Preloading all the textures included with Legacy TE 2.0 (using unmodded SSBB) doesn't cause any crashes for me. Do I have to do some additional step before it will crash, like going to the part of Legacy TE where the textures are used?

Place the attached file in User\Load\Textures\RSBE01
Use 5.0-3506 or newer.
Set graphics backend to Direct3D 11.
Launch vanilla Brawl (I'm using v1.01)
Go to the stage select screen, and highlight Battlefield (top left). The game should crash.

Okay, thanks. The game crashes for me now. That texture doesn't seem to be included in Legacy TE 2.0 (at least not in the download I got), but Dolphin does crash if I manually put that texture into the Load folder.

Your texture is actually invalid. For compressed textures to be loaded in D3D11, the width/height of the first mip level must be a multiple of the block size (4). The other backends are more lax about this requirement.

I've opened a PR which will prevent Dolphin from loading these textures, and log an error instead. The author of this texture should either resize the texture to be a multiple of the block size, or leave the texture uncompressed.

edit: we could've just decompressed these textures when loading, but since we've dropped SOIL, this is no longer possible without including a DDS decoder in Dolphin.

I'd like to leave this issue open until the textures no longer make the game crash.
