Dolphin crashes when I play some games. - xxtrgaxx - 07-30-2015
My laptop would play them fine before but for some reason it keeps crashing.
When I start playing legend of zelda twilight princess when I load my file it crashes...ALWAYS.
When I play resident evil zero it crashes when I check the map.
If it helps I recently updated to Windows 10. <<<<(Honestly I think this is the problem...) It worked perfectly fine before this.
EDIT: I am currently using Dolphin 4.0-7133

I had the same problem when the update to W10 was done, then I figured out what was the problem: the shader cache. Maybe you should try to rebuild your shader cache of dolphin (by deleting the folder). It is located in My Documents/Dolphin Emulator. I don't know why, but it worked for me.
I hope this helps!

Same, I can only use OpenGL for it to work. But my GPU doesn't like it.
The fix however didn't work for me.

probably not a SC issue. and these games worked before you updated your windows version? you said you're using the newest(ish) version of Dolphin, could the problem have arose when you updated Dolphin?

Yes it worked before I updated my Windows version. It was still doing the same when I was one of the versions in the 4.0-5000 range (can't remember which one.)

I tried this, but I might end up doing this again since nothing else is working at the moment.

Please try what Kirbypuff has advised, then report back-if you need NVidia drivers look here http://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers/results/86574/nvidiaupdate:
- Install the latest Win10 drivers for your GPU (v15.7.1 WHQL) from AMD's official web site: http://support.amd.com/
- Use the latest development build of Dolphin: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/list/master/1/

I believe the problem comes from Dolphin, not from Windows 10, not from the drivers. In my opinion it's just the fact that DirectX 12 came with the new OS. I upgraded to Windows 10 the day it came out, but didn't tamper with my drivers. Before I updated my drivers, D3D was working fine on Dolphin. The next day I updated my graphics drivers (the new ones are for Windows 10, the old ones for Windows 7) and now the same crash you're all talking about happens. The PC games I have from before the upgrade (when I still had Windows 7) still work fine. So, I think it's just a setting on Dolphin that the developers need to change, or a small addition that they'll include in the next builds, just to prevent the crash.
Don't take me seriously however, I'm not a programmer...

Have you tried downloading the drivers on manufacturer's page?
