Dolphin just closes.

[AzXeus]

so i've tried reinstalling both x64 and x86 vc 2015 packs and i've tried using both Dolphin v5 and v4.0.2 x64 and both of them open the main window for less than a second and then it just closes with no error or warning. i tried them both as admin and in compatibility mode with no changes

EDIT: I just tried the x86 version of v4.0.2 and it didn't close.. any ideas on how to get the x64 versions working?

Check to make sure there aren't any pending recommended or optional Windows updates.

Well, From Personal experience, If you are using AMD's crimson, make sure Dolphin isn't profiled in it (as well as the raptor app), Since your Global crimson settings will attempt to overrides Dolphin's. Also, sometimes, reinstalling is not enough, Go to your docs folder and delete the Dolphin's folder (Make a back-up just in case as it will delete your saves, settings, etc.).

Definetly, Make sure you are up to date in everything (Windows, Dx, VC2015, AMD GPU)

Or you can try a clean install of Drivers, Dx and VC2015 x86 and x64 to make sure.

Lastly a clean Windows Install might help.

Good Luck and hope you can solve your problem

so i have no updates to install, i've just updated my drivers and reinstalled VC2015 both x86 and x64 after, there's no profiles for Dolphin in my AMD + raptr app thing and then uninstalled dolphin and deleted my dolphin folder in docs folder. reinstalled dophin and exactly the same thing is happening.

i'm not reinstalling windows.

now, does anyone have some actual idea why this might be happening?

Let me see if I've got this correct: None of the recent x64 builds will work but the old 4.0.2 32-bit build does? Are you sure you're running the 64bit version of your OS?

yup, this correct, if i weren't running x64 OS then the x64 version wouldn't install or start, but it does start and then just closes.. i wish i knew some way of debugging what was going on

To access the debugger, start dolphin with a "/d" switch in the command line.

The memory editor is in the debugger under the View -> Memory menu.

Yes, there are breakpoints in the debugger. Execution breakpoints (BPX) are available in the RELEASE build of Dolphin. Memory read/write breakpoints (BPR/BPW) are available in DEBUGFAST builds of Dolphin. You'll have to compile your own Dolphin to make a DEBUGFAST version.

So shift+right-click the folder that holds your Dolphin.exe, select "Open command window here", type "Dolphin.exe -d", hit enter. Alternatively, have a shortcut and append -d to the end of the target line

The only other way to debug that I know of would be to download the source yourself and go from there

i have a feeling the debugger mode is for debugging what is running in the emulator rather than the emulator itself.
alas i tired it, i can see the window is rather different but again it doesnt stay around for very long before disappearing.
thanks for trying to help anyway

Are you using one of the latest dev builds or the 5.0/4.0.2 stable release?
