Hi,
I've been happily enjoying Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door on Dolphin for a while. When I first started, I had the glitchy animations with paper mode but I managed to fix that by changing to Direct3D 11 and disabling bounding box (I think I used OpenGL before that). Since then I've not encountered any major issues. However recently I have been having a problem where whenever I play the shadow queen cutscene, the game crashes at this point (where the Shadow Queen is about to strike Grodus with lightning). I've played this cutscene on the same PC and on the same version of dolphin (5.0 - 13603) and this hasn't happened, including a couple of times where I've somehow gotten past since this issue started, but for the most part the game crashes whenever this cutscene happens. I've tried running as admin, running in compatibility mode, and countless options in the graphics settings tab (I don't really know what most of them do) but I can't figure out a combination that will consistently make this happen.
I don't seem to have this problem in version 5.0 but I'd very much like to fix it on the dev build because it's much more optimised and my PC is not extremely powerful (good enough for most games with native resolution.)
I also get the same error some other graphics effects, those I've identified so far:
- Jumping on a Lava bubble
- Hammering a Lava bubble
- (Possibly anytime a lava bubble takes damage)
- The explosion at the end of "Showstopper"
I named this thread after the shadow queen graphics problem because that's the only one I've identified which strictly gets in the way of beating the main story.
My specs:
