Lichii Black Screen Fix, AMD Crash and White Streaks: Symptom to Fix
Lichii black screen fix, AMD crash fix and the cure for white streaks at night are all in the table below. Each of the 21 documented problems is matched to the build that fixed it or to the setting that works around it, taken from the Lichii release notes and pull requests. Start by checking which build you run: most entries are solved simply by moving to build 117.

Settings that work around a problem today
Three problems have no code fix yet but go away with a change on your side.
White streaks at night in Ocarina of Time
- Open Emulation > Configure > Graphics.
- Untick Use NVIDIA DLSS in place of a game's DLSS.
- Restart the game. Navi, fireflies and smoke render without trails.
The streaks come from the DLSS replacement on RTX cards; a fix is being tested.
Failed to allocate 14336 MiB of backing memory
- Open Windows Settings > System > About > Advanced system settings.
- Under Performance, choose Settings > Advanced > Virtual memory > Change.
- Select System managed size, apply and reboot.
The build 75 known-issues list gives a system-managed page file as the workaround for this error.
macOS refuses to open lichii.app
- Right-click lichii.app in Applications and choose Open.
- Confirm the dialog once; later launches work normally.
- Alternatively run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine lichii.app in Terminal.
The Mac build is not notarized, so Gatekeeper blocks the first double-click.
Fixes per build
Updating is the most common cure. The chart counts the documented problems each build resolved; every chip opens that build’s packages in the download archive.
Before you report a new problem
01
Update first
Install build 117 from GitHub and try again. Build 95 is published under the build-94 tag, so check the About screen to see your real build number.
02
Try the other variant
If the PGO package misbehaves, run the standard package of the same build. A problem that only appears in one variant is useful information for the developers.
03
Grab the log
Open File > Open Lichii Folders > Log Folder and attach eden_log.txt. Note your GPU, driver version and whether DLSS or mods are enabled.
04
Search before posting
Look through the GitHub issues and the compatibility reports for your game. Builds with PR #303 can submit a desktop compatibility report; build 88 cannot.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Lichii crash on my AMD Radeon card in Ocarina of Time?
Build 116 crashed in amdvlk64.dll on RX 6000, RX 5000, Vega and Polaris cards while the game built its shaders after boot. The driver reports matrix-core support those cards do not have. Build 117 limits the faster matrix path to RDNA3 and newer, so update to build 117.
How do I fix the Star Fox black screen?
Use build 70 or anything newer. That release routes the game's DLSS network through a de-jitter stand-in, which removes the black screen, the heavy smearing and the stretched geometry, and it also makes controller input work through HID command 300.
Why is Splatoon Raiders too dark with a green tint?
This is a known issue in build 117: characters look too dark, there is a green tint and the frame rate is lower than in earlier builds. The developers list it as being investigated, so there is no setting that fixes it yet. Watch the next release notes.
Hyrule Field grass vanished after visiting Castle Town. What now?
That bug is fixed from build 116 onward by the foliage work in pull request #551. Update to build 117, which contains the same fix plus the AMD crash repair. Missing vegetation in general was already improved in build 83 through extra shader pointer and storage-buffer bindings.
