Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain graphical glitch (maybe linked to save states))

[ry]

Hi all,
Was playing through Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and after about an hour or two of no issues, it now seems to have gotten stuck in a state where I'm getting graphical glitches that make it unplayable.

I'm using the default lr-pcsx-rearmed with save states. The issue occurred right when either saving or loading to a save state (I'm not sure which because I saved and then loaded rather quickly one after the other). The strange thing is that I had 2 save states going and so I assumed (and hoped) that only the 1 would be corrupted, but when I switched to the other I had the same issue. Tried restarting the game and the system with no help. Also tried updating lr-pcsx-rearmed, also no help. The issue disappears on the menu screens (both 'start' and 'select' screens), but is always there on the main game screen. Here's a screenshot:

At first the whole screen was glitched out, but then after going to the pause menu and returning to the main screen the glitch was limtied just to the right-hand info bar. That being said, the glitch varies each time I pause and unpause; once Kain had just completely disappeared. I can still move Kain around but obviously the game is not playable in this state :(

And here's my system info:
Pi Model or other hardware: 4B 2gb
Power Supply used: official pi supply
RetroPie Version Used: 5.10.103-v71+
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: PS3 controller
Controller used: PS3 controller
Emulator: lr-pcsx-rearmed

I'm wondering if there's a chance that some kind of configuration option could fix this issue without me having to restart the game? And if I do restart the game, I'm not sure what the best approach would be; I guess I could try using the games' save feature rather than save states since there seems to have been some kind of link with the issue and save states?

thanks in advance for any help!
