Thousands of Junk Textures Dumped Per Minute

Citra Support
1

Issue:

This issue is exclusive to Kid Icarus: Uprising. All other games that I’ve tested seem to dump textures normally. Whenever I get into a level (actual gameplay, not menus), Citra starts dumping a ridiculous number of junk textures, see screenshot. Citra is dumping the normal game textures, but in addition to that, it’s dumping tons of other images.

From only 60 seconds of gameplay, Citra has dumped over 16,000 images.

This bug has made it nearly impossible to pull the actual textures from the game because of the thousands upon thousands of junk textures that appear in the folder as well.

This bug occurs with Vulkan and OpenGL, and I’ve played around with most of the graphics settings in Citra, yet nothing has solved this.

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

  • You have cheats enabled. This might cause weird behaviour or crashes. Please disable them and retest if your game is experiencing bugs or crashes.
  • You are using open source system files for Mii data. This will appear as your Mii having broken graphics, but will not affect the stability of the game. In order to resolve this, please refer to our guide on dumping system files. https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-system-archives-and-the-shared-fonts-from-a-3ds-console/

I did not find anything wrong in your log file. Please wait for a human moderator to assist.

I’m pretty sure it’s more of an issue with how the game uses textures. There was a GitHub project that managed to clear some of the junk textures if i remember correctly.

7

I’ve been looking through GitHub and can’t find the project you’re referring to; can you send a link to it?

Also it would be cool to know if anyone on the Citra team is aware of this issue/working towards implementing a official fix.

8

We’re aware of the issue. I’ll check again with the developer, but he said that this game and one of the inazuma games have this issue for some reason.

As of Canary 2679 this bug has been resolved.
