Problems or notes: Vulkan, docked, 2x, GPU accuracy Low, game version 1.1. User reported haze gone and Link and Kokiri Forest clearly visible in gameplay, but FPS was described as low. Handheld mode was not tested.
Problems or notes: Vulkan, docked, 1x. User reported grass visible and the tree clearly visible through grey fog in front of the Deku Tree; 16 FPS was a single in-game counter reading.
From build-75 to build-83: follow the gameplay changes described for these two builds.
Before: Missing vegetation and incorrect material data; affected lighting and colours; a glowing doorway; one-frame white flashes; and on AMD, shaders could produce a black 3D scene.
After: Additional shader pointers and storage-buffer bindings, corrected buffer tracking and mesh-shader register handling, fixed occlusion-query and nested-return handling, and added the Max Resolution add-on and frame-ahead presentation tuning.

Problems or notes: User reports heavily distorted speech, music, and effects (“robot voice”). Comments clarify that the approximately 0.7032 accepted/copied ratio reflects retries, not audio loss at that point; they discuss possible timebase or host-drain causes without confirming which applies. The user also says build 75 does not reach gameplay, instead hitting a guest Userspace PANIC (`debug_buffer_err_code=40299`) about 29 seconds in and presenting a static black frame at 59.9 FPS.

Problems or notes: User reports say the game reaches gameplay and then loses the GPU device. The report also mentions black output after rejecting selected shaders and a later device loss. All tried settings and environment-variable changes still resulted in device loss.
Problems or notes: The comment reports 4800 to 16800 presents and 32 FPS, and says the game presents frames. This is compared with local builds of commit b8c812b18 that stalled at max present 8 and showed no frames; the difference's cause is unresolved.
Problems or notes: User reports no hang, but the 3D scene is black with HUD only.
Problems or notes: Issue reporter says the game remains on "Launching..." indefinitely; the log shows the emulated program breaking execution with error F001. Additional user reports mention infinite launch screens. Other users report that R75 MSVC boots past the intro FMV in docked mode, but describes severe white/black-screen graphics problems in other builds or modes.
Problems or notes: A user reports booting and working past the intro FMV in docked mode; no sustained gameplay is stated.
Problems or notes: User report: Approximately 18 FPS in gameplay, with frequent hangs or stalls whose trigger and duration were not isolated. Settings included Vulkan, 1X resolution, Accurate GPU mode, and Handheld console mode.
Problems or notes: The local ClangCL build of b8c812b18 stalled at max present 8 and showed no frames. A local MSVC build of the same commit also stalled at max present 8 and died within a minute.
Problems or notes: User reports GPU hang or device loss when gameplay starts on local build 27226d2. A separate local build with #150 reverted, #127 kept, and docked mode reportedly avoids the hang and renders the full scene at about 24 FPS; another configuration without #127 renders only areas lit by Navi.
Problems or notes: A user reports a local 27226d2 build with #150 pointer-binding commits reverted ran for 5+ minutes past the point where the original build timed out; grass and trees were reportedly still missing.

Problems or notes: On Windows 11 25H2, the game passes the initial launching stage but becomes unresponsive at “Building 9 shaders”; audio continues and it does not reach gameplay. The report identifies the game as Switch 2 version 1.1.1.
Problems or notes: On Windows 11 Version 26H2, the Start Menu and 2D UI render, but gameplay has a completely black screen for all 3D geometry. With use_disk_shader_cache = true, subsequent boots hang at Loading Shaders 25 / 27; the reporter says deleting cache/shader/0400486024dec000 and setting use_disk_shader_cache = false resolves the startup freeze. The report says the black-screen workaround still does not render 3D scenes on this RDNA 2 card.
Problems or notes: Reporter describes a black screen after the intro caused by a rejected 1080p upscaler shader. They report a second AMD-only rendering issue that leaves the world black except around Navi and Link; with both cited fixes, gameplay renders. Handheld mode is reported as brighter and blurrier than Docked mode. Texture flicker is reported with Low GPU accuracy and GPU thread split; High removes it but disables the split and runs at about 9 fps.
Problems or notes: User reports over-bright bloom/glow, dense fog, incorrect lighting on characters and terrain, and some textures decoded as garbage after entering an outdoor area. The game does not crash. Performance was reported as 33–34 ms/frame until about 80 seconds, then 89.5 ms/frame (about 11 fps) outdoors.
