Massive performance issues - Dolphin 4.x new-zelda-hle / 5.0RC19 - masterjoe - 08-20-2015

Hi there,

greetings Gamelings Smile I'm new here but have been a long time fan of Dolphin. It's amazing what you guys have done and I love this emulator very much!! Thank you!!

However trying out the latest builds for Dolphin 5.0RC19 and Dolphin 4.0-7250 new-zelda-hle I encounter severe problems running ANYTHING smoothly?! Huh

The last version which I have been using successfully for a while now is Dolphin 4.0 from Sep 2013. As I have a rather powerful machine (i7-6core, 32GB RAM, GTX 970 4GB) it runs smoothly @ > 30 FPS even at 4x internal resolution and 2560x1440 screen resolution!

However with the lastest builds 5.0RC19 and 4.0-7250 new-zelda-hle I get 5 FPS even when the intro logos are show and no 3D is rendered at all!? It takes forever to even get past the intros!! No matter what setting I have tried so far (OpenGL, Direct3D, 1x resolution, less screen res...) I could not improve the performance which makes testing ANYTHING impossible.

Why is that happening here? I was hoping for IMPROVED performance and now that Huh
Can anyone of you pls help me with these issues? Is there something configured wrongly and if so - what?

Thanks Smile

Change your framelimit setting from 5 fps to Auto. It automatically gets set to 5 fps in the new versions if you had it set to Audio in the old versions.
