Hi All,
Long time lurker, first time poster.... not messed around with Dolphin for a while but decided to try it again about a month ago and so glad to see some massive improvements being made and 5.0 being released! Anyway, few games i've tried so far have been great... wind waker looks and performs amazing, but having lots of problems with this game (and metroid 1, but to a lesser extent).
I'm getting really bad slow down alot in this game, running default settings in Dolphin 5.0, used DX11, DX12 and OpenGL and same results more or less. Issues seem to be around entering new areas, or to and from areas, going into scan mode (severe slow down, stuttering etc), cut scenes really choppy and slow. I put it down to maybe the shader cache building, but still getting it after quite a few hours of play, and even visiting previous areas etc, but I'll get random stutters and slow down just walking around.
My FPS/VPS are solid at 60fps until the choppy/slow downs occur, and then it drops to around 40-45, sometimes 30, but the game is a slideshow.... so it doesn't seem to be purely FPS related. Also my CPU usage never goes above 30%.
I'll add my config settings when I get to my gaming machine in a mo (edit: config attached), hopefully i've added enough for someone to hopefully help or give me some pointers.
Specs (to save viewing profile):
i5 3550
8gb RAM
GTX 970
Win 10
Dolphin 5.0
Cheers