Problems or notes: A user reports a black screen past the title screen.
Problems or notes: A user reports that it boots, but shaders are very bad and everything is white; in handheld mode everything appears black.
Problems or notes: Gameplay starts, but the 3D scene and character are black; menus and item preview can render, and HUD elements remain visible. Reported GPU shader errors include rejected native texture gather shaders and draws skipped for no pipeline.
Problems or notes: A commenter reported that only the starting menu and options appeared before Play, with audio working and no HUD visible.
Problems or notes: A commenter reported that the game launched and audio and controls worked, but the 3D gameplay scene remained black while the HUD was visible.
Problems or notes: A commenter reported a black screen after the introductory cinematic and audio playing ahead of the video during the intro.
Problems or notes: On Windows 11 with Vulkan, the game reaches gameplay, but the 3D scene is black while the HUD remains visible. The report notes shader rejections and skipped draws. A commenter reported that switching to Docked mode resolved the black screen, but also reported slow performance; others reported stuttering, FPS drops, overexposure, black scenes on AMD GPUs, or audio playing ahead of the video during the intro.
Problems or notes: A commenter reported that the 3D scene was not black, but shadows flickered and trees had no leaves.
Problems or notes: A commenter reported that the title screen rendered, but gameplay remained black at 31 FPS. Docked mode and the listed graphics-setting changes did not help; the commenter could not confirm the mode switch because the status bar continued to show HANDHELD.
Problems or notes: User report: A local candidate build and bundled settings produced 53.66 presents/s in a stationary village view. Limited gameplay traversed to the maze entrance and returned without death or reload; the test did not cover sword pickup, further boulder traversal, or the Deku Tree. Native 60 FPS was not locked, and the report does not establish full-game compatibility.
Problems or notes: A commenter reports that with asynchronous shader compilation off, the game loaded and played on an MSVC fork build on Windows 11 24H2, handheld, at 1x. With asynchronous shader compilation on, it either stayed black with background audio or remained at “Building N shader(s)” at 0 FPS. The commenter says this build already contained #149; disabling async compilation is a user-reported workaround, not a confirmed fix.
Problems or notes: A commenter reports that the game logo and menu options show, but there are no 3D graphics. The commenter attributes the issue to the PGO Windows build and says MSVC works.
Problems or notes: Commenter reports the over-bright, washed-out rendering is gone and says the title was played for about 20 minutes without stretched/exploded environment geometry recurring. The specific build changes responsible are unknown.

Problems or notes: User report: Native gameplay remained below 60 FPS after shader warmup. Measurements varied by scene and settings; walking, camera movement, ladder climbing, NPC dialogue, autosave, and loading an outdoor save worked in a limited test. Audio was not assessed.
Problems or notes: User reports audio and video desynchronization on the title screen and intro. A commenter reports title-screen video in heavy slow motion, audio leading by approximately 3 seconds and the gap increasing by the initial dream cutscene; changing Frame Pacing (30/60/Auto) or reducing Anisotropic Filtering to 2x did not resolve it.
Problems or notes: With Low GPU accuracy and EDEN_NX2_SPLIT=2, textures and surfaces flicker and some surfaces remain white; reported frame time was 29–44 ms per frame, up to about 20 ms in lighter areas. High accuracy removes the flicker but disables the split and results in 9–14 fps. Accurate GPU fence behavior hangs after about 45 seconds; enabling buffer downloads does not resolve the flicker. Outdoor haze and a dark river surface are also reported.

Problems or notes: User reports the app crashes when opening the game, with a segmentation fault. They say some earlier builds worked.
Problems or notes: Dynamic FPS is enabled by default, but full gameplay timing has not been verified; CPU Clock Boost/Overclock can affect game speed.
Problems or notes: Issue reporter describes shader problems and gameplay at about 30% speed. A commenter reports that GPU Mode: Fast restored normal speed and reached 60 FPS in most areas; build-83 held 60 FPS after the shader cache warmed up. The commenter also reports stutter while new shader pipelines are built.
Problems or notes: Reported that the game slows when booting; the reporter restarted the emulator and game and changed settings, but did not state a resolution.
