Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

There's a memory leak playing Metroid Prime. DX9, Widescreen Hack, 2.5x Resolution, 16x AS, Vsync ON, everything else default, however I fiddled with the settings a nice lot and there was no change.



It depends on which area. The most problematic one is Magmoor Caverns. Dolphin wouldn't stop eating RAM when I was on that level for a while, until the game started stuttering like crazy.
I must say that I'm already past that part, and as long as I don't stray for too long on Magmoor, Dolphin seems to not eat that much RAM.

My machine specifications are on my signature.

can you please send me a save in the area where you detected the memory leak so i can debug the error?

updated the latest folder witha new version. please test if the issues reported by @Panchito and @hyperspeed with the included version of dolphinfx still remain, and if the reported memory leak by @warmbaguettes is solved

Tino, the error persists issues reported by @Panchito and @hyperspeed in all games in new version. Ex: FZero-GX, Sonic Unleashed, Super Paper Mario, etc...

Greetings.

Using the default configuration plus the OpenGL/D3D11 driver with no settings changed. I stopped getting the crash messages when trying to load a game, now I get a black screen, I can hear the music in the background and the game registers input but all I see is a black screen. When I tried opening the DolphinFX config screen I got this message:



If I press cancel I can still go into the config dialog and change things and the message won't appear again as long as I don't close the emulator, so, I noticed the problem apparently lies within two of the default shaders, although I've yet to try the others.

Default DolphinFX settings:



With only Blended Bloom enabled:



With only Scene Tonemapping enabled:



And finally with Colour Correction:




With C.C only it seems to be working ok. As I said, I've yet to try the other shader options in DolphinFX, please take note that this issues only come up with Dolphin FX, for the rest Ishiiruka works just fine.

updated with a new version, errors reported with dolphinfx and geometryshadergen should be fixed

Sorry I completely forgot about this!

When I pass through Magmoor again I'll try and save the Memory Card. I must say tho, you have to stay for a long time in the area. I'm guessing the leak happens because of the shader generation.

Tino, here's the Memory Card with a save in Magmoor Caverns

The sectors "Lava Lake" and "Triclops Pit" seem to be the most problematic, I just was there for no more than 30 minutes and the stuttering started, Dolphin was eating around 4GB of RAM.

EDIT:

This is after half an hour in Magmoor Caverns' Transport Tunnel A trying to get the hidden Energy

Yup, no error messages whatsoever so far, so it seems that did it, at least on my setup, I hope others can say the same.

Congratulations and thanks a lot your efforts.

Cheers.
