VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST on "Nintendo Presents" in BOWT, xe Linux driver

Current Behavior

Request to press "A" is correctly displayed. After pressing the button, game hangs on "Nintendo Presents" screen. By disabling some async options, it is possible to see a few more text screens, but game never proceeds further.

If an existing save file is used, main menu is displayed properly, but picking any option results in a hang, so no submenus can be opened.

During the hang, GPU utilization jumps to 100% (from about 3%), and stays there for 5 seconds, until xe driver job timeout kills it, resulting in the following dmesg lines: [Sun Mar 29 19:49:22 2026] xe 0000:04:00.0: [drm] GT0: Engine reset: engine_class=rcs, logical_mask: 0x1, guc_id=6 [Sun Mar 29 19:49:22 2026] xe 0000:04:00.0: [drm] GT0: Timedout job: seqno=1570, lrc_seqno=1570, guc_id=6, flags=0x0 in cemu [90110]

Expected Behavior

Game should not hang.

Steps to Reproduce

Happens reliably every time I run the game (BOTW, v208 + DLCs), reproducible on kernel 6.14 and 6.17, with Cemu 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 (AppImage). Logs were recorded on the build from this comment: https://github.com/cemu-project/Cemu/issues/1506#issuecomment-4102364168

Logs (Optional)

VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation enabled Seems like game hangs somewhere after starting Texture-Readback transfer. One thing that Validation Layer notices around those calls is incorrect swizzle settings, which correspond to gpuSamplerSwizzle (from word4 of a texture register) being 0. log.txt
