Citra freezing bug

Citra Support

Issue:
I already had this before, and it was fixed for a moment after updating my drivers, but it came back.
What happens is :

  • First the game freezes with no problems at first, sound can still be heard, as if only the game image froze (this is what happens for every freezes described later on)
  • On restart of the game, it works some seconds after freezing again
  • On restart of Citra, when the game is launched, it has some visual bugs (sort of statics ? little black squares), and can be launched from some seconds to minutes later (10 sec - 15 mins [Unknown whether it could go even more longer]) before freezing again

Core_CPUClockPercentage: 400
Go to Emulation>Configuration>Debug and set the CPU Clock Speed back down to 100%. As the warning under this option clearly states, messing with this setting will make Citra unstable and can cause freezes. You really shouldn’t be messing with this unless you know what you’re doing.

Didn’t work
Issue :

  • Just like last time, freezing, with visual bugs.

Go to File>Open Citra Folder and delete the shaders folder found here. Now try your game again.

Didn’t work, after deleting shaders file (log is at the second loading => too much lag)

  • Just like last time, freezing, with visual bugs.

Let’s try reinstalling the latest GPU driver just to make sure this isn’t some weird driver corruption:

Download and install gfx_win_101.2115.exe from Intel® 6th-10th Gen Processor Graphics - Windows
Mirror download: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/764512/gfx_win_101.2115.exe

I think it has solved the problem, so maybe it was only the driver that is not very compatible with either Citra or pokemon AS rom
Thank you for your support,
*I may update this if I get the error again
