== Known Issues == | == Known Issues == | ||
* | === Brightness is too high === | ||
* Some | *Can be partially fixed by using a graphic pack which reduces the bloom effect, [https://github.com/slashiee/cemu_graphic_packs/releases/ download the latest graphic packs here]. | ||
=== Sound issues === | |||
*Music and voices are too low compared to other sounds. Music volume can be adjusted with this [https://www.reddit.com/r/cemu/comments/6fy4cp/workaround_xenoblade_x_volume_issues_with_cemu/ workaround]. | |||
** If this issue was an emulation error, it has been fixed by Cemu updates. However, I'm leaving the link since it is still useful, as there are no audio setting in-game. | |||
** Voices being overpowered by the comparatively louder music during cut scenes was a common issue in the original game on the Wii U. | |||
=== Softlocks/Crashes === | |||
*When selecting the manual from the in game menu, you will be taken to a FrontierNav background page that is empty. There is no way to get out of this screen other than restarting Cemu. | |||
**The graphics pack "Change Time from eManual" will instead open the change time menu when selecting the manual, preventing a softlock. | |||
**The manual can be viewed online on the official Nintendo website [https://cdn03.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/wii_u_6/xenoblade_chronicles_x/ElectronicManual_WiiU_XenobladeChroniclesX_EN.pdf here]. | |||
*When selecting "Nintendo eShop" from the title screen, Cemu will be stuck on a black screen | |||
*When selecting "Return to title screen", the game may load infinitely. | |||
*When trying to send a friend a request to someone through the game, "Connecting. Please wait..." will be displayed indefinitely. | |||
**Friend functionality works if a friend is added on actual hardware, or through a dumped Friends List applet in Cemu | |||
*When joining an online mission from a recruitment notification, an error may appear. | |||
**This error might be in-game, in which case all is fine. | |||
**However it might also be a Cemu Err-Eula popup, which requires a restart of Cemu. | |||
**Sometimes this just crashes Cemu. | |||
**Sometimes it works fine. | |||
*On some systems, using "Separate GamePad View" causes Cemu to crash approx into 10-15 mins of playthrough, closing this and using only TAB or CTRL-TAB may solve this issue. | |||
*Cemu may occasionally crash during long play sessions. This seems to be completely random. (May be fixed in 1.20.X, May be caused by multi-core) | |||
=== Texture/Graphic bugs === | |||
As of Cemu 1.20.2, all graphics issues are resolved, except: | |||
*Some textures, primarily in NLA and on the foliage in Noctilum, will be corrupted or checkered at a distance. | |||
**For some reason this issue always goes away when you're close enough for the game to load the highest quality versions of textures. Because of this, the "Texture LOD Offset" graphics pack may help with this. | |||
*Light trails on cars and skells can randomly lag behind by a frame, causing small flickering. | |||
*The major flickering issue, mentioned below. | |||
*Occasionally shadows will be rendered significantly differently in a rectangle around the player. This ''might'' happen on actual hardware. | |||
*Occasionally a shadowy overlay appears over some geometry, following the camera. This seems to primarily happen in Noctilum. It tends to disappear when moving a significant distance, and is slight enough go potentially unnoticed. | |||
=== Screen-Wide Flicker === | |||
There is a major issue where the entire screen will flicker with a combination of vertex explosions and corrupted UI elements. The Cemu team has confirmed that they are working on this. | |||
*This seems to only occur on the Vulkan renderer | |||
*This issue is made worse and more common, but not caused by: | |||
**Certain in-game menus and UI elements | |||
**Resolution graphics packs | |||
**60fps Patch graphics pack | |||
*It seems to be caused by some sort of scheduling issue. The appearance of this issue is linked to high CPU performance relative to GPU performance | |||
*It can be reduced or eliminated by: | |||
**Disabling mentioned graphics packs | |||
**Disabling UI elements through the in-game settings, especially the mini-map | |||
**Overclocking your GPU | |||
**Underclocking or otherwise limiting your CPU | |||

This game does not require non-default settings to run properly. | This game does not require non-default settings to run properly. Using Triple-Core Recompiler greatly increases performance and does not seem to cause issues. Optionally, there are [[Tutorial:Graphic pack|graphic packs available]]. As mentioned above, using the Brightness workaround (with the appropriate preset for your GPU) is recommended. Additionally, raising the resolution to 1080p or higher significantly improves the readability of the UI and does not cause issues. | ||
== DLC == | |||
The original Japanese release did not contain the DLC missions and characters. In the worldwide release all the DLC characters were included on disk. If you are using the WW release you don't need to dump the DLC. | |||
For the original Japanese release you might want to skip content\0017, 0018, 0019, and 001a. These are load acceleration data packs for a disc version of the game with the duplicate data. | |||

It currrently does not have multi-core support which makes it limited by CPU power more than many games, and more importantly the audio is unreasonably unbalanced. That being said, the graphics are overall excellent, and I anticipate that the next releases in the coming month or so will fix whatever few graphical issues there are. The largest issue that is the majority of the reason why I currently consider this game not playable is the audio. I have heard others say that even on the Wii U the audio was unbalanced and it was hard to hear people, but I tried listening for it myself on the Wii U and it was just fine. There are serious audio level issues and audio noise that majorly degrades the gaming experience. Both that and the lack of multi-core support made it so I am not willing to play this game right now on Cemu, therefore I think it is safe to deem it not playable for now. }} | |||

