AMD regression fix. Build 116 crashed on AMD Radeon RX 6000 cards and older while Ocarina of Time built its shaders after boot. This build fixes that. Everything else is the same as build 116: see the build 116 release notes for the full changelog.
Recommended download: the PGO build.
What's changed
- Fixed the AMD crash from build 116 (#657). On the Windows driver, RX 6000 (RDNA2), RX 5000 (RDNA1), Vega and Polaris cards crashed in
amdvlk64.dllduring the Ocarina of Time shader build. The driver reports matrix-core support on these cards even though they have none, so the faster matrix path from #583 now only runs on RDNA3 and newer. RX 7000/9000 and NVIDIA are unchanged. Thanks to nlz242 for bisecting it and testing the fix on an RX 6800 XT.
Common issues
- White streaks or trails at night in Ocarina of Time (Navi, fireflies, smoke): turn off Emulation → Configure → Graphics → Use NVIDIA DLSS in place of a game's DLSS. This comes from DLSS, and a fix is being tested.
Known issues
- Splatoon Raiders: characters look too dark, there is a green tint and FPS is lower than in earlier builds. This is being investigated.

Linux
Linux packages come as an AppImage (self-contained, needs glibc 2.39 or newer: Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40, Debian 13, Arch) and a tar.gz (uses your system libraries, so Qt 6 and the usual libraries must be installed).
| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| amd64 | AppImage · tar.gz | AppImage · tar.gz | Make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it
|
| ARM (aarch64) | AppImage · tar.gz | AppImage · tar.gz |
Windows
Windows packages are in-place zip files: extract and run lichii.exe, or eden-cli.exe from a terminal.
| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| amd64 / x86_64 | zip | PGO zip | Both built with clang-cl and ThinLTO; the PGO zip adds a profile trained on Ocarina of Time |
macOS
| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| arm64 (Apple Silicon) | zip | macOS 15 or newer. Not notarized: right-click and choose Open the first time, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine lichii.app. eden-cli is inside the app, in Contents/MacOS

The PGO builds are the same programs compiled with profile-guided optimization. Linux uses clang with Eglantine's profile; Windows uses clang-cl and ThinLTO with a profile trained in Lichii on Ocarina of Time, so other games gain less. Prefer them when your CPU supports it.
