Dolphin.exe has stopped working

[Kurthnaga]

I'm sure there are plenty of these threads, but my problem appears to be at least slightly different. The games I've played have worked perfectly the first time, installed dolphin and just went, no problem. But if I stop the emulation once, I am no longer able to access that specific game. I can still play my other games once. I can even reinstall dolphin to play them again, but that is a very clunky way to fix the issue. Does anyone have any advice?

Usually you can temporarily fix this by deleting your shader cache in Dolphin's user folder. I think there's a more permanent fix too, but I can't remember it.

Deleting the shaders has not helped unfortunately.

[Kurthnaga]

Any other help? I would really like to continue to play.

Are you sure you're clearing the correct cache?

[Kurthnaga]

I think I did, but I'm by no means an expert. If you could show me a screenshot of the cache to see if I did it correctly I would appreciate it.

EDIT: I supposed it would be more correct to say a screenshot of a clearing of the cache.

There's an option in View on the title bar to clear cache. Not sure why it's there of all places.

Last time I checked, that was for Dolphin's cache for things like the banner images and such, different from the actual shader cache (unless that's changed in the latest developer revisions).

[JMC47]

It actually cleared both I thought? I could be mistaken, though.

[Shonumi]

Pretty sure it doesn't, at least the current code on github says it only clears out .cache files associated with the D_CACHE_IDX C++ enum, which is different from the D_SHADERCACHE_IDX enum. Actually, making it delete both should be a very trivial matter though, I mean in terms of modifying Dolphin's code.
