dolphin lagging - reeena - 01-18-2023
hello, I've never used a forum before so I'm unsure if I'm doing this right, sorry if I'm not.
I'm very bad with computer stuff, I wanted to download dolphin so that I could play my Wii games with friends at school. When I first downloaded it dolphin ran smoothly and had no issues.
But then I accidentally deleted something (I wanted to clean up my laptop a bit) but it messed it up and it couldn't run anymore so I just deleted everything and redownloaded it.
Now, this is where my problem happens. after I reinstalled it I thought it was working fine but then when I booted it up the game was super slow like it was awful, unplayable :[ I don't know how to fix it, I tried to adjust the settings to reduce lag but I have no idea what I am doing.
I don't know if anyone can help me, I looked around and didn't see anyone else with this issue.

You might have accidentally changed a performance-related option. Without further details I can't say what, but if you go to Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Config and delete all the *.ini files there you'll reset everything to the defaults, see if that helps.
