Additionally, an issue with the Vulkan renderer where the emulation framerate could get stuck at the monitor refresh rate when the emulation speed was set to “uncapped” with vsync enabled has been fixed, thanks to an intervention by OpenSauce04 .

For Android users, the update fixes a bug introduced with Android 15 that caused emulation content to appear below the camera notch.

OpenSauce04 implemented a workaround using a specific Android 15 property, although this has already been deprecated in Android 16, which will require a further update in the future.

Additionally, an issue that caused Turbo notifications to appear in inappropriate situations, such as closing the settings menu, has been fixed, thanks to OpenSauce04 .

For Room mode, the option --usernamenow requires an argument, fixing a bug that made it optional and could cause a null pointer exception, as reported by Kexanone .

On macOS systems, the MoltenVK version has been updated from 1.2.7-rc2 to 1.2.9, thanks to the work of RedBlackAka, improving compatibility with the Vulkan renderer.

On the technical side, a compilation error related to a recent MSYS2 update, which used “stat” instead of “_stat64”, was fixed by OpenSauce04 .

Additionally, the code for checking for pre-release updates has been changed to use the GitHub Tags API instead of the Releases API, avoiding incorrect version ordering issues that could cause users to not upgrade or even downgrade.

Also OpenSauce04 added the “alpha” and “beta” substrings to the pre-release detection logic, improving update management.

Changelog

Updated the code for checking for prerelease updates, now uses the tagsGitHub API instead of the releases. API | @OpenSauce04 #1076
- This avoids an issue where, if they were loaded more releasesquickly than usual, the releases API could return the wrong order, causing the update checker to not suggest an upgrade or even suggest a downgrade , depending on the version in use.
Added substrings alphaand betaprerelease detection logic. | @OpenSauce04 #1074

Note

It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to this version as soon as possible, as the RPC server is now disabled by default.

Previously, the RPC server was always active, allowing any device on the local network to read and write to the emulated application’s memory.

This feature could be useful in advanced cases, such as external game overlays to show real-time stats or for integrations with streaming tools.

While this setup did not pose any particular concerns during the early stages of Citra’s development, the recent introduction of online support and account access has raised new security concerns.

It is therefore believed that it is no longer appropriate to keep the RPC server active by default. To date, there are no known cases where this feature has been exploited in a malicious way.
