Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I meant 4.0 201, as released several hours ago.
64-bit.
Can't get DC to work.

It was crashing for me in Dualcore a long time ago. I reinstalled windows and it stopped happening.

Performance and stability seem to have taken a hit again. I have dropped ~10fps and the game always crashes approx 5 secs into a race.

After back tracking through way too many revisions I have found the following commit to cause the problem:

4.0-217

Commit : 6798a4763e9c879a3e2ace6da26527e533c66aa4

Description:

VideoCommon: revert the ViewPort changes

xfregs isn't written when calling this function, so we have to use such an invalid flag :-(

If someone could make a dev aware it would be appreciated.

I am currently using Linux Mint 15.

Thanks.

The easiest way to make a dev aware of the impact would be to make a comment in the commit page.

what are you talking about? i have an i5 3570k and i get constant 60 except for the machine select menu. in game is flawless for me. you must be doing something wrong.

How's it running in the latest build?

I notified the dev of this issue. 4.0-481 has a fix if you want to test it.

Many thanks for this. I can confirm that full performance and stability have been restored (Tested 4.0-482).

Out of interest, how did you raise a comment on the commit? Skid suggested it earlier but I could not find any option to add it? Do you require a google code account?

People with NVIDIA graphics cards; it seems as though OpenGL doesn't have the reset bug on certain hardware configurations even on dualcore. If any other users cold confirm this, please let me know.

Hmm, sounds like encouraging news.
