[SOLVED] Visual problems in Pokemon Moon

Citra Support
#1

SOLUTION: Turn off Accurate Multiplication and Disable Disk Shader Cache, seems to work for now.

Issue:
I’m playing Pokemon Moon and when I start the game, many visual things are missing and only the base text and such is shown clearly. The animations and such seem to also be working perfectly but there are visual bugs that do not show some elements.

Same problem in Citra Canary 1760.

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

Ignore the bot, it is a bit dumb when it comes to older GPUs :stuck_out_tongue:

Since you have an old GPU which can randomly crash due to a driver bug you might need to use Nightly 1392 until you upgrade your computer as it is the last build before the Split Presentation Thread change: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases/tag/nightly-1392
Ops didn’t see you already used it :stuck_out_tongue:

If that doesn’t work you might need to go back to even Nightly 860, which is the last build with the “AMD hack” for all GPUs which HD 4600 benefited from: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases/tag/nightly-860

#4

I was using Nightly 1392 in the beginning, Anyways I seem to have found a solution in an older post in the community, Turning off Accurate Multiplication seems to fix it perfectly.

But I seem to recall reading that it shouldn’t be turned off?
Will there be any problems arising in the future if I continue to go with this fix?

#5

Oh ok, if that option must be disabled “to fix” it you must also turn off Disk Shader Cache because there is a bug which will lead to a crash when Accurate Multiplication is turned off.

I dont see the disk shader cache option at all in Nightly 1392,
I think it might have been introduced in later versions maybe? Will that be a problem?

#8

Yeah, in that case there should not be any issues :slight_smile:
