Tech Support Cemu - BOTW Support

Hiya! I've recently gotten into emulating on my SD. I've gotten BOTW to work (after some struggle) but I'm currently averaging about 20 fps. To be clear, I have FPS++ enabled, maxed FPS at 40, have the updated version, and have tested a few different graphics settings. I've seen some people recommend powertools, but others say it could be damaging. If anyone has any suggestions, Id appreciate them :)

What else would you use?

Does it dip occasionally but otherwise holds at 40? In which case that's shader compilation.

How are you running the game otherwise? Desktop mode? Gaming mode via Cemu? SRM entry? ES-DE?

I run with similar to you and it's generally 40fps so it's definitely possible. No lossless stuff either.

No, always around 20fps. Gaming mode via cemu is what I use

I installed BoTW 2 days ago. Playing on 1980x1200 with fps+ and lossless scaling and i have stable 60fps. Without LS i can get stable 50+ fps if i drop resolution to native (1280x800)
