Known Game Issues

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Star Fox

On RTX 50-series GPUs, the GPU device can still be lost after a scene change.

Recorded fix: Try NVIDIA driver 610.88.

Star Fox

Gameplay is capped at about 30 fps, even though the game asks for 60.

Star Fox

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.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (demo)

Some textures are still black, and the game can crash later in play.

Kirby Air Riders

Some races still stall while shaders build.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Hyrule Warriors

In stages past the first one, the gameplay screen is black while the UI remains visible; pausing shows the world rendered in the background.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

On some AMD GPUs, the UI may remain visible while the 3D world is black; reports also describe AMD driver timeouts or crashes.

Mario Kart World

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.

Pokémon Pokopia

Only character outlines and UI are visible after launching the game.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

User-reported reproducible freeze when walking deeper into the pot room in Hyrule Castle Town, near the guard.

green-hat kid adventure

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Commenters report rendering failures, black screens, and AMD driver crashes; one reports that audio continues while rendering is crashed.

Ocarina of Time

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.

Ocarina of Time

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.

Ocarina of Time

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.

Ocarina of Time

A user reported river-water flicker depending on sun direction relative to the camera; the proposed link to lighting or light volumes was unconfirmed.

Ocarina of Time

A user reported zero-format texture assertions, Unmapped Device ReadBlock errors, and flickering terrain and subtitles; causation was not established.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

In the measurement-only experiment, disabling per-fence Preflushable downloads or batching downloads by 64 fences caused overexposure in Kokiri Forest.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Slows when booting.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Persistent graphics pipeline cache entries are reportedly rebuilt on the GPU thread during gameplay on repeated boots, causing a visible hitch.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

Zelda Ocarina of Time

Black screen after boot; some reports say sound and the title/logo work.

Zelda Ocarina of Time

Zelda Ocarine of time

Black screen after starting a new game, with audio continuing; a commenter also reports an FFmpeg error stating there is no decoder for video/av1.

Recorded fix: A commenter reports that using the MSVC build instead of the PGO build worked for them. Other commenters report that shared settings resolved the black screen, and one reports that switching from handheld to docked mode resolved it.

Zelda Ocarine of time

Very low FPS and graphics problems, including missing textures, lighting or ambient occlusion issues, and a blown-out white image.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Texture flicker with Low GPU accuracy and GPU thread split on AMD RX 9070 XT.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Handheld mode is reported as much brighter and blurrier than Docked mode.

Star Fox

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.
