Citra core crashes on startup

Libretro Cores
#1

Never had this problem before. Today, after updating the Citra core, any game I try to launch throws the error “OpenGL 3.3 is not supported”.

Here’s the entire startup message:

I’m on a 780Ti and Citra’s always worked for me, so I don’t know what’s up with that. Every other core works fine, too.

#4

Looks like you’re using the vulkan driver while the core needs GL.

#5

Actually, that doesn’t matter. I’ve simply reset the default driver in retroarch.cfg to vulkan again after having considered that very thing. No matter which driver I try I get the same error.

EDIT: Sorry. I am a bonafide idiot who could’ve solved this issue on my own, by simply realizing I have to set ‘driver’ to ‘gl’ NOT ‘opengl’. Thanks for your patience, guys.

EDIT2: All right. Setting ‘video_driver = “gl”’ in Citra.cfg doesn’t seem to actually work if I have vulkan as the default driver. What gives?

#6

You can’t swap drivers during runtime. It requires a full teardown of the whole thing (that is, change it, exit restart RetroArch)

#7

So how would one go about running OpenGL for some cores and Vulkan for others without it being cumbersome?

#8

We don’t have a good solution for that, unfortunately. If you’re using an external launcher like Hyperspin/Launchbox, you can pass different configs using the -c /path/to/config command line switch and those configs can have different drivers, since they’re launching the entire program from scratch, but there’s no way to gracefully do it while RetroArch is running, unfortunately.

OH, right! I used to do that for every core before overrides were a thing, and that must be why I didn’t have that problem earlier! Guess I’m a lucky LB user, then. :smile:

Again, thanks.

#10

I got the same problem. Just fresh install the Retroarch 1.8.1 and i can`t load any Citra core.

Those appear to be the errors, though I’m not sure what that actually means. Do any other cores work for you?

#12

Yes,any other core works.