Problems or notes: The release says the perf9 build was tested successfully in Ocarina of Time, but provides no gameplay duration or specific tested hardware.
Problems or notes: Outdoor areas have excessive fog and glow, performance is about 12–22 fps, and three rare shaders remain unsupported.
Problems or notes: On the reported Windows 11 setup, the intro freezes at 0 FPS while two compute pipelines compile, taking 6 and 18 minutes. After compilation and caching, the intro proceeds; reported scenes run at about 33 FPS. Disabling optimization builds the pipelines faster but reported scenes run at about 25 FPS. Rejecting the two shader hashes makes the intro play at 60 FPS but leaves parts of the picture black.
Problems or notes: A user comment reports that with three shaders built unoptimized, the intro plays and the game reaches Kokiri Forest, with cutscenes at about 25 to 27 FPS. With `EDEN_NX2_NOOPT_SHADERS=all`, it ran at about 16 to 17 FPS. With asynchronous shader compilation on, this build showed a black screen with audio or stayed at “Loading Shaders” at 0 FPS; the user had not waited long enough to determine whether it would finish.
Problems or notes: User reports gameplay at 28–35 fps with 31–36 ms frame time and no saturated thread. The PGO artifact crashes in dynarmic with Unhandled SIGSEGV after 2–10 minutes on this machine; a local non-PGO build was stable over several sessions.
Problems or notes: A commenter reports approximately 3 minutes of gameplay before a black screen, driver crash, and crash to desktop.
Problems or notes: Gameplay testing in Kokiri Forest reported no crashes; normal game speed was below 60 FPS with #216. GPU accuracy was Low.

Problems or notes: The logo, text, and UI are visible, but the 3D environment and background remain black; audio continues. AMD driver timeouts or crashes sometimes occur. The issue persists after updating and rolling back the driver and restarting. The issue author says graphics displayed previously, but the issue appeared afterward.
Problems or notes: Audio plays a different part of the game than the image during the intro; the audio is clean but out of sync by a scene. A follow-up report says the game uses StreamType::Render and that traced sink appends were complete with no samples dropped. Another user reports the same issue with a 7800X3D, RTX 5070, and 32gb DDR5.
Problems or notes: A commenter reports a driver crash and black screen after the intro on the MSVC build. The PGO build reportedly shows only 2D elements such as the logo or menu.
Problems or notes: User reports audio running ahead of video, cutting out and repeating during the opening cutscene, followed by a system freeze at the Deku Tree cutscene requiring a forced shutdown.

Known issues from Lichii sources
Outdoor areas have far too much fog and glow compared with console; performance is about 12–22 fps on a Ryzen 5900X with an RTX 3080, and three rare shaders remain unsupported.
On RTX 50-series GPUs, the GPU device can still be lost after a scene change.
Recorded fix: Try NVIDIA driver 610.88.
Gameplay is capped at about 30 fps, even though the game asks for 60.
On RTX 50-series GPUs (5070 Ti, 5090), the GPU device can be lost shortly after a scene change.
Recorded fix: Try NVIDIA driver 610.88.
Some textures are still black, and the game can crash later in play.
Some races still stall while shaders build.
On macOS arm64 through MoltenVK, the Metal device may be lost or the GPU thread may hang at the intro-video/gameplay boundary. A commenter attributes the device loss to an attachment-less framebuffer reaching 32768×32768, above the stated Apple GPU limit of 16384.
After a local workaround for device loss, a commenter reports that the 3D scene remains black while sound and subtitles work on an older Eglantine fork; current nx2 behavior was not yet checked.
In stages past the first one, the gameplay screen is black while the UI remains visible; pausing shows the world rendered in the background.
User reports a crash when opening the game on Arch Linux with an AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 (9070XT); the console reports a segmentation fault.
User reports audio/video desynchronization during the opening cutscene and a system freeze at the Deku Tree cutscene on Vulkan with an AMD RX 9000 series GPU. Comments report crashes on AMD GPUs, including while building shaders. One commenter reports that OpenGL GLSL stops the crashes but leaves only the UI visible.
On some AMD GPUs, the UI may remain visible while the 3D world is black; reports also describe AMD driver timeouts or crashes.
User reports a performance regression in Build 75 on Linux with an AMD RX 6000 series or older GPU: around 10 FPS on the title screen, barely reaching 15 FPS with constant stuttering, GPU usage at 100%, and RAM usage increasing nonstop.
