Device & System Specifications

Device Name: DESKTOP-GQT718M
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor @ 3.40 GHz
RAM: 64.0 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (12 GB)
Storage: 4.79 TB used out of 33.66 TB

Issue Description

I wanted to share a report on how the game runs on my hardware setup. I have noticed a few graphical bugs, performance drops, and missing settings:

1. Graphical & Lighting Bug

Issue: In areas with intense sunlight, characters do not receive any light illumination. They appear dark, as if it were nighttime, creating a huge contrast with the bright environment.

2. Performance & Stuttering

Frame Rate: The game mostly fluctuates between 50 and 60 FPS.
Micro-stuttering: I experience frequent and constant micro-stuttering throughout gameplay.
Specific Freeze: During the Deku Tree introduction scene with Navi, the game constantly freezes in parts/intervals.

3. Missing Settings / Constraints

Language: I am unable to force the game into a different language.
Screen Mode: I cannot set the game to Exclusive Fullscreen mode.

Media & Attachments

Same graphical issues, performance looks good and stutters seems to align to normal shader cache compilation.

Update on testing and performance:
• Language: Text languages can now be changed successfully.
• Performance & FPS: The game no longer suffers from freezing and maintains a steady 60 FPS most of the time.
• Stuttering: There is significantly less stuttering during the Deku Tree introduction scene.
• Lighting bug: The only remaining issue is the lighting bug. I suspect that the intense lighting in those areas might actually be what's causing the lingering stuttering.

Thanks for confirming performance and the language work. The dark characters were fixed in lighting-fix. Closing; reopen with a log from the newest release if anything is still off.

2026-11-10: porting NotRexed/Hookshot@9928d74 (BC images with colour attachment usage, raw BC views sized in blocks, OoT's noise volume pass 53509044401d78d2 no longer skipped) aborts the Metal driver on macOS: SIGABRT in AGX findOrCreateDriverProgramVariant (the attachment load program) from MVKCommandEncoder::beginMetalRenderPass, 2 of 2 forest starts. MoltenVK also refuses colour attachment usage on 2D BC images (-11). Reverted on fix/upstream-mesh-fallback; the pass stays skipped on macOS, so the noise volumes stay zero and the foliage's LOD crossfade is a hard cut (Hookshot #1151). Next: render the noise into an uncompressed volume of its own and sample that.
