Current Behavior

Hello Everyone,

I have an issue, I am using the ARM build of Cemu on Ubuntu 24.04 (switchroot, Nintendo Switch Mariko).
Cemu starts normally, the menu works fine, and I can launch Wind Waker without issues.
The problem happens after the intro cinematic while using Vulkan, the game switches to a total red screen and the audio continue, but the video output is broken and the game becomes unplayable

When switching to OpenGL, the game does not show the red screen and continues past the cinematic, but performance is extremely low (very low FPS).

What works / doesn’t work:

✅ Menu: works fine
✅ OpenGL: no red screen, but very low FPS
❌ Vulkan: red screen after cinematic

Note:
This seems to be Vulkan-specific. The issue does not happen in the menu and only appears once gameplay starts.

Expected Behavior

The compatibility show it should work perfectly and it does with OpenGL (with low fps) but not Vulkan.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch Cemu
Start Wind Waker
Let the intro cinematic finish
Game switches to red screen when using Vulkan
