Full Version: Odd OpenGL error.

I keep getting a really odd openGL error in numerous revisions from 3990-5993.

When I run a fresh install of dolphin openGL runs fine once until I get a crash. (I always get crashes when I close/stop dolphin with all the graphic plugins.)

Once i've had a crash or close in dolphin openGL stops working when I try running dolphin again.

I get a Black screen/semi OS freeze & a ati error that my display driver has stopped working and recovered.

Rebooting does not clear the problem, No dolphin settings seem to provoke or clear the error. (I tried them all one at a time on a fresh install)

The only way to clear the problem is to delete dolphin, reboot, reinstall dolphin and I get one go at it.

Deleting dolphin & reinstalling dolphin does not clear the problem without a reboot in between.

I ran a diag on my card and system with no problems, DX39/11 works great.


Any ideas?

Win7
ATI 4870x2
8G ram
Intel core 2 duo.
Games problem experienced.
Punch out/ NSMB / Capcom vs tatsunoko.

I'm all updated. Tried installs just to be sure.
have you installed your video card's latest drivers?
plus DX9/11 is faster than OpenGL anyways....

Really no Joke I'm all updated Smile

I know their faster usually but I heard it through the grape vine Punch out doesn't have as many audio bugs under OpenGL.

But since it wont start after the first time I close it haven't really had a chance to play with the settings.
