BOTW MEGATHREAD V3 - 1.7.5

#Game Status: Playable on most PCs (1.7.5) It's not quite perfect and there are quite a few bugs that need to be worked out but all of the runes seem to be working on most systems.

#Please read this and search the comments before posting. I get tons of comments on this every day. I try to answer all of them but many of them are the same question. Try loading all of the comments and using ctrl+f to find what you need :)

Check out the old thread if you are still having trouble

You can also check out the Discord for help

I have reorganized this many times. If there is something that you think I should add, tell me. :)

##Post your crash logs on discord

Do not update to BOTW 1.2.0 (v80)

###I recently updated this. If I promised you I would add something and you can't find it here, please message me again. I had a long week at work and am sorry :)

##Noticeable Fixes:

• Changelog - an interesting note: "Modifying the 'accurateShaderMul' game profile option now invalidates precompiled shaders" This is in the .ini file. Check out the changelog for more deatils. According to people on discord: "accurateShaderMul = min" can help with RAM usage and improve performance, BUT at the expense of graphics glitches" thanks u/ralstig.

• FPS is generally better.

• Fewer softlocks and crashes

• Camera bugs should be fixed

• Ai should be fixed (Horses jumping at the right time, animals acting normal, etc...)

• Textures should be better on Nvidia cards

• Shrines and Eventide Island shouldn't softlock

---

##MAIN THREADS FOR SETUP AND FIXES

• ###An excellent setup guide

• Game Profile settings --- don't use the fence skip setting though if you have it activated in cemuhook. This also has the softlock fix in it

• Setup Guide --- This link also goes over where to put your DLC instead of overwriting it

• Changing Settings -- Some settings that helped in 1.7.3d that might help now

• Get Graphics Packs Here -- select a category

• Increasing FPS Shader Fix -- RAMDISK

• Using a mouse redone and easier to install

• CPU hyperthreading trick to boost FPS

• Save Files with lots of cool stuff! --- This is the post and if you go to this comment he shares the file link to the saves. It include full hearts, full stamina, the best armor, and the master sword!

• Nvidia Control Panel settings that help

• If you are looking for save games (for any WiiU game and BOTW), go to this link and search for it. There are some great game saves on here

• #Awesome thread about increasing FPS

• Fix flickering and other minor graphic glitches

• A smaller shader cache might be better for performance

• Changing GPU accuracy seems to decrease some visual bugs

• BOTW 1.1.2 is available. If you end up updating, make sure you put the dlc inside of the cemu the correct way instead of replacing the files. 1.1.2 seems to have some issues and this seems to solve it. Thanks to u/ralstig for the help! Check this link out if you are confused by what I mean

• Fix Crashing! Reports say it works for AMD and Nvidia

• Shader caches should not be bigger than 9k or 10k. If you have one bigger than that, it is likely using shaders from other games, which is unnecessary.

• Rivatuner might be causing issues in 1.7.5

• Breath of the Wow, an Inventory Helper: A program that allows you change the weapon durability, give yourself items, infinite stamina, and much more!

• Yellow / White / intro scene getting stuck is a huge issue. This is due to the dlc not being updated correctly. Thank you to u/Dani_Ranbow for figuring this out. You need to update dlc correctly! Look at the sidebar or follow the setup guide!

• Black picture fixer thanks u/_rysel

##Cemu Hook (cemuhook)

The current status of Cemuhook, a program that could allow you to watch cutscenes and toggle some performance settings.

###Works. Use the most recent version with Cemu 1.7.4d

• Here is thread about it

• A Cemuhook fix

---

##Cheat Engine Fixes and posts

There is a lot of speculation on what you should do with cheat engine. You won't really know until you try.

I decided this needed its own section.

Here are all of those posts:

• FPS Speed Hack using Cheat Engine

• Also, read this PSA about using it. Do it at 2.3x and it might improve performance

• A script that uses cheatengine to potentially increase and stabilize performace.

