Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I haven't played in about a month but recently I tried running Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and the frame rates dropped to about 30% max (game runs at 60 fps). It was fine before, running on Dolphin 4.0-7840. I thought updating it to 5.0 would fix it, but it does not. It also crashes when I try to resize the window. What are some things I should look for in my computer?

Umm, nevermind, it seems to have solved itself on its own. I think it might have had something to do with the number of icons i had on my desktop...

More likely it was the shader cache building itself when it first encountered a shader in the game. The next time it encountered that shader it just read from the cache instead of gnerating from scratch.
