#Severe Freeze and Task Manager crash booting Pokémon X

Hi everyone, I'm having a severe freezing issue with Azahar when trying to boot Pokémon X and I could use some help.

The Issue:
When I double-click the game, the emulator window freezes and says "Not responding". If I try to close the window, it becomes a zombie process in the background and completely crashes my Windows Task Manager. I have to hard reboot my PC to clear it.

My Setup:

Game: Pokémon X (decrypted .trim.3ds, dumped myself via GodMode9)

CPU: Intel Core i7-10510U (Using Intel Integrated Graphics)

OS: Windows 11 (16GB RAM)

What I've tried:
I already switched the Graphics API from Vulkan to OpenGL, but the emulator still freezes in the exact same way on boot.

I've attached my two log files to this message. Does anyone know which specific settings I should tweak to prevent the Intel drivers from crashing? Thanks in advance!

Are you loading any kind of mod? if using MSYS2, have you tried using MSVC?

No, I'm not loading any mods at all, it's a completely clean and fresh dump. I am currently using the MSVC version (azahar-2124.3-windows-msvc.zip). Would you recommend trying the MSYS2 version instead to see if it stops the freezing?

Yeah, try MSYS2, generally that works better out of the box, MSVC could be missing some dependencies

okok, i try

#

still nothing

#

same problems

What about your intel iGPU drivers? in some rarer cases those can cause issues if they're old

#

Or maybe you can also try to redump the game

pure oasis

i'm not able to understand properly what it means

restive gate
#

Your windows version is for developers and not meant to be publicly used, thus it can contain some problems

Your GPU drivers are outdated, update them to be able to run this azahar version
