PPSSPP Crashing when switching apps

[SavageJester]

What happens?

When I am in PPSSPP playing something I switch to a different app the game starts to crash. It is as if PPSSPP allows me switch apps for about 5 times before finally crashing.

What should happen?

PPSSPP should not crash when switching between apps.

What hardware, operating system, and PPSSPP version? On desktop, GPU matters for graphical issues.

REV1.0, Android 10, PPSSPP v.1.9.3-695-g15a785cac

Does it seem to matter which game? Are you using the Vulkan or the OpenGL graphics backend?

A log of the crash would be helpful:

I don't have a good repro for this, PPSSPP doesn't crash a lot for me when task switching. I'm gonna postpone further work until after 1.11.

I think it's possible to crashed if you're running out of free space, which i experienced recently when switching app several times while trying to do remote disc streaming.

There is also a possible crash when the logcat is flooded too fast, increasing the Logger buffer size to the highest value through Developer options can prevent the crash related to logcat,
But current PPSSPP shouldn't have this logcat crash issue, because i only had this issue while i was working on the multiplayer fix for Driver 76, thus couldn't make any PR yet because of this crash issue isn't resolved yet.

Has this improved at all in recent git builds?

This is probably a duplicate of #13800

This is also safe to close assuming that this is also about vulkan minimizing/switching crash issue that is fix by 7b07a13

[hrydgard]

Yeah, let's close.
