The Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator received a new update that further improves the emulation of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, fixing an annoying visual issue and introducing a performance improvement of over 50% in certain scenarios.
The latest Early Access version, 3621, addresses the issue which causes missing menu images for weapons. As the issue is caused by Asynchronous Shared Building, the team introduced an option to reset the cache storage in the remove items section that appears when right-clicking on the game in the game list. Doing so will display the image correctly without clearing the shader.
The above fix isn't the only Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom improvement brought by the Yuzu Early Access 3621 version. The new update fixes audio desync and crackling, which can happen under certain conditions, and improves Open GL performance by over 50%, not only in the latest entry in the Zelda series but also in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and other titles.
As it usually is with Early Access releases, the fixes introduced by version 3621 will only make their way into the main build of the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator in the coming days. If you cannot wait, you can get access to all Early Access releases by subscribing to the emulator's Patreon page.
More information on the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator can be found on its official website. The installer for the current latest build of the emulator can also be downloaded from there.
