I normally use OpenGL as my default graphics back-end, but switch to Direct3D 11 for a few games. I'm having an issue where Direct3D stops working correctly (with a black screen or missing effects in most games) whenever I install a new version of Dolphin (typically the most recent Dev build).
Doing the following does not fix the problem:
Not sure if this is relevant, but my folder structure looks like:
C:\Emulators\GC\Dolphin-5.0\
C:\Emulators\GC\Dolphin-5.0-5322\
C:\Emulators\GC\Dolphin-5.0-5421\
etc.
I will normally extract the Dolphin download to the base "GC" folder, rename the resulting folder from "Dolphin-x64" to "Dolphin-5.0-xxxx", and then run the .exe
Is this a Dolphin bug? Has anyone else run into the same problem?
EDIT:
Forgot to mention I leave all Dolphin settings at default except: Auto-Adjust Window Size = "Yes" and Internal Resolution = "2x Native".
Also, I enabled full logging and didn't see any errors/warnings or additional info in the log when the problem occurs.
Doing the following does not fix the problem:
- Restarting Dolphin.
- Restarting Windows.
- Closing Dolphin and then opening an older Dolphin version already installed on my machine. It suddenly starts working correctly again in both versions.
- Having Direct3D11 already selected as the graphics back-end prior to installing the new version, and therefore also the first time that the new version loads. (When the problem does happen, I have OpenGL initially set as the back-end.)
