GFX corruption when inspecting items Ryujinx_1.1.1117_2024-01-21_20-14-11.log

[NineKain]

checkerboard pattern on second game, more noticeable at higher resolutions

[NineKain]

for some reason, opening the in game camera (with ZL) fixes it

There's some weird texture corruption that pops up randomly, and so far stays for the rest of the session- I haven't tried to check if using the camera would reset them, though.

Game version: Japanese, 1.0.0 (note that in case the western version works worse somehow, you can switch to English voices and text in the Japanese version)

Ryujinx version: 1.1.1316 (after finishing the game updated to the current 1.1.1332 and checked, seems to work the same) Settings: Backend: OpenGL (Vulkan worked the same, just a bit slower) Resolution: docked, 2x Anti-Aliasing: SMAA Ultra VSync: off, for 60fps (if it matters, VSync is always on in my settings, I always turn it off manually after launching the game by clicking VSync in the bottom left of the window) Rest: default

Specs: Intel Core i7 8700, 3.2GHz x6 Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 16GB RAM Windows 10 Pro, 22H2

I finished the whole game, or rather both games, and tested them quite thoroughly. Full report below. Note that some puzzles require motion controls. I managed to do them with my phone, through an app called MotionSource. If you have a controller with gyro, it should work too, of course.

Here's the list of all bugs I encountered and fixes for them:

1. Random crashes (Ryujinx just suddenly closes as if you killed the process) every 20-60 minutes. Happened even if I just left the game running without actually playing. I had those crashes only with Scaling Filter set to FSR. After switching back to Bilinear, they never happened again, even if the game was running for over 6 hours. Fix: set Scaling Filter to Bilinear.
2. Flickering interaction prompts. This is a minor issue and it only happens if you unlock FPS and if the interaction prompt is far from the camera and/or off-center. See the webm below. Fix: turn on VSync / remove the 60fps/unlock fps mod.
3. During cutscenes when a character walks and stops, they keep walking in place for a moment after stopping. This also happens only if you unlock FPS. Fix: turn on VSync / remove the 60fps/fps unlock mod.
4. Already mentioned by NineKain "GFX corruption when inspecting items". This only happens with higher resolutions and under certain conditions that I couldn't discover. It seems to depend on the map you're on, but not on the item you inspect. See pictures below. Fix: use the native resolution.

Summary: Other than these, I haven't encountered any more bugs. The texture corruption mentioned by NineKain and perogee never happened even once. All sounds, voices and music present, no missing textures, models or animations, no artifacts. Hence, unless I missed something, the game is 100% playable exactly as on the Switch, as long as you use the default settings, especially native resolution, VSync on (30fps) and Scaling Filter: Bilinear. I still played through the whole game with 2x resolution and 60fps, because the bugs they introduce are minor and didn't bother me at all. And the game looks much better.