Only character outlines and UI are visible after launching the game.
User-reported reproducible freeze when walking deeper into the pot room in Hyrule Castle Town, near the guard.
Shrubbery, bushes, and grass turn dead-looking when approached in Hyrule Castle, especially in Zelda's garden. A user reports that it still occurs in build 83.
User reports describe gameplay performance below 60 FPS on multiple systems and builds. One report also describes a black 3D screen in Handheld mode; switching to Docked allowed rendering.
A user report says resolution 2X caused flicker or line artifacts; a separate candidate-build report says the release's overexposure warning was not cleared by its limited test.
The issue reporter using an AMD RX 6600 8GB on Windows 10 reports that the emulator starts loading and then remains on a black screen.
Commenters report rendering failures, black screens, and AMD driver crashes; one reports that audio continues while rendering is crashed.
A half-resolution layer drawn by pixel shader c72b6ea746c00433 causes dark blotches and translucent patches over objects in reported scenes. Users traced the issue to an occlusion-depth copy being wiped by deferred clears before the layer samples it.
Recorded fix: A user-reported workaround is EDEN_NX2_REJECT_HASH=c72b6ea746c00433; it removes the blotches in tested scenes but removes the river's visible water surface. Another user described PR #185 as fixing the ordering issue, but did not provide a tested result for that fix.
The Deku Tree exterior cutscene can render black except for a small area around Navi; a user also reported an AMD graphics-driver crash while building graphics pipelines in that scene.
Users reported missing grass, ferns, and broadleaf vegetation, with associated haze or overexposure in Kokiri Forest. A user reported that a local build with listed rendering commits restored grass and ferns and removed heavy haze in one location; a later comment proposed PR #204 for stale occlusion-query reads, but did not report a test result for that PR.
A user reported river-water flicker depending on sun direction relative to the camera; the proposed link to lighting or light volumes was unconfirmed.
A user reported zero-format texture assertions, Unmapped Device ReadBlock errors, and flickering terrain and subtitles; causation was not established.
On AMD RDNA2 GPUs, the game may freeze during shader or pipeline building, sometimes with background audio continuing. A commenter also reports black-screen or shader-building hangs with asynchronous shader compilation enabled.
On AMD's proprietary Windows driver, two compute pipelines can take 6 to 18 minutes to compile during the intro, leaving the game at 0 FPS while audio continues. Rejecting the shader hashes avoids the wait but causes black areas in the intro, title, and castle scenes.
Recorded fix: Leave the game at the intro for about 20 minutes once so both pipelines finish and are cached; later boots reportedly pass the intro immediately until the driver or Lichii is updated. Alternatively, set `EDEN_NX2_REJECT_HASH=eff3ccbe1438679d,f9ea14a22394f5b1`; this avoids the wait but leaves parts of the picture black.
In the measurement-only experiment, disabling per-fence Preflushable downloads or batching downloads by 64 fences caused overexposure in Kokiri Forest.
A commenter reports that an experimental compute storage write-extent analysis reduced marked GPU-written data and fence copies while preserving correct auto-exposure. It was described as code on a user's branch, not as an upstream or validated release fix.
Static review and a separate research comment describe read-trap bookkeeping and dirty-state issues that can leave stale GPU-written data when per-fence downloads are disabled; proposed corrections and batching remain untested or local experiments.
Slows when booting.
Community comments describe AMD black or corrupted-world output, fragment-pipeline compiler crashes on Windows, later timeouts or TFB stalls, corrupted output, and a RADV depth-image SPIR-V failure. These are separate reported cases; the comments do not establish a universal cause or resolution.
User reports a segfault during gameplay on Linux with an AMD RX 9000-series GPU and RADV, when a graphics pipeline is built for an invalid fragment shader.
On Windows build-83, shutdown can hang at “Closing software…” after gameplay. Some sessions completed shutdown successfully; the cause is undetermined.
A user reports missing textures and buggy visuals after booting, occasional startup crashes, and crashes when playing the Grand Prix race on build-83 with Intel integrated graphics on Windows 11.
Persistent graphics pipeline cache entries are reportedly rebuilt on the GPU thread during gameplay on repeated boots, causing a visible hitch.
