Help With Running BOTW on Cemu

[Cedhrion]

My computer specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD - FX-8350 4GHz 8-Core
GPU: Radeon HD 7870 2GB
Ram: Corsair - Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

I know it's a bit dated, but should I only be getting an average of 5 FPS over world and 8 FPS in shrines? I followed the Cemu setup for 1.12.2 by BSOD Gaming on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDJraJWj0Tg ). I've been struggling with this for quite a while and can't seem to be able to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated, whether it be setup wise, or recommendations for a computer update. (Also, it's taking like anywhere from 25-45 minutes for the shader caches to boot up every time I launch the game.) Thank you so much in advance.

No. 8 fps in shrines isn't right at all. 25-45 min to compile shaders is insane. I hope you are prone to extreme melodrama or there is something seriously wrong with your system.

Nothing can cause the issues you are having but post your log so we can see if there are any obvious issues.

Is this the log you're looking for?

I don't see anything really wrong. Try deleting your pre compiled cache and your gl cache.

Also have you tried dual core recompiler? Some users have reported triple core performing worse. And set rdtsc to true.

[Cedhrion]

Well, I figured out the fix for my super long cache compiling. For some reason, Cemu never saved the precompiled cache. So I just reinstalled the whole folder. But even so, after trying all the suggestions, I'm still running at the same FPS as before. It's the strangest thing.
