Here’s some issues I found with your log that might help.

  • Due to AMD’s poorly optimized OpenGL driver, you may experience slowdowns.
  • You have cheats enabled. This might cause weird behaviour or crashes. Please disable them and retest if your game is experiencing bugs or crashes.

Hi sir, which one I need to extract and what’s the build for? Sorry, need further assistance. It is my first time to do these things. @tywald

#5

Is there a way to know which is the version I used to play that game? I can’t remember the specific version… Kindly assist. Thank you. @tywald

#6

Download citra-windows-mingw-20221023-a2daef2.7z under Assets from the GitHub link.

#7

I did that already however I didn’t recover the in-game save file from the game. Is there a way for me to identify which Citra version I used when I played the game so I can recover the in-game save? @tywald

#8

You should be able to load the save state on that version, then save in-game. If that doesn’t work then the only way I know to find out is to open the save state in a Hex Editor and check the hash but that is complicated.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Save states are not replacements for regular in-game saves.

#9

So, there’s no way for me to identify which version I used to play the game aside from the Hex Editor? Is there a way for me to know the save state aside from doing it manually like downloading every version and hope that’s the Citra version with the save state? @tywald

#10

More info on that here:

I basically never use save states, only in-game saves as they are stable.

#11

This seems so complicated… Thanks for these. I guess, I need to be more careful next time in frequently getting copies of my in-game saves. Thank you @tywald
