When using directx the game runs nearly perfect except that it slows down in some transition areas with big objects like the bridge in the first chapter (but it doesn't slow when you use paper abilities or when going through pipes), it also crashes when asking Merluvlee where to go.

When using opengl the game doesn't crash when asking Merluvlee where to go but every single transition area (including pipes and paper abilities) makes the game slow down to a crawl.

Is it possible to fix those issues or do I just have to deal with it? Because otherwise I'll go with directx since it seems to provide the most playable results.

I'm also having the exact same issues.

I'm having a weird error/crashing scenario when entering one of the train cars in chapter 6 of TTYD.


It only happens during the daytime scenario of the chapter's mystery story.

During the evening and night time scenes I can enter without crashing but during the morning/daytime its a issue

Specs
Intel core i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80 GHz ~ 2.40 GHz
8 GB RAM
64 bit Operating system, x64 based processor
Windows 8.1
Asus laptop
GPU: Nvidia GEFORCE 745m


I've been playing on a outdated version of the emulator (my bad I know :X) - but I've tested it on two other more recent versions (one from the wiki) and the most recent dev one.







The error message that I get is....



^ I get about 10-15 similar looking messages before going to this one....



Then finally



Then I hear music in the background but no imagery and finally get this before the dolphin crash and close message

Do not use Direct3D 9 and do not set the internal resolution to Auto. You need to set EFB copies to RAM (normally the game INI will do this for you, but it will be undone when opening the settings window). You should not be using Disable Destination Alpha and Cache Display Lists. I also don't see any reason to use Disable Fog. Disabling Force Texture Filtering and Anisotropic Filtering will help with the performance, and can also help with graphics issues in some cases, but probably not this one. As usual, I also strongly recommend updating Dolphin.

Hi, I'm playing this game again, with some enhancements : HD texture pack, 3x resolution, 2xSSAA and 16:9 AR hack . I just want to disable the black line that appears everytime y ou talks to a character ( cropping ), only on the native 4:3 area . This is very annoying, it would be nice to enjoy this beauty without this : Thanks

When I get to the section in Chapter 1 where you do the thwomp quiz show, Dolphin consistently crashes when I try to go down the pipe after I finish the quiz show. The game works fine otherwise and I can go down other pipes, it's just this one odd pipe where Dolphin suddenly goes crash happy.

Secondly, I've tried loading the HD texture pack for this game but it doesn't want to load, Dolphin keeps overriding the texture pack for some odd reason. I've ticked on "Load Textures", I've placed the texture pack in the right location, I've named the texture pack correctly, etc. so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Can someone help with these issues? At least the first one since that's the more pressing issue. Thanks in advance to whoever tries to help.

Enable this AR code as well:

0400E3D4 48000070

Also that's a really old version of the texture pack. You might want to update.

What version of dolphin are you using? Your profile says you're using 4.0.1. If that's the case update to the latest development version from here: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

That should fix both your problems.

That's not how it works. This "thanks" was a reply specifically to Invader, not a comment about Dolphin in general.
