[GUI] Loading crash - ShadowFX - 11-23-2009

I've been observing how Dolphin seems to crash consistently here when loading a (same or other random) game the second or third time. Eventually it seems that when I use OpenGL this happens, while using the DX9 plugin it doesn't. The same crash log is created each time:

Code:
Unhandled Exception
  Code: 0xC0000005
Call stack info:
     0x69ABA2CA : ?
     0x699B1DE0 : ?

I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX285 with the latest drivers. For me, this behavior has been around for as long as I can remember (SVN).
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm curious to know what's causing this.

Just a FYI. Giving your video card is not enough information of computer specs.
I say this since there are problems per OS and 32/64 bit of OS etc etc

For instance if you on Windows xp 32 bit and get these crashes second or third time try turning on "panic handlers". If you see a error "No Possible Memory base Pointer found." then you will be suffering from Issue 1624. Just a example that you should state more information so people can help you better. http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=1624&sort=-id

To your Question.
I don't think this is issue 1624. For me personally, Dolphin has always had problems when starting a second or third game after shutting down a game. Just exit and restart dolphin and start the game you want to play. Its just a kink in dolphin. Probably issues on this somewhere in the issue google pages.

That crash is totally random , sometimes it happens when you stop the game , others at the third time or sometimes it never happens . I have it when I close the emulator ( lol? )


RE: [GUI] Loading crash - ShadowFX - 11-23-2009

It's not random at all, at least not here. Oh, and Panic Handlers doesn't make a difference, it crashes without a warning of some kind (just the created log).
I should have posted more specs indeed so here it goes:

- Windows XP x86 SP3
- Intel E8500 @ 3.16GHz
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX285
- Dolphin R4600

Well if no one is able to shed some light on this, I probably have to wait until more (known) crashes are solved.
Thanks in advance to anyone that is able to help.
