Yes, with most reports coming from Android. Ryubing lists it as In-game (graphics issues, AMD-specific problems); the original Ryujinx ran it at full speed with no major issues on Linux with a Ryzen 5 5600G + RX 6600. On Android, Eden runs a near-flawless 30fps (the game's target) on Snapdragon 865 or newer, about 25fps in towns; on Mac, a 2023 video called it perfectly playable on a MacBook Air M1, but a September 2024 comment reported pitch-black interiors on an M1. On iPhone 17, nxnative (a native port tool, not an emulator) has a 30fps report, though newer builds from early November crash to the home screen at the end of Hikari's chapter 1 boss fight while an older build works; recent PC reports with frame rates are lacking.
Settings & known issues
- If it crashes on launch, turn off ignore missing services, rebuild PPTC, and clear both caches if needed (Ryubing docs).
- On Android, set accuracy to High if shadows look too dark (user report).
- Kenji-NX on Android has crash-on-load reports; prefer Eden.
