Ladies and gentleman, start your updaters! The Cemu developers have just released a new public version of their popular Wii U emulator: 1.15.13b. While the Vulkan renderer may have not been included in this build yet, as it's still in a promising but WIP state in the Patreon-exclusive 1.16.0, the team has fixed a couple of bugs related to the GamePad view: its resolution is now set correctly when launched before a game is running and the mouse cursor no longer gets hidden while interacting with its window in fullscreen mode. Speaking of fixes, some crashes have also been resolved, specifically with a few homebrew apps and the games FullBlast and Adventures of Pip (including other Unity ones, potentially). If you're enjoying the Screenshot function, keep in mind this version changes its hotkey from Print Screen to F12!

However, 1.15.13b also drops support for older graphic packs - in particular, the ones using the version 1 format (first introduced in Cemu 1.7.0). Version 2 and 3 packs will still continue to work. If you have any custom ones installed, be sure to double-check whichever you're using before updating!

Yep I need a new CPU. I upgraded my GPU to an RTX 2070, but my GPU is over 5 years old. i7 3.4GHz. I need to upgrade my PC for sure it's been way to long haha.

I can’t overclock though

I do not think a i7 3rd gen beyond will bottleneck a 2070...

Always good to see new updates coming out and bugs getting patched! I have been reliving my childhood of playing the sims on Cemu
