Pokemon games crashing at random

Citra Support
#1

Issue:
After opening and running both Pokemon X and Omega Ruby they will randomly crash after about 5 minutes for no apparent reason. The games will run perfectly apart from that, at 30fps and at 100 speed. Im on mac and before the crash it will freeze for a second and the “spinning ball of death” will appear. It will then resume for about 3 seconds before crashing.

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.
  • LLE Audio is designed for debugging purposes. Using this option will slow down your game. Try changing to HLE audio.

Enabled accurate multiplication and switched back to HLE audio. Still crashed randomly on Omega Ruby.

It is ENABLED?? This would be great if it was an actual person

This is the log of the crash that occured on Pokemon X, again it was completely random even with HLE on and Accurate multiplication.

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

Use default Citra settings(click Reset All Settings in General settings) then try this build: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases/tag/nightly-1392

Usually older GPUs don’t like the Split Presentation Thread change.

Okay cheers, it seems to have stopped the crashing so far but my performance has become a bit more erratic with losing speed and frames. Are there any ways to try and speed it back up to what it was?

Unfortunately Apple has deprecated OpenGL so basically no :frowning:
