Citra quit unexpectedly mac

Issue:
The game lags and shuts down abruptly showing the message Citra quit unexpectedly. I’ve tried solutions found in Citra Support such as enabling accurate multiplication and disabling shader JIT but they still do not work.

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

  • Enabling Accurate Multiplication is recomended in certain games. If you are experiencing graphical glitches, try enabling this option.

Since you have an old GPU which can randomly crash due to a driver bug you might need to use Nightly 1392 until you upgrade your computer as it is the last build before the Split Presentation Thread change: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases/tag/nightly-1392

The game runs now but there is no background music in the game.

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

The fixes to AAC decoder came afterwards but yeah due to Split Presentation Thread change you wouldn’t be able to use it. It is possible to create your own build where you revert Split Presentation Thread. Here are build instructions for macOS if you want to give it a go:
