Sykward Sword PAL unstartable due to to many crashes exiting 3D Vision full screen!

optical10 · 01-01-2012, 05:14 AM #1

Is there any way I can repair my save game as I take it that is the reason its crashing without even loading the Wii mote check screen?
Plus whats the safe way to exit 3D Vision full screen mode to get the Dolphin menu up to stop the emulation and exit Dolphin as alt+enter or ESC hotkeys doesn't work?

Shame to go back to 2D as I was making good progress and loving 3D.

3D works on your system?

Update to the latest revision and tell me if it's still crashing.

You mean the game won't even boot up past the first screen? Well that wouldn't be caused by a corrupt save because you wouldn't even have the opportunity to select a save game to load.

It probably won't help but it's worth a shot, clear out your User/ShaderCache folder.

#1. I thought "Dolphin version: 3.0-235-dirty" was the latest?

#2. Yes crashes to windows desktop.

#3. Will clear it out when I get the solution of full screen exit hotkeys fix as I guess i will corrupt the cache again on task manager exit/close to stop the emulation session.

PS. Thinking it through I could always disable 3D Vision full screen to test cache folder option.

#3. Ok, the clearing of the User/ShaderCache folder in 2D windowed mode sorted the crashing to desktop so thanks, just deed to figure out the "3D Vision Full screen hotkey exit not working/ crashing" issue, anyone any thoughts?

I opened an issue report on GoogleCode for all this a while back. Feel free to update it with mroe info/confirmation of issues. Basically, there's some issues with 3D vision and unfortunately no one has touched it in a year or something. If they see a growing need within the community perhaps they'll dedicate some more time to this.

thank you for your direction on this issue, I've left a supporting post at Google code forum as well.
hopefully if Dolphin-emulator forum member "zelin" here on this thread "3D Vision patch (v2 !!)" Tells us how he has been able to stop emulation and exit full-screen using hotkeys, as he has finished the game in 3-D, we might have a temporary solution.
