Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

1) you need to clean your computer vents. This could be causing it to be unable to vent air, causing thermal throttling to keep it at 57 degrees since it can't go any higher. To fix this/rule it out, get a can of compressed air, and with your computer off, blow it into your fan intake. Make sure you're near a garbage can.

2) The thermal paste on your computer is going bad and can't transfer heat, causing thermal throttling, etc. This may be harder to diagnose/fix. Google how to replace paste for your computer.

3) Go to Intel's driver downloads page and get the latest driver for your Intel HD 4000 iGPU.

4) Run Dolphin in portable mode and see if that helps

You forgot the easiest fix: Try to check if the power options are still at High performance  if that is not the case, put it there

I assume he did.

I'm suffering some a sever slowdown in Twilight Princess. I don't know why it would be slowing down as the system I have should EASILY be able to play this without breaking a sweat.
My system:
i56600 CPU
RX 480 GPU
and 16 GB of RAM.

I think it's the emulator itself. is there any known option i can use in the settings to fix this issue?

Enable the Hyrule Field Speed Hack in the Patches tab of the game properties if you haven't already.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I do that?

Right click game > properties > patches

Not seeing patches. Am I doing it wrong?

Downloading games is against the Forum Rules (the name of your .gcm file is a dead giveaway...)

Just tried it again right now and everything is running at it's normal speed even when my laptop is unplugged, and I didn't even do anything. Strange. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

I'm unable to dissemble my laptop to clean it due to it being a pesky Gateway model, but I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you so much for the help guys!
