Ultra Moon keeps crashing

Issue:
During the starting video call with Kukui, my game freezes, fps drops to 0, then Citra just closes.

In order to save a copy of the log, follow this guide:

The log file is incomplete. Make sure you follow the steps carefully:

  1. Open Citra, then go to File>Open Citra Folder (Citra>Open Citra Folder if on MacOS) and open up the log folder. Now keep that open in the background.
  2. Launch your game and encounter the problem; crash/slowdown/glitch and close Citra if it doesn’t do so by itself. Do not restart Citra as that will wipe the log of important information!
  3. Now upload the log file in this chat.

thank you so much!!! this worked for me, but it was a pain in the ass to do. But I can play ultra moon now, thank you!

I wish there were an easier way to do it. But you can thank Intel that there isn’t one.
