Hi, try this:

  1. Open Citra then go to File->Open Citra Folder
  2. Open shaders folder then delete the opengl folder if it is there.
  3. Emulation->Configure... then click on Graphics on the left
  4. Click on the Advanced tab and turn on Accurate Multiplication

The Disk Shader Cache currently has a bug when Accurate Multiplication is turned off causing it to load all shaders slowly from zero every time you start the game and makes the precompiled cache extrememly large + the RAM usage skyrockets until you crash.

Thanks, it worked however, now at the start of every match, there is a moment where the game stutters. Not sure if it is because of updates or because of accurate multiplication.

If you recently cleared the shader cache, give Citra a moment to rebuild it and it should get better. Citra is not perfect, I still have hiccups here and there on i7-3770K @ 4.3GHz with a GTX 1070.

Haven’t cleared my shaders ever but can understand how Citra is still somewhat buggy.

Oh you didn’t do step 1 & 2 above? You should so that the cache can be rebuilt correctly from scratch due to the bug. Double check that Accurate Multiplication is turned on.
