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

  • The CPU Clock percentage is not 100%. You may experience unexpected game speed.

i did notice the cpu clock percentage being 95% for some reason between the two screenshots, and changed it to 100%, but this made no difference.

Save states also load the settings Citra was configured with at the time of saving. Also, the log file says 55%, not 95%. In which case the freezing makes sense. Launch the game without using any save states, and make sure that the CPU Clock Speed is set to 100% and that Hardware Shaders are enabled in Emulation>Configure>Graphics>Advanced Tab
