[JonahPekoe]

Prerequisites

• I am confident that my issue has not been reported already in open OR closed issues.
• I am able to reliably reproduce the issue on the latest stable or canary version.
• I am not using an unofficial build (Flatpak, Emudeck, etc.).
• I am a silly goose and didn't read these boxes.
• I am a silly goose and DID read these boxes.

Description of the issue

Hello,I started running Trails In the Sky 1st Chapter, and the text on the loading screen glitches. Once it finishes loading, everything is black except for a few interface elements; when I open the menu, it looks normal. I can interact with and move the characters as usual—it’s just the visual glitch on the screen that remains.

Reproduction steps

Open the game and it's just there.

I can reproduce what looks like the same rendering issue on Apple Silicon with a newer Canary build, adding some extra details here.

Environment:

• Ryujinx Canary 1.3.334
• macOS 27.0 (26A5378j)
• Apple M4 Pro, integrated Apple GPU, 24 GB RAM
• Firmware 22.5.0
• Game: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter / 하늘의 궤적 the 1st
• Title ID: 01001E9023920000
• Game version: v1.0.6.1 (base v1.0.0 + update v393216)
• Graphics backend: Vulkan / MoltenVK

Observed behavior:

• The game boots and runs at ~60 FPS.
• Opening FMV / early scene backgrounds are extremely dark, and some runs show large pink/colored blocks.
• Subtitles and parts of the UI render, so it is not a full freeze.

Things tested that did not fix it:

• Disabled shader cache and moved the per-game shader cache: not fixed; output degraded into black screen / colored blocks.
• Disabled Macro HLE: not fixed.
• Set backend threading to Off: not fixed.
• Tried OpenGL backend: not usable on this macOS build; it exits with PlatformNotSupportedException in EmbeddedWindowOpenGL.

Relevant log clues:

• Application Loaded: v1.0.6.1 [01001e9023920000] [64-bit]
• Ryujinx.NvdecProcessor FFmpeg Log: [h264 ...] illegal short term buffer state detected
• In the no-shader-cache test: Shader translator: Failed to find handle source for bindless access of type texture2D.

#100 and #209 need bindless texture support, too. would appreciate if someone could replicate this on pc
