Game crash on save

[Old timer]

Hello, I am trying to play a Rune factory final frontier.

I've played this game before without problems on older versions of Dolphin.

Not sure what the issue is now but when the game loads., after clicking on "New game", it will go to a save screen to create a new file and there it freezes. Dolphin becomes unresponsive after this.

Solutions?

Tnx for your time!

Does this happen in 5.0 stable of in the latest 5.0 dev build?

Tried other games out of curiosity and none of them work. Since my old card burned out about 6 months ago i looked into it.

Seems my graphics card is the problem. Intel HD 2500 doesn't make the cut. I will need to replace the burnt out AMD card and try again.

Thanks

What backend are you using, OpenGL or D3D?

I'm a noob but I'll still attempt to answer your questions.

I'm using 5.0 stable build.

Default settings.  

Clicking on graphics button opens another window.  OpenGL is selected at the top in General tab / Basic / backend.






I ran a benchmark test and it seems my onboard Intel HD 2500 is about pathetic.  But is this card capable of running Rune factory?  

If it is maybe i should play with dolphins graphic settings. This game ran fine for me before, but i had an external AMD card which has since burnt out.  

Thanks for your time.

*Update

I have changed the OpenGL to Direct3D 11 and the game seems to run fine on this save screen now so god willing the problem is solved.

Thank you, i appreciate it.


While i have you here I have another question that maybe you can assist with.

I have set hot keys for full screen (LShift and F). The window goes to full screen fine but pushing them again to return to windowed mode just reduces the game screen size with rest of the screen being a black background.

Pressing LShift + F again doesn't return me to my desktop and windowed mode. Essentially the only way i can get back to desktop is forcing task manager open. Any workarounds for this?

Tnx again.
