Loading Save Sates crashes Dolphin

Hey everyone. Running the Mac OSX version of the latest dolphin, and my problem is just what the title says! Any ideas?? I have LLE Audio enabled.

Savestates are really unreliable. You should avoid them as often as possible and use in-game saves.
You mentioned LLE: if you made your savestate with HLE and then switch to LLE it's probably the source of your crash

Hm, that's what I always hear. Why are they an option if they are so unreliable? They would crash regardless of my changes to HLE/LLE.

Thanks for your input! Have a good new years

Because they are not nearly as unreliable as people here make them out to be (unless you're using them by the thousands, you probably won't even notice any issues with them normally). What exact version are you using? Save states were broken on mac for a while, but that should be fixed now.

Well I was using version 3.0! Oops. Upgraded and they work fine. For now! Thanks for the response and clearing that up for me.

Oh, yeah, 3.0's save states were really really bad.
