  • Due to AMD’s poorly optimized OpenGL driver, you may experience slowdowns.

Bad optimization?? How do I fix it? Thank you

Use Linux. That’s basically it. AMD’s Windows drivers (at least the current stable ones) have crappy OpenGL drivers. I’m not sure if you were using Linux before (which is what SteamOS is) for Citra, or if you were playing a different game (some games are just harder to run than others). But Linux is generally speaking a lot better in terms of GPU driver quality.

Why do I have to have linux? I don’t want and thank you…I remember the older version working and playing nicer than the newer version…I’m used to Windows than Linux…I just wanted to advise and not linux…I found a solution…

Edit: I found an older version of Citra Canary 2311 and it is stable than 2330…Solved
