Some games tie their physics engines directly to the frame rate. Unlocking the FPS to 60 or higher might cause the game to run at double speed. If this happens, look inside the .patch file for an accompanying "Physics Fix" or "Time Scale Fix" patch and enable it. Graphical Artifacts

The Xenia project on GitHub exemplifies the benefits of community-driven development:
The Xenia project has a dedicated community of contributors. The top 5 contributors by the number of patches submitted are: xenia patches github
If you have a file named portable.txt in your Xenia folder, the patches folder will be located in that same directory (e.g., Xenia_Folder\patches ).
When you update Xenia Canary, it's recommended to also update your patches:
Open your main Xenia Canary directory (where your xenia_canary.exe is located). Some games tie their physics engines directly to
Unzip the folder. You will find a patches folder containing hundreds of files named after game Title IDs (e.g., 454108D8.patch.toml ).
If you prefer complete control or use the Master build, you can download them directly from the web browser.
: Common patches include unlocking frame rates (e.g., 60 FPS), fixing graphical glitches (like flickering decals or lighting artifacts), and adjusting aspect ratios. Configuration : To use patches, you must ensure apply_patches in your Xenia Canary configuration file. Activation : Individual patches within a .patch.toml file are disabled by default ( is_enabled = false ) and must be manually toggled to using a text editor or a manager tool. Requirements for Use Xenia Canary : Patches are exclusively supported on the Xenia Canary experimental build Matching Title IDs Graphical Artifacts on GitHub explains how to create
Xenia identifies patches by looking for a dedicated patches folder in its root directory. Locate your main Xenia or Xenia Canary executable folder.
: Obtain the latest patch collection zip and extract the patches folder into your Xenia Canary directory.
