Graphics randomly gone wild

[NeonShadowz]

I've been playing Super Smash Bros. Melee on my emulator for a while and never experienced any problems. Then one morning i turned on my computer, played Melee and the graphics looked like if you were to put the monitor into a blender. The game is still completely playable but the graphics make it impossible to enjoy because you can't tell what you're looking at. I don't want to get a new version of Dolphin because i'll lose all the progress I've made in this version.
Here is a video of someone I found that has a similar problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BfM1BnftwM

Good news: you don't lose any data when updating! Dolphin uses a global user directory, so you can use new versions without having to worry about manually updating your save files

Are you launching Dolphin with the Steam overlay enabled or something like that?

I have Steam on my computer but as far as I know, I'm not using it while I use Dolphin. Unless you meant that it runs in the background without my permission

Is there a certain way that I'm supposed to go about updating? Or do I just download any new Dolphin Client

If you're not launching it through Steam, Steam shouldn't affect anything.

Just download it and extract it anywhere. The only exception is if you've been using portable mode by putting a portable.txt file in the Dolphin.exe folder, in which case you will need to copy the User folder manually.

I can't figure out why the save data isn't transfering. I even copied all of the folders from my old version of dolphin and put them into the new download folder

Post a picture of the old folder and a picture of the new folder.

[NeonShadowz]

The newer one is one the left

The only ones of those folders that are supposed to be there are Languages and Sys. The other ones look like they were moved from C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Dolphin Emulator, where they're supposed to be.
