While most GPU drivers do indeed support these extensions, the NVIDIA drivers don’t for Maxwell V1 and older cards. With this change, the game starts to render and the team can focus on finding, documenting, and fixing any other bugs that show up.Ī limitation was quickly found by the community, gl_Layer depends on having driver support for the GL_ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array extension in OpenGL, or the Vulkan equivalent, VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer. One thing is for sure, the graphics have definitely improved (Pokémon Scarlet) You will hear more about this gl_Layer “character” later. Vonchenplus was the first to answer, and identified that this was due the game’s use of gl_Layer, and added support for it in the shader compiler. When the game first released, it didn’t render anything in yuzu at all, which is not good. However, while exposing several issues in yuzu, their corresponding fixes have helped other games in unexpected ways! Low performance, storage related stuttering, and memory leaks being some of them. It doesn’t help that the game has problems running natively on the Switch to begin with. This time with ultra-realistic tree textures, and NPCs walking at 5 FPS.įun new gameplay aside, this release has been quite the challenge for yuzu. Guess who’s backĪdopting some of the new gameplay elements introduced with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet has been unleashed upon the world! Here are links for the desktop and laptop GPUs respectively. Feel free to update to the latest release! Sadly, Maxwell users (900 series and older) will have to remain on version 512.95 to avoid frequent device loss errors when using Vulkan, but for those with GPUs newer than 8 years, there’s no longer a need to stick to old driver versions. From the GT 1010 to the RTX 4090, there are no more driver related graphical issues (it’s only our fault for now… until NVIDIA strikes again), exactly how the cards used to perform with driver version 472.12 all the way back in September 2021. NVIDIA driver version 527.37 finally solves all known driver related regressions on Pascal and newer hardware!Īnd to make it better, it affects all cards actively supported by NVIDIA.


Fasten your seat-belts, here we go! PSA for NVIDIA users (almost a flawless victory)īefore we move on to what everyone wants to hear about (just a new Pokémon game, nothing special 😉), we have very exciting news to announce!

This month is special: a report detailing the uphill battle for the release of new titles in the goliath franchise that is Pokémon, adventures on new architecture lands, and a list of fixes and improvements that were made along the way. As a dear friend likes to say, meowdy yuwu-zers!
