Why the compatibility downgrade on Xenoblade on the Wiki?

[bomblord]

From what I can tell it should still work fine but the Wiki has had a somewhat recent update listing the compatibility as "Major Crashes or Graphical/Audio Glitches". Has there been a major regression or some other issue? The game used to be sort of a poster boy for Dolphin on various forums so it's weird it's apparently seriously broken. Maybe the issue is something that only appears late game?

Would really like to get to the bottom of this if anyone has some answers. Thanks in advance

I don't know it either. I played the game 3 months ago and it ran perfectly. Did you play it? If yes, have you noticed something? If not I'm going to purge it and edit the rating.

Haven't played it recently (no longer have my Wii and lost all my old dumps a while ago) so sorry I have no way of confirming.

I am testing the game in the next hours. I will use old saves to skip ahead if I need. I will come back to you with the results.

The game randomly crashes right now once every 2 - 40 hours.

Just to inform you:

Quote:Random Crashing
In 5.0-683 or newer, the game will crash randomly (though somewhat infrequently) with an invalid opcode due to GPU desynchronization caused by incorrect interrupt timings. This affects both dual-core and single code mode, no matter what settings are used.

(Xenoblade Chronicles (Problems))

caused this game to get downgraded since the 3-star category has the description:

Quote:Starts: Starts, maybe even plays well, but crashes or major graphical/audio glitches.

(Compatability)

I will still test it and check if this still applys.

Completely randomly? Even if you just let it run in the background?

So what happened there? That's a bit disappointing to hear.
