Black Screen when just starting the emulator?

#1

Issue:
For some reason, my PC frequently displays a blackscreen on the whole screen for a second, just when citra is running. This doesn’t happens due to a game, it is the emulator itself, since it already happens when no game is running whatsoever.

I disabled hardware renderer in the configurations and also updated the drivers for the graphiccards, but nothing changes :confused:

The effect gets even worse, when running a game, and just some seconds after the game started, the emulator crashes or rather it just simply closes itself really quickly.

Also, in the last days, the emulator worked perfectly fine. After i updated some drivers, the issue was still there but on the next day it worked perfectly! I also updated Citra to Canary 1208 without any issues. Until now. All what i did was just dumping another 3DS game and copying it onto my PC, and just some seconds later the blackscreen is back and the emulator closes/crashes again when starting a game :’(

when it crashes close citra and don’t open again, open the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\citra\log and upload your log again.
