Yeah no kidding. Have you looked at the fifo code? Nobody understands it, nobody. And the lack of documentation and comments certainly doesn't help. Skid is probably our only hope since he seems to always be pulling off miracles out of nowhere.
I guess Marcos is reluctant to take a look at it again?
Yeah, Skid could do it, I guess...with lots of work. But he hasn't been very active for Dolphin lately, has he? Haven't been in the IRC channel for months so I dunno if he's even still "around".

Marcos disappeared off the face of the planet as soon as 7185 was committed. I guess he felt his work was done, or something got in the way in his real life.

No he hasn't. He has been busy with real life stuff, which is great for him, sucks for us Tongue.

I'm not sure if the problems I'm experiencing are these FIFO issues, I think my problem may be unrelated ... I'm still getting the WER errors though.
@charliechip95: Since you seem to be the only one getting those, I'm guessing something's wrong with your system.

It'd be strange if it were a problem with my system itself, because it plays other games fine (Portal 2, Minecraft, Limbo etc). But it may be a compatibility issue with my system and Dolphin. I'm wondering if perhaps Dolphin has some issues running on Windows 7 too (?), because I'm not the only one experiencing this kind of issue and most people having the problems are running Windows 7:

Would you suggest a re-install of the operating system or something?
Well, the fact that other games work fine doesn't mean anything for Dolphin. It works different, needs specific runtimes n stuff. Many people have Windows 7 (I do, too) and most of them don't have this issue. Of course the RANDOM crashes are something else...that's what this thread is about.
Hm, since you say you already installed new drivers, runtimes and directX, I'm at a loss...reinstalling windows SHOULD help in this case, but I cannot guarantee anything, of course. Maybe it's some rare hardware-specific incompatibility, but I don't think so.

We're not talking about LLE on thread, we're just trying to pinpoint the cause.

StripTheSoul: As you know I'm retrying my games on 3.0 but also in other revisions if it can help you r6505/r7128/r7280/r7442/r7590

Edit : Lapsus I meant SMG of course Tongue
SMG starts on 3.0 too, that's not what I'm talking about. We're talking about random crashes.

Will try it anyway and post the results ASAP.
I can't tell about random crashes because I usually play only for short periods of time (maximum 30 min), but I don't understand if you're experiencing those crashes only on 64-bit builds or on 32 bit too?
I dunno, I'm using 64bit...anyone with 32bit here?
