• Release note: Fairy-light flickering and flashing white sky, reported in Sacred Grove and other locations; may occur randomly without clear reproduction steps.
• Release note: The underground fairy fountain has no environment.
• Release note: Black screen when starting in build 95 on Linux; a commenter reports black screen with music. The commenter says build 93 loads normally on their system.
• Release note: Graphics fail to load in the Water Temple; a commenter describes the area as unplayable.
• Release note: Many Water Temple rooms are invisible, with transparent walls. A comment attributes this to a damaged texture file in the game dump; another user reports the issue was resolved by making a fresh dump with a NUP with a higher file size.
• Release note: The user reports performance remaining at 20 FPS with music glitches on macOS.
• Release note: A user reports that in build 93 the controller periodically takes over and moves the character into a wall, roughly every 30 seconds.
• Release note: The user reports shader-cache compilation problems, stuttering, Hyrule Field visual bugs and frame-rate instability, and occasional cinematic cutscene audio bugs. A commenter reports that the shader pipeline cache does not persist across runs and that cutscene music is missing or mismatched.
• Release note: The stone tablet does not render in the Lost Woods to Zora River area, although grass particles render on it.
• Release note: Freezes while building shaders and does not start; the start menu theme sometimes starts and stops after about 10 seconds.
• Release note: The game loads and music plays, but the screen stays black.
• Release note: The fairy fountain grotto's walls and other parts are invisible in underground areas with red health fairies. A commenter reported that a damaged NUP game-data file was the cause.
• Release note: White sky in Hyrule, reported with an AMD RX 9000 series GPU.
• Release note: Selecting a microphone input and playing an ocarina note causes emulation to freeze.
• Release note: A user reports that games do not work on a Lenovo Legion Go 2 Z2 with an eGPU 7600xt on Version 95; on Version 93 or earlier, they can see the scene.
• Release note: The Fairy Fountain in the Lost Woods does not render. A comment attributes this to a damaged game-data file, not an emulator rendering bug.
• Release note: Walls and objects are missing/not rendered inside the Deku tree.
• Release note: Plants and bushes in the Castle appear dead up close, while bushes render correctly at a distance.
• Release note: User reports a GPU and emulator crash with VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST within seconds of starting Green Hat Kid on Linux using an AMD RX 9000 series card with Build 93.
• Release note: The Skateboarding sport's Sightseeing Tour requires a Joy-Con 2 controller, but the Controller Applet has no Joy-Con 2 option, making it impossible to play.
• Release note: The game reportedly runs at 10 FPS on the menu and shows a black screen after the cutscene on Intel Arc.

• Release note: User reports a crash at the first cutscene and emulator shutdown after compiling existing shaders on reboot.
• Release note: Much of Gerudo does not render correctly, appearing like the skybox; resetting shaders reportedly changes it to physical forms and shapes with skybox textures.
• Release note: A user reports that the linux-aarch64 PGO AppImage fails ZBIC NSO decompression for a game whose NSOs use ZBIC, leaving it stuck without presenting a frame; the same-commit non-PGO AppImage does not show the decompression assertions.
• Release note: Deku has black textures on some parts during the cinematic, with stuttering, bloom and artifacts when jumping. Dynamic FPS makes the game run too fast (about 2x speed); without it, gameplay is almost in slow motion.
• Release note: Black rendering after starting a new game, with audio and UI visible; user comments also report black screens on a PGO build.
• Release note: An AMD Linux report describes GPU/display blackout and VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST on entering gameplay without EDEN_NX2_NO_MESH=1; the user reports at least five minutes of gameplay with the option enabled.

• Release note: White streaks or trails at night, including around Navi, fireflies, and smoke.
• Release note: With DLSS on, Navi, fireflies, and smoke can leave trails at night. A fix is being tested.
• Release note: AMD Radeon RX 6000 series and older on Windows crash while building shaders after boot. The release says this is fixed in build 117; RX 7000/9000 and NVIDIA are not affected.
• Release note: AMD black foliage and haze.
• Release note: HUD flicker.
• Release note: Cutscene audio drift.
• Release note: First-launch shader stall on Linux.
• Release note: An NVIDIA device-lost crash was reported on build 93; the release says it is awaiting retest on this build.
• Release note: 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.
• Release note: On build 117, users report severe stuttering and low or variable FPS while shaders are building; comments also describe shader rebuilding when revisiting areas.
• Release note: The suggested setting “switch 2 draws with unbuilt pipelines to skip” reportedly reduced stuttering, but introduced graphical and lighting issues.
• Release note: A user reports that shader-cache rebuilding may contribute to stuttering and that deleting the cache and letting it rebuild helped, though performance was still slower than build 93.
• Release note: A user reports approximately 23–25 FPS in Kokiri Forest on Fritchii v4, with CPU and GPU not saturated.
• Release note: Foliage, leaves, walls, doors, and other geometry can be missing on GPUs without VK_EXT_mesh_shader because task/mesh shader draws are skipped.
• Release note: A draft compute-based task/mesh shader fallback rendered some foliage on GTX 1070 but produced flickering geometry and still missed canopies, grass, and house walls.