With GPU Mode: Accurate (High), gameplay may run in slow motion at about 30 FPS; shader compilation can cause stutter on new content.
Recorded fix: Set GPU Mode to Fast; the commenter reports this resolved the slow gameplay for their setup.
Black screen after boot; some reports say sound and the title/logo work.
On build-83, one user reports a solid-green displayed image although a screen capture shows the game rendering correctly.
On build 83, a user reports device loss at gameplay start with VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST.
User reports GPU driver timeout or device loss when gameplay starts on AMD Windows systems, including RX 7900 XTX and RX 9060 XT. Reports associate the issue with #150 pointer-binding changes, but this is an unconfirmed hypothesis.
PGO artifact crashes in dynarmic with Unhandled SIGSEGV after 2–10 minutes on the reported machine.
After the startup screen, audio plays but the screen is black.
The emulator closes while loading shaders before a game is opened; the report says it used 20GB of RAM. Reports mention Windows 11 and Linux, and AMD GPUs.
User reports the game crashes after about 15 to 20 minutes.
User reports the game blacks out when booted in build 83; they state it worked in build 75.
The emulator crashes after 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay on Linux with an AMD RX 9000 series GPU.
Clean audio from a different point of the game plays while the intro image is displayed; audio and picture are substantially out of sync.
On build-75, user reports over-bright bloom/glow, overly dense fog, incorrect lighting, and some textures decoded as garbage; logs include macro-parameter assertions and an unknown texture format 100.
Textures and surfaces flicker with Low GPU accuracy and EDEN_NX2_SPLIT=2 on Radeon RX 9070 XT; some surfaces remain white temporarily.
Outdoor haze is very strong, and the river surface can appear dark or black.
A commenter reports being unable to load a save, with the PC hard-locking or freezing before recovering after a driver crash or timeout; same GPU, 32GB RAM, and i7 9700K.
On Windows builds 70 and 75, terrain/world renders solid white while the HUD and characters still render. On build 75, EDEN_NX2_RESETFIX=0 changes the ground to black with no texture or lighting.
The emulator force quits after being stuck on the "Loading Shaders" screen for about 2 seconds.
The 3D gameplay scene can appear black while the HUD remains visible.
Recorded fix: Switch to Docked mode; one commenter reported this resolved the black screen. Other reports say this workaround did not help.
A commenter reported stuttering, FPS drops, and overexposure after switching to Docked mode.
A commenter reported flickering shadows and trees with no leaves.
A commenter reported audio playing ahead of the video during the intro.

Very low FPS and graphics problems, including missing textures, lighting or ambient occlusion issues, and a blown-out white image.
With use_disk_shader_cache = true, subsequent boots hang indefinitely at Loading Shaders 25 / 27.
Recorded fix: Delete cache/shader/0400486024dec000 and set use_disk_shader_cache = false; the reporter says this resolves the startup freeze.
Black screen after the intro on AMD RX 9070 XT; the game's 1080p upscaler shader is rejected.
Recorded fix: Comment reports that #112 fixes the shader rejection; its CI build is fix/oot-upscaler-gathers / 7459f10 (build-80), and the fix is on nx2, but not in a release yet.
On AMD, the world is black except around Navi and Link; an RX 6800 XT reporter says the workaround still leaves all 3D geometry black.
Recorded fix: Comment reports that #127 fixes AMD-only demote reordering. Before it is merged, setting EDEN_NX2_REJECT_HASH=e40561a7a0f7a0b3 in %APPDATA%\eden\nx2_switches.txt makes the world visible on the RX 9070 XT report; another reporter says it does not resolve 3D rendering on the RX 6800 XT.
Texture flicker with Low GPU accuracy and GPU thread split on AMD RX 9070 XT.
Handheld mode is reported as much brighter and blurrier than Docked mode.
User reports heavily distorted speech, music, and effects (“robot voice”) on build 70. Comments clarify that the approximately 0.7032 accepted/copied ratio reflects retries rather than lost samples; possible causes discussed include emulated time running ahead of wall time or slow host audio draining, but the cause is not confirmed.
On Linux with AMD/RADV, AV1 intro cutscene video renders solid green while audio and subtitles work.
On Windows 10 with AMD, the intro AV1 cutscene shows a black video layer with working audio and subtitles, then the emulator hangs indefinitely.