The black square pattern in the city mentioned in v1.15.1e is still present. Flashes of something flickering during controlled camera cutscenes. Some uncontrolled cutscenes briefly show nothing as if camera is out of position for a few seconds. Not exactly sure, but certain shiny effects such as the glow around your character when using an aura causes streaks of white across the screen. The same effect is most prevalent when switching to true form Elma, making her completely unusable. A new foilage issue, and again only seen in the city, is a white grass texture that flickers in and out and elongates up and down.}} | |||

Update: After further playing, I have come across some more visual issues. These are unrelated to the 60fps patch, as I generally play without it. First, certain character models when playing in online mode will very briefly glitch out upon initial rendering. I've only seen this occur in the BLADE Barracks, and it is pretty rare. Second, and more importantly, Elma's true form seems to have some fairly major lighting issues. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQcIw3jXRgQ Video]) | |||

Xenoblade Chronicles X is an action role-playing video game developed by Monolith Soft and published by Nintendo. Part of the Xeno series of video games, it serves as a spiritual successor to Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii. The game centers on the player's customizable player character, and main characters Elma and Lin Lee efforts to survive and coexist with the indigenous creatures on a hostile alien planet while striving to protect humanity.
Known Issues
Brightness is too high
- Can be partially fixed by using a graphic pack which reduces the bloom effect, download the latest graphic packs here.
Sound issues
- Music and voices are too low compared to other sounds. Music volume can be adjusted with this workaround.
- If this issue was an emulation error, it has been fixed by Cemu updates. However, I'm leaving the link since it is still useful, as there are no audio setting in-game.
- Voices being overpowered by the comparatively louder music during cut scenes was a common issue in the original game on the Wii U.
Softlocks/Crashes
- When selecting the manual from the in game menu, you will be taken to a FrontierNav background page that is empty. There is no way to get out of this screen other than restarting Cemu.
- The graphics pack "Change Time from eManual" will instead open the change time menu when selecting the manual, preventing a softlock.
- The manual can be viewed online on the official Nintendo website here.
- When selecting "Nintendo eShop" from the title screen, Cemu will be stuck on a black screen
- When selecting "Return to title screen", the game may load infinitely.
- When trying to send a friend a request to someone through the game, "Connecting. Please wait..." will be displayed indefinitely.
- Friend functionality works if a friend is added on actual hardware, or through a dumped Friends List applet in Cemu
- When joining an online mission from a recruitment notification, an error may appear.
- This error might be in-game, in which case all is fine.
- However it might also be a Cemu Err-Eula popup, which requires a restart of Cemu.
- Sometimes this just crashes Cemu.
- Sometimes it works fine.
- On some systems, using "Separate GamePad View" causes Cemu to crash approx into 10-15 mins of playthrough, closing this and using only TAB or CTRL-TAB may solve this issue.
- Cemu may occasionally crash during long play sessions. This seems to be completely random. (May be fixed in 1.20.X, May be caused by multi-core)
Texture/Graphic bugs
As of Cemu 1.20.2, all graphics issues are resolved, except:
- Some textures, primarily in NLA and on the foliage in Noctilum, will be corrupted or checkered at a distance.
- For some reason this issue always goes away when you're close enough for the game to load the highest quality versions of textures. Because of this, the "Texture LOD Offset" graphics pack may help with this.
- Light trails on cars and skells can randomly lag behind by a frame, causing small flickering.
- The major flickering issue, mentioned below.
- Occasionally shadows will be rendered significantly differently in a rectangle around the player. This might happen on actual hardware.
- Occasionally a shadowy overlay appears over some geometry, following the camera. This seems to primarily happen in Noctilum. It tends to disappear when moving a significant distance, and is slight enough go potentially unnoticed.
Screen-Wide Flicker
There is a major issue where the entire screen will flicker with a combination of vertex explosions and corrupted UI elements. The Cemu team has confirmed that they are working on this.
- This seems to only occur on the Vulkan renderer
- This issue is made worse and more common, but not caused by:
- Certain in-game menus and UI elements
- Resolution graphics packs
- 60fps Patch graphics pack
- It seems to be caused by some sort of scheduling issue. The appearance of this issue is linked to high CPU performance relative to GPU performance
- It can be reduced or eliminated by:
- Disabling mentioned graphics packs
- Disabling UI elements through the in-game settings, especially the mini-map
- Overclocking your GPU
- Underclocking or otherwise limiting your CPU
Configuration
This game does not require non-default settings to run properly. Using Triple-Core Recompiler greatly increases performance and does not seem to cause issues. Optionally, there are graphic packs available. As mentioned above, using the Brightness workaround (with the appropriate preset for your GPU) is recommended. Additionally, raising the resolution to 1080p or higher significantly improves the readability of the UI and does not cause issues.
DLC
The original Japanese release did not contain the DLC missions and characters. In the worldwide release all the DLC characters were included on disk. If you are using the WW release you don't need to dump the DLC.
For the original Japanese release you might want to skip content\0017, 0018, 0019, and 001a. These are load acceleration data packs for a disc version of the game with the duplicate data.
