Ridge Racer

I have tried two different sources of the game and I can't get the game to get past this point.

Yes I own the game, not currently able to dump my own though.

There's no point posting my current settings, I've gone through and changed virtually every setting back and forth while trying to get past this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am using PPSSPP v1.3

My hardware:
FX-8350
R9-290
32GB 1866mhz DDR3 Ram
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
Windows 10.
9TB total storage available.

Hi there,
I take it you are using Open GL backend.
seems you have the same problematic AMD graphics drivers, as mentioned a few times on these forums.
One guy suggested using an older driver which actually does work a lot better, until AMD sort out the bugs / problems with the latest driver.
Its not a bug / problem with PPSSPP as you found out due to you trying out every combination of settings and made no difference.
Also try DirectX backend to see if it has same problem or not. let us know.
I don't personally have a AMD PC, so can't test myself, sadly.
