DirectX 12 broken for me

Saint Chewy · 04-23-2016, 01:23 AM #1

Hi everyone I have had this issue for awhile but decided to wait and see if it would fix itself with later versions of Dolphin. But as the title says DirectX 12 doesn't work for me anymore. The games will start but the screen will be completely black, but the game will still work. I can hear music and everything going on like normal just no video. I just tried the latest version of Dolphin 4.0-9224 and this issue is still there. The last version that seems to work for me is 4.0-9028. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this has been posted before I didnt see any other threads about this.

So, in other words, 4.0-9028 is the last working version and 4.0-9045 is the first broken version, is that right?

If so, it looks like the issue was caused by one of the changes in PR 3647.

I am unsure if 4.0-9045 was the one that broke. I just know that when I tried to update one day thats when I noticed it stopped working. Its the same on my computer and my wifes computer so I am unsure to why that is. I also haven't seen any one else with this issue

4.0-9045 is the version which introduced some changes to the DX12 backend, so it is possibly the one which broke it for you. To be sure, you would need to test 4.0-9028, see if it's working, and 4.0-9045 too.

Okay just tried and sure enough I still get the black screen. Is there any fix to this?

You may want to check your computer's settings. I don't think the bug is in Dolphin.

I have a very similar system and I can't reproduce this bug.

What settings would I look for on my computer? If I use the latest version of dolphin and select either D3D11 or OpenGL it will play fine. D3D12 just doesnt seem to work for me or my wife. I just try to play with D3D12 because when I get fps drops the audio doesn't seem to stutter as much.

Something might be wrong with your system in general. Perhaps you're using steam overlay or something hooking into Dolphin that is screwing things up

No steam overlay for dolphin. I just tried the latest version of Ishiiruka just to see and D3D12 worked fine there too. Could my video card drivers have something to do with it? Right now I am on 359.00. Sorry I am trying to think of anything that could prove helpful. Its just strange seeing how 4.0-9028 works perfect but then 4.0-9045 and after is broken for me.
