Crash when starting a game or opening gfx settings - oblivion254 - 12-14-2022
Hello I recently updated my dolphin to the latest 5.0-17269 and it was crashing upon starting a game, it had just recently updated via an in app message so I restarted and it worked the next time. I closed my game and started trying to play again but it crashed upon starting. Opening the graphics settings does the same thing, I wanted to change a setting there to see if it fixed my crashing but, it did not work. Any help in trying to fix this is appreciated.
I have tried re-installing, deleting cache, running in compatibility mode so far.

A crash like that is usually related to some misbehaving driver...
Without more details I can't say much, if you can give us some more info (like a crash dump or stacktrace) maybe I can guess at the problem better.

If you go to the Event Viewer that might also have some useful details. (right-click the Start button on Windows -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application)
