Black blinking with OpenGL? - Intruso - 01-21-2016
When I run games on OpenGL mode I see some black blinking. It's specially frequent when I hit the turbo button,but it also happens in the normal play (I noticed more in Mario Golf).
Does anyone else suffer this bug?
-DirectX3D works fine.
-If I set XFB to real the problem disappear.
-If I run Dolphin with my Intel gpu instead of NVidia's, the problem disappears.
My GPU's drivers are updated.
My laptop specs: i5 4210M (2.6GHz) CPU, Geforce 820M GPU & Intel HD4600, 4GB RAM, Windows 10 x64.
Last build.
I can live without OpenGL mode, but I'd like find a solution to this becouse that front-end goes a little faster than DirectX3D

What build are you on? 4.0.2 stable or the latest dev build?
RE: Black blinking with OpenGL? - Intruso - 01-21-2016
Latest dev build

I play a little with Smash Bros Brawl. It has some blinking in 60hz more and a became much more infrequent on 50hz.
I think this bug is related with the framerate.
I don't know if this is a bug of the latest Nvidia driver and OpenGL, the Optimus technology or that Dolphin's frontend.

Today I tried to install an older version of the drivers and the bug dissapear.
It looks like the version **361.43** and higher causes this. (I will stay in 359.06)
I'm sure this is a bug of NVidia and not of Dolphin, but I think the devs will want to investigate this.

Nvidia just pushed new driver, version 361.75. Does the issue still happen with you? I haven't had any issues with 361.43, and none now either.

I got the new driver and now all works perfectly.
