Luigi's Mansion (3DS) Flashlight Not Rendering Correctly

Citra Support
#1

Issue:
Enter a description of your issue here, in full detail.
The flashlight just renders very strangely in the room, cutting off the beam of light randomly. It worked on my PC on an earlier version of Citra, but I ended up having to switch to the canary build because the nightly build stopped working for me.

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

  • Due to AMD’s poorly optimized OpenGL driver, you may experience slowdowns.
#3

Enable Hardware Shaders in Emulation>Configuration>Graphics>Advanced Tab.

#4

That didn’t fix it, also caused massive lag haha.

#5

I’m having the exact same issue, I’m using the nightly build (1788) with the Hardware Shader on and no matter what this still happens, it seems like the renderer is in reverse casting the light of the flashlight behind luigi, just like your example photo. Weirldy enough Citra still says its “Perfect” compatibility.

#6

Yeah, the frustrating thing is it was working perfectly fine in an older version of citra, but that version just stopped working on my PC one day and then when I updated this started happening. Very annoying.

#7

I feel ya man, hoping they can figure out why this happens

#8

i have the same exact problem as well

#9

Just wanted to pop in and say I’m also experiencing this issue

#10

i have the same issue as well when im playing the game

#11

Can you upload a video of the issue? It might be a regression that wasn’t reported so it’s good to know if it worked correctly in the past, but doesn’t any longer.

#12

Sorry for the late response, I do have 2 videos of the issue taken from the most up to date versions, Nightly build 1794 and Canary build 2294. Both show the same issue functioning the same, I’d post the videos here if the citra community page actually allowed for it, however the only things I can upload according to the option are "jpg, jpeg, png, gif, txt and log. I really do want you to see the issue in motion, so is there a way I can send it to you?

#13

Upload the videos to something like Google drive, then post the public link to them here.

#14
#15

I see. Can you upload a log file to go along with that? I want to confirm something.
