Greetings all.
I've been using Dolphin 4.0-652 to play Project M, a Super Smash Bros Brawl Mode, with netplay. I've been playing for months, but just suddenly I've had problems I never had before.
My problem is that I'm running the game at 60 fps and then, all of a sudden, it can be in the middle of a match, the game frames rate drastically drops and it never goes up to normal (60 fps) during the same session. It can drop to 45fps or to 10 fps. Restarting the emulation resets the fps to 60, but that is a bit inconvenient. The drop can occur after 10 to 30 mins. It occurs offline as well as online (in netplay), so it's not a connection problem.
Begining of the session, everything is fine : http://puu.sh/h1HTf/6cc4b81a50.jpg (FPS shown top left)
And then... : http://puu.sh/h1HUN/584cf12a7c.jpg
I've been doing some tests with no other programs open than Dolphin. My CPU usage is at 80% at most when Dolphin with Project M is running, so it should be fine on that regard.
To set up my Dolphin, I followed the guide here : http://www.smashladder.com/help/windows
Here are the setting I put on Dolphin : http://puu.sh/h1I6g/d816fcf7c5.png
And here are my dxdiag to show my PC comps (sorry my OS is in french, but you should be able to understand, if not tell me and I'll traduce) : http://puu.sh/h1IcN/a1b36b1f3a.png
So I'm at lost here guys. I did several tests and tried different settings but with no results. I also tried to delete Dolphin and Dolphin Settings and re-download it, still no results. At this point, I'm not sure of whats going on, so I'm posting here in hope someone more competent than me could give me some insights.
Thank you for having read my message, and have a good day.
