This is not a troll post and I hate nobody. (I know, the title may sound like it is.)
This year I got into Switch emulation for first time and finished Breath of the Wild with 130 hours on Yuzu, with 60 fps patch and higher resolution. Besides some control issues on very specific shrines, most of the time it was a smooth experience. I fully switched to Ryujinx after it and now started playing Tears of the Kingdom. Here are my issues with it after playing for over 10 hours on Ryujinx:
- minor: distracting graphical issues all over the place on ground and walls texture corners, but I can live with that and its more or less depending on the angle and places
- major: sometimes game freezes and crashes randomly on the overworld map
- showstopper: could not progress any longer, on a specific mission where I had to use the camera it just didn’t want to recognize the photo of the statue
I tried different Roms for the game, with and without mods, with and without different patches (1.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1) and different settings on the emulator. Always same problems, nothing could resolve for me. Then I copied my save file to Yuzu and tried the game there. Results after playing game for 6 hours on it:
- very minor: no longer those graphical issues, but light blinking issues when traveling, so much less distracting and less active
- safe: no freezes happen anymore
- progress: instant progress on the place with the photo, I could hear the audio that was missing on Ryujinx, I tried 10 different images on Ryujinx to do exact same photo but it did not work, it only works on Yuzu
My PC System:
- OS: Linux
- GPU: AMD 7600
- CPU: AMD 7700X
Does anyone have similar experience? I searched lot, but could not find any other solution and gave up after days. Again, please this i not a war. I just share my experience. I play Super Mario Wonder on Ryujinx and its a perfect experience so far and want to keep using it as my main Switch emulator. I also like the fact that addons (patches, updates and mods) are not installed on the NAND, but I just point to the place where they are without installing.
I didn’t stick with Ryujinx long enough to suss out all of the issues, but within the first half hour of playing TOTK on it, I encountered texture problems several times. Ultimately performance is why I moved to back to yuzu, and haven’t really had any issues in 70+ hours of playing on it
Did you play other games on Ryujinx as well? I really want to switch, because the better handling of patches (updates, addons, mods) in my opinion. And also, we have to at some point if we want to play newer games I guess, but not sure. Maybe TotK is just an outlier? Many other people seem to be able to play the game well.
Do you have AMD GPU as well? It looks like a problem with AMD.
I would like to know this as well…I’ve always been only a yuzu user but with development being dead I may have to transfer to Ryu
