Rune Factory 4: consistently slows down when entering certain areas in game

Issue:
Game slows down to <15% speed when entering certain areas in-game, becoming unplayable. If a save file is created at that point, the slow speed lingers even after exiting Citra and loading the save file. For context, this only started occurring about 50hrs real time in to the game. The only change to my laptop has been the usual updates with Citra when I get promoted to do so.

Unable to upload the txt file as instructed. What do?

Bump. I really started enjoying this game. It’s been a real let down with this sudden issue preventing me from playing. Help greatly appreciated!

Bump. Anyone know what the average response time for support is?

Big Sad :frowning: gave up. Uninstalled Citra. Is it possible to delete a forum post? I don’t want to give anyone else hope that RF4 will work through end of game.
