Issue:
Ever since updating to Nightly 1885, I’ve been unable to launch games. Citra unpacks the shaders, hangs on a black screen for several seconds, then crashes

The log file is incomplete. Make sure you follow the steps carefully:
File>Open Citra Folder (Citra>Open Citra Folder if on MacOS) and open up the log folder. Now keep that open in the background.I’m having an identical issue with my games, it could be fixed when running the Software shader instead of OpenGL, but would cause the game to run at unplayable low framerate.

Your log file indicates that you’ve run into a bug that was introduced in the latest update. The developer has been made aware and we’re working on getting the fix out as soon as possible.
good to hear, keep up the good work!
We believe we have a fix for the issue. Could I ask you to help with testing?
If so, you’ll need to log into a Github account, then go to this page: gl_rasterizer: Fix texel buffer size overflow by vitor-k · Pull Request #6458 · citra-emu/citra · GitHub
On the right, there’ll be an Artifacts 4 tab. Click on that to expose the download options.
Download the linux-mingw build. Extract it using winrar or 7zip and run citra-qt(.exe). Now try your game again and let us know whether it solves the issue for you or not.
Working on the download
(it may be a bit my internet is terrible)
Works perfectly so far, thanks for your help!
Thanks for testing! I’ll pass it along 
Working great for me too!
The fix should be in the newest Nightly already. Go ahead and update when able

I can’t play Pokemon Omega Ruby. Ever since updating, it crashes upon opening. I’ve been able to play it in 60 fps before but for some reason after I updated Citra a year ago, it stopped working ever since.
