Citra keeps crashing when trying to load shaders

Citra Support
1

Issue:
Whenever the “loading shaders” screen appears, the emulator crashes. Before the most recent update it was doing this exactly 50% of the time, but now it always crashes. The issue started a few updates ago and did not occur before.
On games that do not prompt shaders to load, it does not crash (tested this with tomodachi life)

System Information

  • Operating System: Windows
  • CPU: intel core i5-3570
  • GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6800 series
  • Citra Version (found in title bar): 1979
  • Game: Animal crossing new leaf, also tested with Miitopia, but I cannot confirm that the issue occurred with that game before the update as I did not test it before today.

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