• Release note: On Linux with NVIDIA GPUs, gameplay can lead to a GPU hang after roughly five minutes. Reports include Xid 109 CTX SWITCH TIMEOUT or a GPU stuck at 100% utilization without an Xid.
• Release note: On the reported NVIDIA systems using driver 581.29, the game crashes with Vulkan device loss during shader and pipeline compilation after the intro cinematic; reports include repeated Unmapped Device ReadBlock errors and Windows nvlddmkm Event ID 153.
• Release note: Day-only garbage graphics in the Bombchu Bowling Alley: stones and ovens flash pink, yellow, red, or black, and the sign displays garbage, noise, and fragments of another image. It looks correct at night after leaving and returning, and was still present in build-117.
• Release note: After outdoor play, the sky becomes flat yellow-white and water shimmers green until reboot, due to NaNs spreading through bloom. The report says the NaNs probably originate from fog/foliage probe reads beyond the 64 MiB graphics table-pointer cap.
• Release note: Foliage and vegetation near the player may turn into dead-looking variants or lose leaves up close, including hedges and plants in Hyrule Castle; reports also mention trees, Kokiri Forest bushes, Castle Town hedges, and Hyrule Field grass. One user describes the behavior as an inverted LOD.
• Release note: On macOS/MoltenVK with an Apple M1, the Switch 2 NSO version boots and plays audio but presents a black image from startup, with approximately 1 FPS and occasional red/green block artifacts.
• Release note: On AMD GPUs, Ocarina of Time's compute shaders can fail compilation with VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY or cause the AMD driver to crash. The issue report describes missing intro video and an eventual process crash; a later user reports an access violation inside amdvlk64.dll.
• Release note: OpenGL is reported not to work for this game because GLSL task and mesh programs are not implemented, resulting in repeated errors and an emulator hang.
• Release note: Rejecting shader hashes before translation skips their dispatches and can result in missing output or a black screen; a user reports the environment switch did not affect the tested Vulkan compute-pipeline path.
• Release note: Performance slows in crowded or busy areas, with front/back GPU-thread synchronization drains and waits; short freezes while attacking are also reported.
• Release note: Shader compilation can cause freezes of about 3 seconds with each step, according to a user report.
• Release note: On integrated AMD graphics, device-memory thresholds can keep the texture cache collector in aggressive mode even though deleting all images cannot reduce total usage below the threshold. This causes extensive image churn and GPU waits during gameplay.
• Release note: Severe performance, around 8 FPS (approximately 123 ms frame time), on macOS with Apple M5 using Vulkan / MoltenVK at 1x resolution; the report also says MoltenVK fallback warnings occur. A commenter reports the same issue on Mac M4.
• Release note: On build 117, the game shows a black screen while background music plays and does not load, reported with an AMD RX 6000 series or older GPU on Windows 11.
• Release note: A commenter reports white flashes or missing textures on Windows 11 with some RTX and AMD graphics cards, and another reports missing textures in the Deku Tree after loading a save.
• Release note: On the reported Radeon 890M system, the game freezes during early Kokiri Forest gameplay, accompanied by Unmapped Device ReadBlock errors; a later report on build 117 also describes pipeline-building stalls and a hard freeze.
• Release note: On Linux using a Steam Deck, the reporter describes a main-menu performance regression in build 117, from 60 FPS with some drops on the prior legacy build to 10 FPS, with audio out of sync. The non-PGO version reportedly had the same problem.
• Release note: Shader stutter and multi-second freezes while shaders are being built, including during first visits.
• Release note: Gameplay performance is CPU-bound on the reported Ryzen 7 2700X; resolution scale changes and switching to Handheld did not improve performance.
• Release note: User reports random freezes after 5–15 minutes of play on Linux with an AMD RX 6000 series or older GPU, followed by I/O spikes up to 6GB/s, rising RAM use, and an out-of-memory emulator crash.
• Release note: Crashes during play with VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY on 8 GB AMD GPUs; reports describe unhandled Vulkan exceptions.
• Release note: A user reports a reproducible crash to desktop within a few seconds of entering the Guardhouse in Hyrule Castle Town.
• Release note: The game freezes or crashes in the Hyrule Castle Town guard house when moving deeper into the room, talking to the guard, or looking toward the windowed wall while panning the camera.
• Release note: On Frizti v3, performance in the guard house remains low after the freeze is addressed, with about 20 fps reported as the floor after additional texture-cache changes.
• Release note: A user reports performance of up to 6 FPS and a crash at Kokiri Tree after removing the pipeline cache.
• Release note: With Switch 2 draws with unbuilt pipelines set to Bounded and an 8 ms wait, the image washed out to white and orange and parts of the scene rendered as large flat polygons while pipelines were building.
• Release note: With a Steam Controller (2026) connected through its wireless dongle, motion mapping via Configure → Controls does not detect shaking, and gyro/accelerometer input stops after the controller reconnects or after a few seconds with Steam running.
• Release note: On an AYN Thor with Adreno 740 and Turnip, large native compute shaders cause pipeline compilation to consume substantial memory and pin Vulkan pipeline-builder threads; reports include black output, GPU device loss, or out-of-memory termination.
