Pikmin 3 is a Real-Time Strategy game where your goal is to collect food for your starving planet. You use Pikmin to help you survive and to achieve your goal.

Known Issues

Game freezes on startup (Fixed in 1.15.4)

The game will freeze on a blank black screen after asking to enable Spotpass. This can be bypassed by using a save that has the first day completed

Last Boss crashes (Fixed in 1.9.1)

The game crashes on the initial cutscene that introduces the Plasm Wraith on the Formidable Oak map.

Slowdown in Bingo Battles

The glowing line that appears when a player is close to winning causes the framerate to tank to about 15 - 20 fps. Once the animation disappears (whether a player has actually won or not) the framerate will NOT recover and the rest of the match will be slow. The slowdown stops when a match ends.

Configuration

• This game does not require non-default settings to run properly. Optional there are graphic packs available.
• If you are using Cemuhook, Cemuhook H264 must be disabled for video to play properly.

1.9 Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes 1.9.1 Windows 10 USA Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.2 GHz NVIDIA GTX 1050 zaleus3 30 Playable Game still needs a save file to bypass day 1, even with the separate gamepad view. Juice causes severe frame drop when pouring into the bottles.
1.11 Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes 1.11.0 Windows 10 USA Intel Core i7 7700k @ 4.5 GHz NVIDIA GTX 1070 Deschamps 30 Playable Cannot load without a save file already present or else game loads into Pikmin background,prompts to use a sensor bar for wii remote and then stays stuck on black screen.

1.12 Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes 1.12.0 Windows 10 USA Intel Core i7-7700 @ 3.6 GHz Intel HD Graphics 630 SunseedBerry 27-30 Playable Crashes when killing any Blowhog. When using Intel GPUs, some objects in the game are brighter than normal. Using the -nolegacy fix however, corrects this. Randomly, sometimes the game freezes for a second but then the game internally resumes but for the user the screen is frozen. When using some controllers, unless you set the range to a higher percentage, you won't be able to move. 1.12.0 Windows 10 USA Intel Core i7-7600K @ 4.0 GHz EVGA 1060 Superclocked Lolcele 30 Playable Some random crashes. Have to use safe file to skip day 1 black screen after spotpass menu.
1.14 Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes 1.14.0 Windows 10 USA Intel Core i7-6700HQ @ 2.6 GHz NVIDIA GTX 960M BayernTod 30 Playable No longer crashes. Must pre-populate save data directory prior to playing. Day 1 is completely unplayable even when pre-populating save data directory. Juicing animation halves framerate to 15fps. 1.14.0 Arch Linux USA Ryzen 2700X Pulse Vega 56 Soapsuds 30 Playable Day one still crashes even after adding save data. CEMU 1.14 also seems to have moved the location for save data so the guide I was using was wrong and on Linux the automated save game mover crashes. Otherwise the only real issue is that juicing drops the framerate considerably. 1.14.0c Windows 10 Pro (x64) USA Intel Core i7-4710HQ @ 2.5GHz (RAM 16GB) NVIDIA GTX 980M Mored1984 20-28 Unplayable Can't run game just boot menu
1.15 Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes 1.15.1e Windows 10 Educational USA i5-9600k @ 4.27Ghz Intel UHD 630 jkcoxson 30-55 Playable Must use a save to get past day one. Won't boot without it. Default settings except for triple-core compiler. Game graphics occasionally freeze while the rest keeps going. Pretty good otherwise. 1.15.1d Windows 10 Pro (x64) EUR Intel Core i7-4710HQ @ 2.5GHz (RAM 16GB) NVIDIA GTX 980M Mored1984 20-60 Playable Must use Save Tutorial Bypass to play the game. 1.15.4b Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise x64 EUR AMD Ryzen 1700X NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti cjrcl 30 Perfect Now NO Save Tutorial Bypass is required! With v96 Patch and v48 DLC applied to the EUR WUX game I can play through Day 1!!! 1.15.5c Windows 10 Pro X64 EUR Intel Xeon E3-1220@3.10GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti FireBlazeWolf 29-30 Playable Day 1 can be played, Game runs pretty well but has slowdown in some areas of the game. It does freeze at random when launching from the ship to an area at a beginning of a new day. And Juicing still has massive frame drops(recommend to press + to skip it will make it it faster) I'll Update this when/if I can finish the game Edit 5/4/2019 Game can be finished. Final area with Plasm Wraith Has huge frame drops. Overall pretty good.!!! 1.15.7c Windows 7 X64 US Intel i7 3770 3.00GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 FireHawkX 27-30 Playable Everything is close to perfect. Now at Day 30. Minor slowdown when creating the shader cache when you arrive at a new area. With Triple Core recompiler, no slowdown during juicing or anywhere really. But the game would freeze on a loading with a black screen. Switching to single core fixed the freezing completely, but slowdowns occurs with juicing and landing. Still very close to perfect and completely playable.
1.22 Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes 1.22.9d Windows 10 Home (x64) USA i7-6567u @ 3.3GHz Intel Iris 550 Yeast 30 Playable Played through the whole game. 4 random crashes, 2 in Tropical Wilds and 2 in Formidable Oak in a 13-hour playthrough. Ran at 30fps 720p always except for juicing, where real hardware also has slowdowns. Mission mode occasionally crashes. Bingo Battle mode has the issue with endgame slowdown. I don't know if the crashes are Cemu's fault or my iGPU's fault. == Pikmin 3 Space saved whit .wua extension == Base Files Size (Game, Update and DLC) Game: 3,77GB Update: 0,355MB DLC: 0,530MB Total space: 4,655GB Total space saved whit .wua extension: 0,475MB
