I grabbed that bisection tool already, its just that it takes between 45-60 mins before it starts doing it.  Its going to take me awhile to bisect, ill report my findings once im done.

Im reviving and updating this thread...I have started bisecting and I am all the way down to 958 where the issue still exists, I noticed a few things.  On 5207 using vulkan it will go just about an hour before it starts getting nuts.  When it starts to degrade it will register inputs that were never made or simply be very laggy on the inputs that are.  The sound starts stuttering out of control and sometimes even cuts out.  When this started I pulled up my temperature monitor and all temps on all cores of cpu and gpu are well within safe operating range.  Im hoping to have and exact build number in the next day or so.  Any suggestions in the meantime would be great.

I found where the problem begins! It happens between versions 867-881. It has something to do with the real Wiimote settings. I tested this with the newest version of the emulator 5234 and i set all the wiimotes to none and the problem disappeared. Only issue is that obviously this is no good for the Wii side of things. How do I let the Devs know what's going on so they can look into it? Also as an FYI I'm using the dolphinbar for the wiimote connections and then setting all 4 wiimote controllers to real wiimote and the GameCube settings are set to GameCube adapter for wiiu. Hope this helps find a solution for the problem! Any other info needed just let me know.

I have to admit that I am quite embarrassed that I dont know what you want me to do with the link.  It is obvious that that is where the error is, but does that mean it will be fixed in the next build or does it mean you need me to submit something?  Let me know please.

Yeah, unless you build it yourself the PR source itself isn't too useful.

But we do have an automatic build for every PR so you can just download that and give it a go

For windows:
https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/pr-5972-dolphin-latest-x64.7z

Running that and letting us know if it helps would be useful, thanks.
