CitraVR Known Issues

Tim edited this page Jan 21, 2024 · 2 revisions

Audio

  • Initial Audio Stutter: Audio stutter when content runs for the first time, due to shader loading—a pre-existing issue in Citra.

    • Solution: This is a known behavior in Citra with no current workaround.
  • Periodic Audio Stutter in Certain Titles: Some titles experience periodic audio stutter, possibly accompanied by video issues or black screens.

    • Solution: Performance varies by title. Community guides may provide additional help post-launch.
  • Rare Audio Mute Condition: Audio may be muted after game launch due to a rare race condition.

    • Solution: Turn the display off and then on again to restore audio.

Game Launch 

  • Crash on Subsequent Game Launch

    • Issues:

      • Crashes if “home” (or “logo”) button is pressed on the gamepad.

      • Crashes if Quest prompts for Guardian boundary configuration during game launch.

    • Solution: Relaunch CitraVR as a workaround.

Game Install 

  • CitraVR APK Won't Install "Package Conflict"

    • Uninstall Citra.apk and then re-install CitraVR.apk

Operational Limitations

  • No Error Messages in VR Mode: Error messages are not displayed when in VR mode. Instead, the application hangs or crashes

    • These errors are logged in logcat and can be viewed via adb bugreport
  • 3DS system keyboard replacement is hacky

    • No support for non-english characters.
    • After the keyboard exits, user must additionally press the home/'Meta' key on their right touch controller to dismiss the toolbar. Otherwise, the game will resume, but the the user will be unable to interact with it.
  • No Mii menu: instead of pulling up the Mii selection menu, CitraVR will select the default Mii and return it to the game. Users can override the default, however, by dumping their Mii app and adding the characters manually (CitraVR will currently choose the first user-provided Mii in the filesystem).

  • No 'select' button in this build

    • Solution: Currently, no workaround 
  •  Settings cannot be adjusted, nor games launched from within a game.

    • Solution: To adjust settings or launch a different game, close the current game and restart CitraVR.

Performance/Compatibility

  • Variable Emulation Performance: Emulation performance differs across titles, with some running smoothly and others experiencing stutters or loading issues.

    • Solution: This is an expected issue. Community guides and user experiences may help in navigation post-launch.
