alright, i went ahead and made an account here just to ask about this in my race to figure out whats wrong. i know several people have had this problem in the past, but i couldnt find any good answers during my googling, and im wondering if anyone here has any ideas in 2016
over the weekend i noticed that my ability to play games on dolphin has been gutted or something. when i tried to get down with some no more heroes, it could only barely run at 60 frames in the apartment, and outside i hover around 40fps. this is absolutely baffling to me, because i used to have zero issues running this at full frames several weeks ago, and i even streamed it (as impossible as it is to play with a gamepad). obv it isnt just no more heroes, brawl struggles to stay at full frames and even my gamecube games are stuttering all over the place
the only thing this stuff corresponds with is me accidentally doing a forced shutdown on my desktop the other night (it doesnt like to come out of hibernation, and i held the button down too long while talking to my big man. oops). as such, i thought i mightve corrupted some of dolphins files or something, but i got one of the latest builds from last night and that didnt change anything. i made another attempt by deleting all of my dolphin files and getting 4.0-8664 earlier today, but i still have the same issues. just now i tried 4.0.2, the last stable version, but no cigar
no more heroes is kinda my benchmark right now. i dont get any difference in performance between directx and opengl, downgrading from 2x native internal resolution to auto doesnt change anything. nothing else ive checked or unchecked in the graphics config made any difference. all the basic settings in the normal config are checked, and i have everything else on the recommended/default setting
i saw some people mentioned overheating could be the issue, but i still had the issue after turning my computer on this morning (i shut it off every night). i never changed any settings in the nvidia control panel before (at least for dolphin), and i went ahead and tanked everything earlier, but all that did was make dolphin wig out; no difference in frames
im pretty sure dolphin is the only thing acting strangely. all of my steam games are playing normally, yknow MGSV and GTAV and whatnot. i ran a scan with malwarebytes and it didnt come up with jack squat, not even anything suspicious, so it doesnt look like a virus could be the culprit. im like honestly dumbfounded, this stuff ran with flying colors not too long ago. does anyone here know what could be wrong?
