Blackscreen/graphics not loading.

When I updated from dolphin version 3.0-305 to 3.0-306 I started getting a problem in Skyward sword. (this problem is still existing if I update to 3.0-307 or if I revert back to 3.0-305)

The problem
(at 2:25 in the video I show a game cube game working with no problems at all)

The settings I am using when I get the problem in Skyward are:
Backend: Direct3D11
Adapter: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

Fullscreen resolution 1920x1080
Aspect Ratio: Force 16:9

Use fullscreen on

Show fps on

Internal Resolution: Auto (Windo Size)

Anisotropic Filtering: 16x
Scaled EFB Copy on

Ignore Format Changes

EFB copies disabled

Texture Cache/Accuracy: 2nd from the right

External Fram Buffer disabled

Fast mipmaps

Disable per-pizel depth

For the WindWaker (shown in the video) the settings are
Backend: DX9
Adapter: the same

Resolution/aspect ratio are the same

show fps is off

Internal resolution: Auto (window size

AA: 4x SSAA

AF: 16x

Scaled EFB Copy - on

Per-pixel Lighting on

Force Texture Filtering on

Ignore format changes on

EFB copies set to RAM

Texture Cache/Accuracy is the same

Everything else is the same.

Update to the latest build and/or clear your User/ShaderCache folder. Have you updated your video drivers lately?

Thanks for the quick response! I checked my drivers for my GPU and they are up to date (I re installed them just to make sure), then I updated dolphin and deleted the user folder like you said. This fixed the problem but it seems to have deleted all my game data, what sections of the user folder should I restore to get my save data back?

Never mind the last post, I suddenly forgot the existence of the search feature. I now can play games in dolphin again with out them being...well... 90% black textures.

Many thanks, and hope you have a happy new year!

All you need to do is saving the gc and wii folder in user folder. If the blackscreen is caused by bugs, perhaps you can unchecked the "enable panic handler" in configuration tabs (well not necessary except there's problem showed when blackscreen happens)
Sorry for a long discovery!
