Dolphin 4.0.2 keeps crashing randomly

Is it the 'FIFO overflown by gatherpipe, CPU thread too fast' issue? That's come back a few times recently, but is usually fixed within a few revisions of someone reporting it.

That's actually an error I saw yesterday in the latest PR build for the Rogue Squadron games.
I thought it had to do with overclocking the CPU, but it's not.

It's not a big deal, as it's just a warning but I thought the emu crashed the first time I saw it.

Yes that's the error I get. It only happens during really graphic intense scenes in metroid prime. I'm not overclocking anything on my PC CPU and i'm not using the overclock feature in the program.

Yes, it seems like this error/warning message appears when there's a lot going on the screen because mine happened during the Bulls-Eye 20 womp rat training on Tatooine on Rogue Squadron II numerous times.

Hmm weird

Yes it's weird because the womp rat training ain't nothing compared to a level like Battle of Hoth where there is a ton of things going on or any other level for that matter.

If you have an older GPU; it can drop enough frames to desync the CPU/GPU during intense scenes in Metroid Prime. It doesn't have idleskipping, which actually makes it more unstable for dualcore. Try single core.

A question; Is a Radeon R9 290 card old?
