[Wii] Xenoblade Chronicles

[thadis]

Hello, I am trying out this game but I am getting a lot of sound stutterings and everything. I know this is a common problem but before doing to much trouble shooting I want to know if I should even be able to run this game on my current setup. I have no modes or anything added to it and I am trying to do the most basic run without any upresing or anything. Thank you!

Operating System: Windows 7x64
Processor/CPU: AMD Phenom IIX6 1065T, 2.9 GHz
Video Card/GPU: AMD Radon HD 6700 Series
Memory/RAM: 8 GB
Dolphin Revision Currently Using: Dolphin 4.0.2
Sex: Undisclosed
Downloading Games is against the rules:
I'd rather not be banned, so I won't talk about downloading games
Are you using Dolphin 3.5-367?:
I am using a Dolphin version from the official website https://dolphin-emu.org/

Your CPU is weak. Try to at least overclock it at 3,5GHz and efb to ram.

The Phenom II x6 1065T isn't a Black Edition, it has a locked multiplier so depending on the mobo BIOS, overclocking may either be not supported or too risky.

You should get a turbo boost of up to 3.4 GHz if using 3 cores or less(Dolpin only uses 2). Check your settings and see if it's kicking in or not. That CPU is weak when using few cores though so you're still going to have limitations. Xenoblade is a fairly demanding game.

Well, my computer can play it at fullspeed, but it's an intel...
First of all, make sure you're using the latest Dolphin dev. version: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/list/master/1/?nocr=true
Also, do you have the PAL or NTSC version? Because the NTSC version plays at 30 FPS, the PAL version at 25 FPS (although you can patch it to also show 30 FPS). So, for a slow computer, it's actually better to have the PAL version because it can more easily reach fullspeed.
If, after using the latest dev build, you are still struggling for speed, you could also try the Ishiiruka build. Just keep in mind that it's an unofficial build, so don't ask for support anywhere else outside of its own thread: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-ishiiruka-dolphin-custom-version

I download the newest Dolphin dev build yesterday and things seem to be running much smoother. Still get some drops that are annoying down to around 20 fps but for the most part I am up at 30 fps and only a few quick drops when I pull of a bigger attack.

That's probably going to be inevitable unfortunately. Just update to the newest dev build every so often and you might see a little better performance as more optimization is done.

Hello, Fellas!

I used to play this game back with my AMD FX8120, but its FPS wasn't very good, especially in battles. So, I decided to wait until I got a better CPU.

Well, almost 2years later, this day came, and I decided to pick it up again with my brand new Rig, and now I have the opposite problem...

It runs too fast. 60fps, audio almost inaudible in stuttering, with random slowdowns while in battle.

The settings are almost all at default, except for:

Render: OpenGL
Internal Resolution: Auto (Multiple of 640x528)

I tried limit the fps to 25 (im using the non-patched ISO), but the audio still stutters like hell.

I'm using the latest devel build.

What can I do?

Did you enable vbeam speedhack? Disable it.

Perfect! Working like a charm now! TYVM!

The slowdowns stopped as well! Thats a Nice bonus. Thought I had to get used to them!

Hi, gtx 680 2gb sli, 3770k @4.5, 16gb 1800mhz ddr3

So, does dolphin support the lle on separate thread through game ini?
What about openmp/opencl?