• Also using Cheatengine correctly for optimization

• Talking about writing a script and ideas

##Shrines:

You should be able to complete most of them now. Some have trouble with gyro control.

Your game might crash when going to a shrine. There is no fix yet except for trying over and over again.

• Toto Sah Shrine - You cannot use z-axis motion control. According to u/andrzej_szpadel - "you can complete Toto Sah shrine by tilting it about 30 degrees vertically and then surf jump from end. works for me every time." -> Here is a vid ------------------------ You can also follow this cool guide! thanks u/CrimzonGryphon

• Joloo Nah shrine, north/northwest of Wasteland tower also requires gyro controls and might not be possible (4 sided fan). This person did it though

• Kah Okeo Shrine, in the Southwest of Tabantha frontier, might crash every time you try to blow up the walls.

• Myahm Agana - Check out this vid for a way around the controls

##Known Bugs (1.7.5): This list is carried over from 1.7.4, so tell me what I need to change.

• Cutscenes technically don't work yet without the cemuhook

• Amiibos don't fully function, check this list out you can also add them using this save game editor. The editor is a little glitchy, so back up your save folder somewhere else. You might need to replace all of the game_sav files in each of the folders.

• Monsters render weird when at a distance

• Enemies sometimes freeze

• Some people still having the same bugs from 1.7.3d ( sinking into the ground, no grass, runes not working, etc...). It is caused by using version 1.1.1+ of BOTW. This can be fixed by correctly using DLC. It needs to go inside of the cemu folder, not replace existing files.

• Game Crashes often - try this fix

• Crashing when going to shrines

• Motion Controls can be used by right clicking on the game.

• You can take pictures (Camera Rune) but they all show up black. Same with Compendium. It still technically works though.

• Memories don't work for some people, they might work for you!

• Many people are lock at 20fps outside of shrines. No real fix yet except maybe using cheatengine or rivatuner :)

• Heat texture in the desert and other places shows up weird - Caused by graphics pack, update your graphics pack.

• Rocks and textures sometimes show up multi-colored (rainbow). This is (likely) caused by cemuhook. Try pulling up the map. If that doesn't work try saving and then loading that save. If that doesn't work then good luck. You'll probably have to restart cemu

• To register horse press "+" or "a" (maybe both) before pressing enter on your keyboard. Also try changing your controller type.

• Shadowy Grass - fix

• AMD Radeon HD (6000 and older and some 7000. pre-GCN HD series GPUs) Series graphics cards render strange shaders. The game is unplayable on those graphics cards Radeon "r" series should be fine. This is what you will see: 1 2 3

• Lava textures show up weird and blocky

• Zora divine beast Vah Ruta has flickering inside. No fix yet.

• Crashing may cause saves to disappear :(

• Water in Gerudo Fortress is glitchy as well.

• Sometimes sounds will play that shouldn't (i.e. water in lava areas, other random sounds when attacking). No fix for this.

• Can't update to BOTW 1.2.0 (v80)

• Sometimes water will show up white or milky. Reload to fix.

• Molduga shows up funny, no fix yet

• Yellow / White / intro scene getting stuck is a huge issue. This is due to the dlc not being updated correctly. Thank you to u/Dani_Ranbow for figuring this out. You need to update dlc correctly! Look at the sidebar or follow the setup guide!

• Some people run into an issue trying to activate the first tower. The ground is gone. No fix yet, might be related to corrupt game files.

##Misc

• A launcher someone made - thanks u/tkashkin

• Mouse and keyboard support

• Black line fix (graphics pack) Black line fix is apparently caused by AF in nvidia control panel settings, turn it off.

• Some people are using rivatuner to fix the fps being too high in shrines.

• How to build a flying machine

• Shader caches should not be bigger than 9k or 10k. If you have one bigger than that, it is likely using shaders from other games, which is unnecessary.

• Bypass Amiibo Day Limit

• Compendium and images fix!

• Nvidia works on the Shader Bug (see link)

• how to get Nvidia Shield controllers and xinput controllers to work with Cemu
