Deleting shaders folder didn’t work.

Hmm, please try out a portable build and see if the freeze still occurs:

Go to Download Citra - Citra and select Manual download. Then under Nightly Build, click on your operating system’s icon to the right of the latest build available to download the build.
Extract it (.7z can be extracted using Winrar or 7zip) and put it wherever you wish. Inside the extracted nightly-mingw folder, create a folder called user. This Citra should now store all of its config, save files and such inside of this user folder.
Check to make sure that this user folder is in the same folder that contains citra-qt(.exe)
Now run the citra-qt executable found inside of the mingw folder and run your game. If the issue persists, upload a log file using this portable build.

Did as instructed. Still happens, even in opening cutscene.

I did not find anything wrong in your log file. Please wait for a human moderator to assist.

Hmmm, are you using any sort of ROM hack or randomization on your ROMs?

Yes its randomized, but its strange because once in a blue moon. It will work flawlessly before randomly the issue reappears.

Please make sure to try without the randomization first, and see if you encounter the issue. If that doesn’t happen, then the issue is with the randomization, not with Citra.
