Streaming through Discord issues

[Ursa]

Hi, as the title suggests I've recently been trying to stream games through discord to play with friends, but I'm having some very frustrating issues that I'm not quite sure how to fix. What's been happening is I'll start the game up through dolphin, and then begin streaming through discord itself. Most of the time after I begin to stream the stream freezes. Going to restart the stream causes my discord to crash as well as just closing and reopening dolphin while still in the server call causes my discord to crash. I'm coming here about it and not going to discord support due to the fact that this has only happened when using dolphin. The only potential solution I've found that doesn't cause either my dolphin or discord to crash was just running the app as administrator, but that's not been a guaranteed fix. If there are any solutions to this I'd be very grateful for the help.

Have you tried the latest beta of dolphin?

At your suggestion I did try using the latest beta version of dolphin now with this, but it seems to be doing what it was already doing before. The only noticeable difference was the order I started and ended running dolphin and then discord streaming seemed to make a difference for if it was going to crash or not. There were also two errors that the beta version offered me, they're attached as screenshots.

Is this happening with a specific game in Dolphin, or all games? Have you verified that your game dumps are good? Did you make sure to get the latest Intel iGPU and Nvidia GPU drivers installed?

The two games I've tried it with were TTYD and Mario baseball for GC. I'm rather confident both game dumps are good as I've had no issues with either just playing them normally. As for the GPUs I do have the latest drivers to date installed.

There are cases where games run apparently fine even with corrupted files, until you reach certain point. It´s important to check twice.

I'll double check then to make sure the dumps are good! So far the only consistent way to make sure neither my discord or dolphin crashes has been to;

start discord > start dolphin > start rom > then start streaming in server

It seems if I fiddle with the game while it's running things get weird. But for the most part it works fine up until that. There are still some outlier issues where it crashes randomly even if I don't mess with it though. And this has happened on both the stable and latest beta version I've tried.

What backend are you using? Ive had trouble streaming using 3d12 but 3d11 and opengl worked fine. I have not tested vulkan

Ahh, I'm afraid I don't know what that means. If you can explain further I'll look and see to properly answer your question.

Go into your graphics settings, it should be the first setting you see on the first tab. If you need further instructions i will try gather some screenshots.
