This build fixes that. Everything else is the same as build 116: see the [build 116 release notes](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/tag/build-116) for the full changelog.\n\n> **Recommended download: the PGO build.**\n\n## What's changed\n\n- **Fixed the AMD crash from build 116** ([#657](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/pull/657)). On the Windows driver, RX 6000 (RDNA2), RX 5000 (RDNA1), Vega and Polaris cards crashed in `amdvlk64.dll` during 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.\n\n## Common issues\n\n- **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.\n\n## Known issues\n\n- Splatoon Raiders: characters look too dark, there is a green tint and FPS is lower than in earlier builds. This is being investigated.\n\n---\n\nAutomatic build of `nx2` at 89440b29a90708c0fefc126b2bd8c7a64a996bdd.\n\n## Linux\n\nLinux 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).\n\n| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| amd64 | [AppImage](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-x86_64.AppImage) · [tar.gz](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-x86_64.tar.gz) | [AppImage](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-x86_64-pgo.AppImage) · [tar.gz](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-x86_64-pgo.tar.gz) | Make the AppImage executable (`chmod +x`) and run it |\n| ARM (aarch64) | [AppImage](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-aarch64.AppImage) · [tar.gz](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-aarch64.tar.gz) | [AppImage](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-aarch64-pgo.AppImage) · [tar.gz](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-linux-aarch64-pgo.tar.gz) |  |\n\n## Windows\n\nWindows packages are in-place zip files: extract and run `lichii.exe`, or `eden-cli.exe` from a terminal.\n\n| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| amd64 / x86_64 | [zip](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-windows-x86_64.zip) | [PGO zip](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-windows-x86_64-pgo.zip) | Both built with clang-cl and ThinLTO; the PGO zip adds a profile trained on Ocarina of Time |\n\n## macOS\n\n| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| arm64 (Apple Silicon) | [zip](https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases/download/build-117/lichii-macos-arm64.zip) |  | macOS 15 or newer.
