Hi,

Recently I've been playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GameCube) through Dolphin 4.0-8814. I've noticed that whenever the emulator has to render water, the texture is confused with several gray lines and triangles (see attached picture). To test out a theory, I downgraded to Dolphin 4.0 (the latest stable build for my OS) and the glitch was gone. I considered staying with 4.0, but the latest version (4.0-8814) runs the game much faster. Is there a way I can either fix this glitch, or request that the bug be fixed?

Thanks, I look forward to your response(s).

This is known issue with your osx and there is currently no fix for it.  It's been reported several times in the forums

It looks to be a conflict with the dev builds and El Capitan, because the older versions of Dolphin work fine. I'm sure it will be fixed eventually, it's just a waiting game then I suppose.
It's not an issue with Dolphin, it's a driver bug, so, unless Apple releases fixed GPU drivers it's veeery unlikely this glitch will get fixed. Currently the only workaround is running Dolphin on Windows through Boot Camp because you won't experience that bug when running through Windows...
This was thought to be unsolvable for a long time, but there is actually a fix in progress. https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/3570
