Issue:
Like the title says, Citra crashes/closes itself whenever I try to run a rom.
It worked fine a few days ago (exept I couldn’t play on 30fps due my gpu) but now I can’t even try to play because of the instant crash/close.
Did it got messed up after my GPU update I made yesterday?
I have to admit, I’m not that familiar with Computer stuff ^^;

I’ve re-install the whole Emulator and tried to start a game (because it didn’t let me to open the cheats so I could disable them), but it still instant crashes/closes while it tries to load the game.
I looked up into the log and it got an error with linking shader or something, so it probably has to do something with my latest update of my GPU Driver
Thanks to the fact that you said that the amd update did not work for you, I tried to download the previous version of amd adrenaline 22.6.1 and now it works fine.
This is the link in case you want to download the previous version
Download citra canary. Citra nightlin doesn’t work with “Adrenalin 22.7.1” drivers but otherwise you get a performance boost when using Citra canary. x2

Here’s some issues I found with your log that might help.
Due to AMD’s poorly optimized OpenGL driver, you may experience slowdowns.
Update the graphics drivers to version “Adrenalin 22.7.1” and download citra canary, that will solve your problem while increasing the performance of citra.
I have a problem where Citra just closes down when I load a save state file. Before it had no problems but when I installed the new Citra update, this happens. The game runs fine if I don’t use save states but I’m already so far in, I don’t want to restart. citra_log.txt (41.6 KB)
Save states are not recommended to be used as your main saving method. They are a lot more unstable than in-game save files and are thus only recommended to be used within single gaming sessions, not beyond them.
Aside from that, to recover your save state’s data, follow these steps:
Download citra-windows-mingw-20230216-bb8dde8.7z from Release nightly-1843 · citra-emu/citra-nightly · GitHub
Extract using winrar or 7zip, then run the citra-qt(.exe) found inside of the extracted folder. Load your game, load your save state, and save in-game. Now you can continue playing on the latest Citra builds.
