Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
ゼルダ無双 厄災の黙示録 · ZELDA無雙 災厄啟示錄
- Perfect: No noticeable issues start to finish
- Playable: Can be finished; minor glitches or slowdowns
- In-game: Gets in-game, but issues get in the way
- Menus: Reaches the title screen or menus only
- Boots: Starts, then hangs on a black screen or intro
- Nothing: Does not start
Yes, mainly on PC: Citron lists it as Playable, and Ryubing as In-game (graphics issues, possible hangs, slow, crashes). The yuzu archive warns that the frame rate must be capped below 29fps or it won't continue past the opening cinematic (old advice; whether current forks still need it is unconfirmed); old Ryujinx reports say it became playable on Apple Silicon Macs from February 2024, and AMD GPUs showed flickering black dots in menus and gameplay. No public iPhone/iPad or Android tests were found.
Settings & known issues
- Stuck after the opening cinematic? Cap fps below 29 with an external tool (yuzu-era advice, may be outdated).
- AMD GPUs showed flickering black dots in menus and gameplay (particle rendering bug, old Ryujinx report).
