### **How do I get games?**
|
|
_You are legally required to dump your games from your Nintendo Switch. To do so, please follow our in-depth [Quickstart Guide](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/quickstart/)._
|
|
|
|
### **yuzu starts with the error "Missing Derivation Components"**
|
|
_yuzu requires console keys for the decryption and usage of your games. Please follow our [Quickstart Guide](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/quickstart/) to dump these keys and system files from your Nintendo Switch._
|
|
|
|
### **yuzu starts with the error “VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found”**
|
|
_Current versions of yuzu require the latest versions of Microsoft Visual C++. Please download and install the following dependency:_
|
|
|
|
_https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads_
|
|
|
|
_Go to Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019, and select the link next to x64._
|
|
|
|
### **yuzu starts with the error "Unable to start application: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: “The system cannot find the file specified.” }"**
|
|
|
|
_This problem is usually caused by a false positive of your antivirus software, most commonly by Avast and AVG. These applications will often incorrectly detect yuzu as malicious software and delete the executable as a result._
|
|
|
|
_You can confirm it is a false positive with an online scanner, such as [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com) if you wish._
|
|
|
|
_To fix this, you'll need to either disable or uninstall your antivirus software. Make sure to reboot if you choose to uninstall it._
|
|
|
|
_Afterwards, follow the instructions below for `yuzu will not update further or starts with a Qt platform error` to delete any residual files of the failed installation._
|
|
|
|
### **yuzu will not update further or starts with a Qt platform error**
|
|
* _Close all instances of yuzu and any installer processes you may have running._
|
|
* _Press Win+R, in the opened window type `%localappdata%` and press Enter._
|
|
* _Select the `yuzu` folder and delete it. If it is being used by another process, please double-check that you do not have any yuzu related applications running._
|
|
* _Launch the installer and install yuzu again._
|
|
|
|
### **My game is Lagging and Dropping to Low Framerates**
|
|
|
|
_You are likely experiencing Shader Caching. Shaders are small programs running on a graphic card, responsible for rendering graphics like terrain, explosions, characters, etc. Since a PC cannot directly execute switch shaders, It first has to translate them to a format a PC can understand. This translation process is time-consuming and you'll notice it in two ways:_
|
|
|
|
* _While playing, if yuzu needs to translate a new shader, the game will stutter. Loading into a game for the first time can give long freezes due to the number of shaders. As you keep playing, the amount of stuttering will decrease._
|
|
|
|
* _When launching a game, the shader cache is loaded. To speed up this process there exists an additional "precompiled" cache. This cache may get reset every time you update yuzu or install a new GPU driver. The precompiled cache will then be compiled from scratch, causing a longer load time._
|
|
|
|
_Currently, the Vulkan renderer does not have a disk shader cache. This means that subsequent game loads will require the building of shaders each time._
|
|
|
|
``IMPORTANT: Since the cache stores parts of the game, we don't condone sharing or downloading these, since it is considered piracy``
|
|
|
|
### **How do I use mods?**
|
|
_For a list of useful mods for your favorite games, check our database with [Switch Mods](https://yuzu-emu.org/wiki/switch-mods/)_
|
|
|
|
_To add mods to a specific game, simply right click the game in yuzu's games list, select `Open Mod Data Location` and structure your mod files similar to this example:_
|
|
|
|
_`Mod directory/mod name/romfs`_
|
|
_or_
|
|
_`Mod directory/mod name/exefs`_
|
|
|
|
_An example of a correctly structured mod directory can be seen below_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_The mods provided on our [Switch Mods](https://yuzu-emu.org/wiki/switch-mods/) page are already structured accordingly and only need to be extracted into the mod directory folder as is._
|
|
|
|
_Once added to the correct mod directory, simply right click the game again, select properties and activate the installed mod. The same process can be followed in reverse for de-activating mods_
|
|
|
|
### **How do I uninstall game updates or DLC?**
|
|
_Due to current file system limitations, there is no easy way to uninstall a specific update/DLC._
|
|
|
|
_It is usually easiest to just delete everything and then reinstall any updates and DLC that you need._
|
|
|
|
_Installed updates/DLC are found in `%appdata%\yuzu\nand\user\Contents\registered\`._
|
|
|
|
_To remove them, you will need to delete this `registered` folder._
|
|
|
|
_Remember to reinstall any updates or DLC you need._
|
|
|
|
_Afterwards, go to `Settings > System > Filesystem tab` and click on `Reset Metadata Cache` on the bottom. This will refresh the games list addons column._
|
|
|
|
### **How do I set up my controls?**
|
|
_Set controls to `Custom`, then click on `Configure`._
|
|
|
|
_**For all games other than Pokemon Let's Go set the controls like this:**_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* _Map your controls by clicking on `Configure` next to `Pro Controller`._
|
|
* _Make sure to map your analog sticks by clicking on the `Set analog Stick` button if you are using a controller._
|
|
* _Restart yuzu after you are done for the new settings to take effect_
|
|
|
|
_**For Pokemon Let's Go set your controls like this:**_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* _Map your controls by clicking on `Configure` next to the `Joycons Docked` checkbox._
|
|
* _Make sure `Player 1` is set to `None` as depicted in the screenshot._
|
|
* _Make sure to map your analog sticks by clicking on the `Set analog Stick` button if you are using a controller._
|
|
* _Restart yuzu after you are done for the new settings to take effect_
