I'd like to share a little bit of my one month jorney trying to use Dolphin with MH3
on integrated graphics with you.
Configuration
i3-3110M 2.4 GHz, 4GB
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Game: Monster Hunter 3
Issue:
(1)Toggling fullscreen failure
Works the first or second time, and
then stops working on Direct3D 11.
The screen remains in Fullscreen mode,
despite attemps to return to window mode.
Solution: ? One has to stop dolphin to leave fullscreen mode.
(2)With Fullscreen sometimes the black empty borders get "tainted" with the graphics
as the screen stretches from window mode.
Solution: Start Dolphin again.
(3)The game runs at 30 FPS's with little variation under such settings
with the ocasional dip which seldom manisfests nouticiably on the screen
even with lots of enemies. Underwater fight is fine. Fullscreen with
little black borders.
Strange FPS drop:
Sometimes the game starts with bad FPS: 24~27, and ocasional rise to 30ish.
For example, before that the game runs smoothly, but when dolphin is booted up
it starts with this difference in performance.
Solution: Going from Fulscreen to Window Mode and back again corrects the
problem reestablishing the FPS to solid 30's.
(4) Bad performance on Intel HD 4000
Around a month ago I decided to give another chance for the integrated graphics and test dolphin on it.
FPS was very bad under Windows 8.1 and Dolphin 5.0, but after instaling the last Graphics update from intel
the game runs fine. Download the driver for Intel® HD Graphics 4000. I prefer the ziped version instead
of the installer version with which I had problems instaling for some reason.
Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows* [15.33]
Version: 15.33.46.4885 (Latest) Date: 1/3/2018 (---- NEW VERSION
(5) Controler settings. Newbies may have some issues with the settings, and end up giving up.
Maybe introduce a "guided config", step by step for controlers like with Epsxe. Or force people to read
the wiki, before playing.
Look at my controler configuration. I leave every button as dummy except the
extension buttons. When I began I had no idea I could do this. I also had no idea I could delete the button by
pressing the right mouse button.
Thx for the emulator.
