Tekken 8 Shader Decompression/Compilation Errors on Intel

[ImTheRealSlayer]

Hey all,

 

was super hyped to play Tekken 8 today but the world had other plans. Every time I launch the game, it crashes with this error message:

LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\p4\eagle\v100_xx2-build_pkg_win\ue\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\ShaderCodeArchive.cpp] [Line: 354]

ShaderCodeArchive::DecompressShader(): Could not decompress shader (GetShaderCompressionFormat=Oodle)

 

Occasionally i'll get a "Not enough VRAM" error, i could not get the exact wording since it's extremely random.

 

While writing this post, I then got this error message. i've only seen it twice.

LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\p4\eagle\v100_xx2-build_pkg_win\ue\Engine\Source\Runtime\RHI\Private\PipelineStateCache.cpp] [Line: 348]

Shader compilation failures are Fatal.

 

If I don't recieve these errors, the game hangs and is stuck in a "Not Responding" state.

 

My system specs are as follows:
CPU: i9-13900K (Not Overclocked)
GPU: RTX3080Ti
MoBo: Tuf Gaming B760-PLUS WiFi
RAM: 32GB
Game is installed on an SSD.

 

I have already done the following:

• Updated GPU Driver

• Verified game file integrity

• Tried to undervolt the CPU - Intel XTU Will NOT let me change my P-Cores down to 52x like everyone is recommending and i don't know why

• This is a fairly fresh install of windows (less than two months old)

• Tried running the game as administrator

• Tried running the game under Windows 8 Compatability mode.

• Tried both!

There are extemely limited resources for troubleshooting online, which has lead me to create this post. from my research, the 13900k is just awful on stock settings and i should change it. funny that. I have also made a reddit post about this, i would like to get this resolved ASAP.

 

Please, if you know how to fix this or could work with me on this i would be extremely appreciative.

 

I just wanna play tekken, man.

The game seems to be a mess, i got this similar error in the demo, hence im probably holding off buying this since the devs don't even acknowledge these issues AFAIK

 

 

 

The only thing i found for a possible fix was to disable hyperthreading, which i haven't tried yet, as im not sure about negative implications of doing that.

 

but if you try, let me know if that fixes it?

Sucks to see we're having similar issues. i managed to get the game to launch (finally) by changing which version of the microcode my cpu was using to an older one. i'm gonna experiment and disable hyperthreading. i'll keep you posted.

what kind of microcode? wonder if that would work for me as well.

Not sure where it would be on other motherboards, you'll need to check.

disabling hyperthreading did not work either btw.

I have resolved the issue somewhat. The game still crashes from time to time, but Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Customisation, Gallery, Jukebox, and Getting to the Tekken Online Lobby works. I haven't tested online play yet.

This has been tested with 13900k - your results may vary.

 

1 - Change your CPU from "Current Microcode" to 0x104. Here's how to do that on ASUS motherboards
https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/intel-700-600-series/microcode-management/td-p/955874
2 - Download and run a program named Process Lasso.

3 - Run Tekken 8. When it crashes, DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW.

4 - Look for Tekken 8 in Process Lasso.

5 - Right Click Tekken 8.exe
6 - Click "CPU Priority > Always" and set to "Real Time"

7 - Click "CPU Affinity" and click "Disable Hyperthreading"

8 - Right Click "Polaris"

9 - Click "CPU Priority > Always" and set to "Real Time"

10 - Click "CPU Affinity" and click "Disable Hyperthreading"

11 - In the menu bar, click "Options > CPU > CPU Affinities"

12 - Double click "tekken 8.exe" and click on "Select"

13 - You want to dedicate slightly more than half of your P-Cores to Tekken 8. In my example with the 13900k I have 8 P-Cores, that would mean that cores 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 are selected.

14 - Select "Ok" and select "Add Rule"
15 - Repeat this for "polaris", using the remainder of your P-Cores. Again, with our 13900k example, we would use the last three P-Cores, numbered 10, 12 and 14.

15 - Make sure that the "More strictly enforce default affinites" is checked.

16 - Click "Ok"

17 - In the menu bar, click "Options > CPU > CPU Priorities"

18 - Ensure that the two exe's are set to "Real Time" and that "More Strictly Enforce Default Priorities" at the bottom is checked.

 

Save the config and relaunch Tekken 8. Happy gaming!

well i have a 5800x3d, but glad you mostly fixed it - thing is i just tried it and it doesn't crash...

 

arcade,  customization, online,  no crashes

 

only thing that *still* crashes is the xbox avatar/arcade "quest" thing apparently...
