- Inside the load folder, you should see another folder with a long string of characters. Open this folder and paste the “60FPS” folder here.
While playing at 60 FPS is challenging, buggy and may result in slowdowns, the game runs smoothly at 30 FPS. The day one update of the game, which includes patch 1.1.0, fixes various performance issues and significantly improves gameplay. Combining the update with the 30FPS mod can provide an almost perfect experience on Ryujinx, achieving quality similar to what one would have on a Nintendo Switch. For Yuzu, if you are using a low-performance PC and apply downscale and FSR, it is highly recommended to use the FSR fix mod to fix various graphical issues and ensure smoother gameplay and better image quality. Finally, make note that Yuzu using OpenGL consumes almost 3.7 GB of VRAM, while Ryujinx only consumes 1.5 GB.
