When trying to play the bobsleigh minigame of the game Wii Party, the system grinds to a full halt. Nothing responds anymore, I can't even switch to a TTY and I have to power cycle my PC. Other minigames work fine however.

System is Gentoo Linux, Linux 4.14, running on OpenGL on a AMD RX480. The CPU is an AMD R7 1700. I've compiled the latest version of Git from today (27th November 2017).

Try Using Direct3D. It work for me

That is kinda hard on a Linux system.

Dosent Linux have Direct3D? I swear it has.

It's very hard for Dolphin to crash the system itself - it is probably an issue with your graphics drivers and not a fault of Dolphin. Or if Dolphin is doing something wrong, the fact it's crashing your system is still a fault of the driver.

Figuring out what Dolphin is doing to crash the system is important, but, I'm not exactly sure how we could figure it out. Odds are since it works on Windows under both AMD and NVIDIA (OGL for me) that Dolphin isn't doing anything abnormal.

It does not. Only OpenGL and Vulkan are available, as Direct3D comes from DirectX, which is obviously not available.

Makes sense. It's just a bit weird that it always happens with that specific minigame. I'll try a different video render and report back.

Some things can use very specific features. Like, Super Mario Sunshine is one of the only games to use perfqueries.

I Would say just to use RNG Manipulation to not get that minigame (unless your wanting to play it)

Ive had this issue before and was fixed for me by switching the render.

See if you can get it to work by playing around with the settings
