Sudden graphics issues - Kr0w93 - 12-17-2015
Hey, all. I'm not quite sure where this thread should go, as I'm new here, so I apologize if this is the wrong place.
I was recently playing Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance with no issues at all. Played it for about 5-6 hours straight and when I got done, I saved both in-game and using two separate save states. I exited to the main menu and closed Dolphin itself.
Now, I'm getting this: http://i.imgur.com/Kvbq4um.jpg
It's like that on the main menu, in-game, etc.
I tried resetting the Emu and loading from both save states, but no luck. I took a quick peek at the graphics settings, but nothing really stood out and I didn't want to mess around without someone recommending I do so.
Google also failed me, so here I am.
Halp?
Oh, and my specs are as follows:
Win 7 x64 bit
Radeon 6870
FX-6300 3.6-3.7(can't remember; it's not overclocked)
8 GB Ram
The version of 'phin I'm running is 4.0-3496 x64.

Have you tried the latest version of dolphin?
RE: Sudden graphics issues - Kr0w93 - 12-17-2015
I'll try that. I don't think that's the issue, as it was working fine earlier, but it's certainly worth a shot.
Sadly, I think it might have something to do with how I closed it.
Update: Well, damn. The graphics are fine now, but I guess the "mem card" is corrupted and it wants to format it. I was hoping to prevent that, because the loss of ~5-6 hours is rough.
Ah, well. Thanks!
Also, I don't know how things are run here, but I'd appreciate if the mods kept this thread open, in case I run into the same issue again.

I think using savestates might be why it corrupted, maybe don't use them next time
(loading that is, saving should be just fine and you could try using it as a last resort).
