Help! Dolphin freezes - Mud - 08-19-2020

So every time I try to play a game the picture freezes but the audio continues to play. I've tried a few different versions of dolphin (64x 5.0 Stable version) and also one of the beta ones (don't remember which, sorry) but they all end up freezing a few minutes in. Is this an issue with anybody else? And how do I fix it? I've tried updating my computer as well as updating which dolphin version I use, but nothing seems to work. Help would be appreciated! Huh

Is this happening in a specific game, or all games? If it's a specific game, right click it in Dolphin's game list > Properties > Verify Tab > Verify to make sure that you have a good dump of the game.

If it's all games, make sure you have the latest driver installed for you Intel iGPU. Either check with your manufacturer or get it from Intel's website

So far it's just one game, but in the properties window there is no Verify Tab? Perhaps I've done it wrong in getting it. It does play fine for a few minutes though, and it did play perfectly fine a few months ago.

You have to do it in the the dev builds, its not in the stable version.

Could also be a Windows update that messed with the file or your computer

I've tried everything and it's still freezing (with sound). It's only Harvest Moon Animal parade that does it. I've tried different versions of the game and also different dolphin versions. Sometimes I can play the game for close to an hour before it freezes. Is there anything else that I could try?
