Greetings . Crash team racing nitro fueled. Significant performance and stability degradation from version 2228 onwards. In version 2227 and earlier, everything is going fine. Is it possible to find out the specific reason for this behavior and is it realistic to fix it yourself?

How’s the performance on Vulkan?

#11

On vulkan fps is stable only when you are standing still, it is worth getting under way and strong friezes immediately begin. All this is observed starting with build 2228 and newer, if you drop the exe file 2227 with a replacement in a folder with 2228 and newer, then everything works fine. I think the problem is in the exe file and changes in it that have occurred since version 2228

#12

A dev confirmed it to be an issue, hopefully a fix will be released soon.

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

  • Your GPU hardware only supports OpenGL version 4.3.0. Yuzu now requires OpenGL 4.6.0 and above. https://yuzu-emu.org/wiki/faq/
  • Enabling Async GPU emulation is recommended as it can improve the performance of many games.

Update GPU Driver.
Intel 30.0.101.1069 date 11/11/2021:

Intel laptop/prebuilt users with old driver versions will have to follow this video tutorial:

#17

Use Vulkan for Intel GPU, if it is not working try without Mods, and you are using a very old Yuzu Early Access, get latest Yuzu Early Access 2254 or newer, latest Yuzu Mainline 834.

#18

If you click a game, the game might go crash on Vulkan. Mine got froze…

Make sure you’re running the latest driver for the integrated GPU.

#20

Updated recommended drivers, added bootcamp and out of support modified drivers for Radeon cards.
