Some important things:
1) The vulkan shader cache will be invalidated, so stuttering will reappear on already played games until the cache is re-generated.
2) As usual, savestates from previous versions will cease working (read our blog "understanding savestates" for more info).

Stuttering should only be noticeable when using the OpenGL renderer. Please keep in mind that shader cache invalidation is required in order for us to implement the improvements we have made in this version.

NOTE: This build is not yet considered a stable release, but is instead a build which could be promoted to a stable release if it is sufficiently tested with no major issues being discovered.

In the 2120.3 update, we have added a prompt for users who were affected by this issue which allows restoring the old user directory at wish.

Thank you for your patience, and sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

NOTE: Users who upgraded from Lime3DS to Azahar may have been prompted to re-select their user data directory, and if a different directory was selected than the one being using before, it would seem like data such as save files may have been lost.
