Hi,

I tested all new versions including 0.10.0 and 0.11.0 with a 19.0.1 firmware and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but am unable to achieve a stable configuration. Citron crashes. A lot! Which is not the case with Citron 0.6.1 before the rewrite.

I like the features and performance improvements of the latest Citron version, but not at the price of stability.

Perhaps it is only me running the stuff on Windows 11 and older RTX 2060 NVIDIA GPU?

This is the latest stable Citron version for me: https://archive.org/download/citron-canary-refresh-0.6.1

Try running firmware / keys 20.5.0. report back. Nothing but rock solid performance on 0.11.0 on my end with this setup.

@kalhamm3r OK, using https://github.com/Zephyron-Dev/Citron-CI/releases/download/nightly-windows/Citron-windows-nightly-c27533949-x64.zip with 20.5.0 firmware seems stable on a RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X system. Will test on lower end devices and report back if there is a regression.

@kalhamm3r Nope, using https://github.com/Zephyron-Dev/Citron-CI/releases/download/nightly-windows/Citron-windows-nightly-d7a3c585a-x64.zip on a lower end system (Intel i5-1340p and RTX 2060 SUPER) Mario Kart 8 is unplayable.

Note:: The GPU is attached as a eGPU. Other games have no glitches. Different configurations and removing the pipeline cache does not fix the problem. Any ideas on how I can log the problem so that it can be fixed?

When it is not glitching the experience is smooth.
