OpenGL API rendering also saw some improvements, with the implementation of a local memory warmup shader for NVIDIA. Speaking of Tears of the Kingdom, you can now safely upscale it higher without breaking the ambient occlusion effects. This makes most UE4 games stable, but Tears of the Kingdom and other VRAM intense games may stutter more once VRAM gets close to full. They adjusted it to 'prefer (instead of require) using device local memory (VRAM) for image memory, which ends up allowing up to 50% of shared memory (system RAM) to be used by the GPU'. One change that people with 4GB or lower VRAM might not appreciate is their Vulkan memory manager change. Games that use Unreal Engine 4 should no longer have broken textures with the Vulkan API (mostly an issue on NVIDIA), plus another improvement for UE4 games thanks to test the Pikmin 4 Demo that was crashing (and now solved). Especially useful for people with 16GB or less RAM. Improvements were also made for people with lower RAM, managing a '99.6% reduction' in RAM use for shader recompiling.

They fixed a problem when 'a memory page is being used by the GPU and written by the CPU at the same time' which solved various graphics bugs in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild & The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition and more games. Yuzu itself now ships with 'virtually all' time zone data that the Switch has by default, so one less thing needed from a firmware dump. Picture above is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which now has much improved rendering thanks to all their working going into improving anisotropic filtering at higher values without rendering issues, improving image quality and it fixed up an old rendering bug for Mario Kart 8 too. As usual, it's a lengthy read full of technical speak and exciting features and fixes so I'm here to summarise the important bits for you. Yes June, they're running over previous work. The incredible team building the Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu have a new progress report out for June 2023 and it's quite a doozy.
