LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga - MSAA enabled causes lag. (Update Dolphin wiki?)

[magicmaster667]

So I recently booted up LEGO Star Wars, on Wii, for the Dolphin. (PAL copy, if that matters.) Everything was great until I finished a mission, because the performance dropped significantly. I guess it was around 60% 50% speed or something. Can't remember...

First thing I did was to look up the game's wiki page to see if there was a compatibility setting I needed. The wiki just said that everything should work.

So I did some tinkering with the settings on my Dolphin. - The stuttering occured on the title screen (on slower backends at least), and on the mission select, mission intro & mission clear screens, etc. I.e., the parts with a starry background.

Eventually I fixed it by changing the game's INI settings to diable Anti-Aliasing; [Video_Settings] MSAA = 0 - Now I can run the game at full speed no problem!


So yeah. If there could be a note somewhere that the mission select/mission clear screens stutter when anti-aliasing is enabled, that be pretty swell.

Depending of the game page you visit, you'll find either "This title does not need non-default settings to run properly" or "Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed" text on the Configuration section. Anti-aliasing in Dolphin is disabled by default, thus it's not listed there.

We will cover issues related to enhancement settings, but not performance related ones. Such are too dependent on HW specifics to apply generally / over time.
