I'm facing the same problem after driver update; it doesn't work anymore, and I can only play using OpenGL API, but with terrible performance.

I'm having this issue too and here is my log file after the crash

I'm also having problems with BOTW, I'm not sure if this is the same problem.

My specs:
32gb RAM
Ryzen 7 5700 X3D
RX 6750 XT

Driver Version: 24.20.01.02

What I've tried so far:

Cleaning my shadercache, several times.
Delete my shadercaches on the driver.
Tried Vulkan and Open GL
Tried several different dumps, both EU and US versions of the game, last update and DLC. Including files that used to work fine years ago.
Deleted my settings.
Tried the 2.0 version of Cemu.

My dumps of Twilight Princess HD and WW are working fine.

Here's my log if it helps: https://pastebin.com/5y9FgtGg

Ty!

Had the same problem, managed to fix it by downgrading the drivers to 24.2.1 for the time being.

Same issue, when removing shader cache it manages to reach the main menu but crashes when loading in the game world. After it compiles a few things, the game crashes when loading the compiled shaders before the game even starts. Reverting to the old driver fixes this issue.

Yep. That's exactly what happens here. But I'm not reverting my driver because it's working fine on other things I used, and specially because of AFMF 2 that's being quite useful.

[Joshua-Cyber1]

Does anyone know how to fix it without downgrading drivers? I wish I had seen this before updating my driver.

[UsefulCube]

I'm having the same problems. when booting BOTW i get a screen "Loading cashed vulkan pipelines" at 66\67 it crashes.

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: RX 6750 XT
Driver Ver. 24.8.1

[Joshua-Cyber1]

i downgraded my driver and it runs smoothly, I think ill just wait for another driver update

[aleserrags]

@Joshua-Cyber1 Which version?

[daniloberserk]

Tested the new preview driver, 24.20.11.01.

Still has the issue.

[8trius]

CEMU 2.2 and AMD Adrenalin 24.8.1 with Vulkan on a Ryzen 5 5600x and AMD RX 6750xt.

BOTW never gets past loading a save file, if it even gets to the title screen.

Downgrading to AMD Adrenalin 24.7.1 fixed issue. That was the only change I made.

[Joshua-Cyber1]

@Joshua-Cyber1 Which version?

latest driver , version 24.8.1

[hurich23]

any solution? I have the same problem after upgrading from AMD drive version 24.6.1 to 24.7.1 =/

[pkasarski]

Is this a Cemu issue? Or radeon drivers?

[MyokoGFX]

Is this a Cemu issue? Or radeon drivers?
it has to be radeon drivers, because im running a ryzen 9 7900x3d with an rx 7800 xt gpu and before i updated my drivers i was able to run geometry dash. but after i updated it i cant anymore and specifically any games that run opengl or vulkan

[Squall-Leonhart]

quickest way to find out is to build a RelwDbgInfo build and provoke the issue, then load the dump file made with AMD's driver symbols attached.

[gustavopr662]

i've updated my driver to 24.9.1 but CEMU 2.2 is crashing both in Vulkan and OpenGL on Zelda BOTW, im running in a rx 6650 xt + ryzen 5 7500F, in previous version (24.8.1) I could play using OpenGL but having some annoying shaders compiling.

[eyetac]

I wonder if Nintendo have sent AMD a cease-and-desist type of thing and AMD have nerfed the drivers to not work properly anymore.
I mean, it wouldn't surprise me.

[Joshua-Cyber1]

anyone else who updated their drivers to the latest version? 24.9.1
I'm still in 24.6.1.

24.9.1 is still broken for me.

[gustavopr662]

I have solved my problem installing PRO drivers and reinstalling CEMU 2.2, Im not sure if just reistalling it will work for you because I tested the PRO drivers first.

Thats what I did:

1. Uninstall the 24.9.1 driver using Display Driver Uninstall (DDU) (WARNING: RECOMEND FOLLOW SOME TUTORIAL TO USE THIS);
2. Install the PRO driver (for some reason the driver that I found on AMD site is the 2022 one (22.Q4), but there is a version of this year (24.Q2), I suggest you to find this version);
3. Update your Chipset drivers too, in my case its a B650, so you just need to take your version in AMD site;
4. Reinstall CEMU 2.2, backup your Save files (C:\Users%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Cemu\mlc01\usr\save), and erase the mlc01 folder
5. Download again the CEMU 2.2 and setup it (probably your game will stay there with no need of reinstallation, that was my case, I just needed to put the games folder again);
6. Restore your save folder;
7. Enable the graphic packs that you want and execute your game.

I suggest trying to just reinstall the CEMU 2.2 first, but if the problem persists the choice is yours if you will try to install the PRO drivers or not, hope this help someone, and sorry if my english looks bad, its not my native language and I dont usually write that much.

Guys I somehow managed to fix it This might help AMD users: Open Device Manager, find your GPU, right-click, and select Properties. Go to the Drivers tab and click on Roll Back Driver if it's available. Botw was crashing over and over until I did that. Give it a try, and I hope it works for you too Vulkan still crashes, but OpenGL works fine for now. So make sure to select OpenGL in both the BotW game profile and the General Settings.

[eyetac]

@gustavopr662 I tried the Pro drivers, and indeed, they do work, but performance wasn't amazing, 24.7.1 is quite a bit better in both games and production workloads, so that is the recommended fix for now.

@Kermandiir rather just remove the current drivers and use the 24.7.1 drivers with vulkan. OpenGL performance is not near as good as Vulkan.

[AlfredoDore]

I'm trying to play CEMU after about three years to see how much it has improved, but now all the games simply close when starting (with the ones I tested only Snoop is working) and my PC is AMD and this problem is occurring, maybe it's the same
My PC: Radeon RX 580 4GB, Ryzen 7 2700x, 16 GB ram

[P1kach33ks]

Yea, I've been having the same issue. I wanted to try using the new AFMF 2 for botw but i guess i can't :/

[bartexpolska]

as for 24.10.1 it still dont work

Potentially the same as gfx-rs/wgpu#6329.
