Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi folks,

When I play games with Dolphin (also original computer games) textures start to flicker when the camera zooms out in game (they show up and disappear very fast)

I've uploaded a short video on youtube to show you what I mean..
I took a video of the Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker shortly before link has to fight against Molgera, the symbol on that stone starts to flicker always when the camera zooms out, if it's close by it's not flickering.. this phenomenon appeard almost a month ago, I tried to upload new drivers for my video card but nothing helped ...

I uploaded a video of Molgera fight once again, before this issue occurred :

I also found another video on youtube where you can see it very well:

Do you have 'Pixel Depth' checked in the graphics config? I haven't gotten that far into the game, but it definitely helped with the edges of the ocean...

I think you mean that video of gta 4, this isn't from me, I just posted it to you to see what i mean ...

I'm talking about Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, as played in Dolphin. That GTA video wasn't there when I posted, and i'm not sure what it has to do with anything. Any apparent glitches in that video are more LOD-related.

Did you try Pixel Depth? Just an idea.

Disable Catalyst AI.

nope doesn't help

As has been stated several times just use a recent revision and turn on pixel depth.

doesn't help, and i said not only on dolphin, also computer games where you surely won't have that pixel depth option ..

I don't believe you mentioned that directly but whatever. If that is the case then the most likely causes are catalyst AI or improper AF. Since you already tried disabling catalyst AI try turning AF on or off and see if it makes a difference. Also try different drivers.

The issue is obviously your video card drivers or hardware and not Dolphin if this issue is also present in PC games.
