crash? Does the console crash or just the video stream?
Also, are you using dvr-patches?

Apologies exelix11 this will be my first github bug report. The console will hang untill the pc application is exited or the usb is unplugged. I have the latest dvr-patches installed also.Thanks Phil On 19 May 2025 12:51, exelix ***@***.***> wrote:exelix11 left a comment (exelix11/SysDVR#350) Can you clarify what you mean with crash?

This is interesting, i don't think i've ever seen this behavior. Can you try without dvr-patches ? Maybe the game is just not compatible.
Also in the sysdvr client settings enable advanced logging, it will print extra details on the terminal. Hopefully it will show something interesting when it freezes, post the output here.

I havent been able to replicate the earlier freeze for some reason but the game will still slow down to a crawl when hacking, nothing different appears in the log but while playing I seem to consistantly get this error in the background.

Video capture failed with code 0xcd4 requested size was 0x0

unsure if this is related or normal behaviour?

if I can replicate the complete crash again (managed it 3 times in a row before i posted the issue) I'll update you,

Update - i managed to get the device to hang but it resumed after a few seconds, the error posted in the log at the time was

Error reading next packet: Invaid packet header: Magic: 889144D6 Len: -103043725 Bytes - ts: 192551009176861419

I hope this helps?

This is the same problem as issue #91 when the screen has too much static content the video encoder will produce huge keyframes which we can't send due to the memory limits of the sysmodule, currently there's no fix.

[exelix11]

As for the freezing issue i'll keep it in mind but at the moment can't seem to make sense out of that. Could you try with the previous version of the sysmodule? maybe that could tell us if it was caused by the recent changes.

[Vwfil]

yes no problem, is that with just the module or would you like me to roll back the client aswell?

I've not used sysDVR before this version so im unable to comment un earlier versions without running them.

[exelix11]

You should downgrade both and reboot the console after copying the files.

[Vwfil]

no improvement after downgrading unfortunatly, i assume its also linked to #91 with the hacking screen having alot of static assests.
