Dumping BotW as we speak. Hope to get into tweaking settings tonight. Impressions so far are looking good! Once I've got it up and running I'll decide if I want to play through it now or wait for performance improvements.

The rate at which this is progressing almost makes me feel bad about starting this on the Switch. I think I'll finish it off on the Switch and maybe jump ship to Cemu when the DLC drops.

What is it with movement in this game that's tanking the framerate? It seems like when Link stands still, the framerate can jump up to 10 fps more. I know that sounds weird, but try it.

running here at 30fps (6700k/16gb/1080), however the videos are glitchy for me, audio and subs work, but no animation at all, just green ñish vertical bars. is there a fix for this?
Yes, I faced the same issue but managed to fix it, just delete your existing cache for botw and download a new transferable one again. that should do it.

Make sure you edit the correct .ini file, I did the US one by mistake and didn't realise they were for different regions, went from 15 (incorrect ini tweak) to 30 and that is without the inbuilt speed hack.
For some reason the GPU buffer cache accuracy was set to High. Changing it to Medium fixed it.
Thanks for the help, guys.

I'm not sure why I can see aliasing on the floor still mind, you'd think that running it at 5K would sort that out.
I'm forcing FXAA through drivers.

I'll have a look at that.

It's fantastic to see such a fast progress with BotW but no one is checking Xenoblade or Bayo 2
i tried bayo 2 on 1.7.3d and its still a no go for me
framerate is 60 fps but drops fairly often/not stable, and the audio crackling is unbearable (i've already cranked down the volume in cemu to 20%, no difference)

I agree. It would be a real shame if all of the effort gone into this emulator was entirely focused on Breath of the Wild, rather than improvements to Wii U emulation in general.
I mean considering the amount of money being generated by the Patreon. I'd think serious progress being done that made leaps and bounds to BoTW improvements would also translate over to other Wii U games.
I don't want CEMU to become good at running one game well at the cost of other games being left behind.
I'm sure things will work out well though for stuff like Smash 4 and Bayonetta and other games that have problems running. It's a matter of time I suppose.

I'll record videos of Xenoblade and Bayonetta 2...
Thank you! Most curious about the audio issues in Bayo2 <3

Even if you throw Breath of the Wild entirely out of the equation, the amount of progress this update is still incredibly significant. Between multithreaded shader compilation to being able to reassign texture formats, all this says to me is that people aren't actually familiar with the typical speed of emulation development at all. I don't think I've ever seen so many simultaneous conspiracy theories of it being shady that progress is so fast and so slow at the exact same time.

Even if they're prioritising BotW, their patreon being 30k a month means those games are getting more attention than they would without the demand for better Zelda emulation.
From what I've heard, this emulator is developing at a really fast rate. a rising tide raises all ships; I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Yeah, it's happening a little more often now. I only noticed it once or twice back in 1.7.3d and earlier.

Depends on your hardware but I'm already getting mostly better than Wii U performance (obviously still have bugs and glitches).

I only have 16Gb of ram which it seems to chew through when precompiling the shaders. Anybody else have this problem?

Just tried Bayo 2 on 174b, and it still has horrible flicker
It's a Bug in the NVIDIA driver (if you're using a NV card). Exzap has already reported it, perhaps it will get fixed at some point.

Emulation isn't "get game A working at the cost of game B"... The end goal is to emulate the system accurately, and any work to make game A work will benefit the system as a whole (minor temporary regressions aside)

That's not necessarily true. Quite a few N64, PS1, Super Nintendo, and NES emus prove this assertion false. It wouldn't be until the late 2000s that we had a truly accurate snes emulator because too many emulators had focused on just making commercial games work rather than caring about accuracy.
Without being able to see the source code, it's hard to know if the CEMU team are using workarounds to get Zelda working or actually improving the accuracy of the emulator.
IIRC you can right click and move your mouse around, doing so will let you control the gyro function

It crashes on me precompliling 19000 shader cache. I get to 15000

Question -
So the TextureOverride:
is necessary for increasing shadow resolution, but breaks the lighting, causing this weird kind of bloom offset in the top left corner:
so I've tried narrowing down the effect of the override based on texture format, but even though I've tried excluding every format between 0x000 through 0xfff, I'm still affecting whatever texture format is responsible for the shadows and the lighting. anyone have any ideas?

1.7.4c is up now. Fixes some crash bugs.
They are quite honest, that's for sure. If they would want to make a good buck for their work they would have slowed down much more but instead delivered a very essential update with 1.7.4.
I'm quite sure their donations will go down once BotW is emulated close to perfect.

Man, this emulator. It looks like by the time I finish Persona 5 I'll be able to play BotW with no caveats. Fantastic work.
1.7.4c is up now. Fixes some crash bugs.
Light Souls?
Was fooling around with the old 1.7.3d and sinking into the ground etc. But I hang-glided onto some giant ogre and started stealing his shit while he was sleeping. That's nice. That's a new Zelda moment for me.

They really nailed the grass in it not looking odd that it doesn't cast shadow even though so much other stuff does

I was thinking .. "this look decent" with the sound effects ...
and then witch time happenned.
Just restart, the already compiled cache will go quick and then pick-up where you left off (ie crashed).
Crashed 3 times for me, think the multi-threading could be bugged, and sometimes crashes.
Edit:
Have 32GB, so memory is not the issue, at-least not for me.
