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

  • You are running out of date drivers for your GPU. You need to install the most recent driver for your graphics card from Intel’s website. Support for Intel® Graphics
  • The CPU Clock percentage is not 100%. You may experience unexpected game speed.

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

I’ve been trying some solutions that I found on different threads and nothing is working. The same issue is happening with MH Generations, other games work fine.

I had this same issue yesterday what I did to fix it was swap from openGL to Vulkan

A recent fix for OpenGL has been merged but usually Vulkan is faster so you probably don’t want to switch back.

Just switched to Vulkan and it still doesn’t work. I don’t know what else to try.

Make sure Citra is updated before you try again.
