Emulator

I agree that it could very well be a driver issue, however, I haven't seen any other programs have this sort of issue yet, only Dolphin.

I'll probably end up filing a bug against Mesa too, I don't think I have enough information to do so yet.
Is there any way I can track down where / why Dolphin is freezing?

Unfortunately Dolphin doesn't seem to notice anything wrong based on your logs.

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Emulation starts off with occasional stuttering and then freezes entirely within a few minutes. The GUI is still responsive, however attempting to stop emulation will lock up the GUI as well as it tries to stop the emulation.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Happens every time after a few minutes. May be triggered by amount of objects / effects being rendered, as the freeze sometimes happens during graphically intense scenes (firing weapons w/ lighting & particle effects, etc.)

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

5.0-7698

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Yes. 5.0

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
OS: Debian buster/sid, Linux kernel 4.16.0-1-amd64
CPU: AMD A12-9720P
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 Graphics; Mesa 18.0.3 AMDGPU driver
8GB RAM

This issue started when upgrading Mesa to 18.0.3. If I downgrade to the previous version (17.3.9) the issue is resolved.

I've also filed a bug report against the Debian dolphin-emu package: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=899353

having same issue here.

Could you at least tell us your specs so we can narrow this down?

I have the same issue.

Running dolphin on :

• debian testing
• mesa 18.0.5-1
• radeon hardware (amdgpu + radeonsi)

For what it's worth, I have the same issue too.

• Debian Stretch (with backports)
• mesa 18.1.6-1~bpo9+1
• amdgpu (Radeon RX 550)

Dolphin version 5.0+dfsg-1+b1

Dolphin consistently freezes within the first 1-5 minutes of emulation (usually closer to 1). Dolphin becomes completely unresponsive and I have to force quit it.

Again only Dolphin seems to be affected, no other software that I've encountered.

Also confirmed that the bug was not present with Mesa downgraded to 17.3.9. With that one difference to my system, I did not get a single freeze (I played for over 20 minutes to test).

Game I'm testing with is Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Happy to provide any further info.

Unfortunately Dolphin doesn't seem to notice anything wrong based on your logs.

I think that this is related to some hardware/firmware/kernel issue.

We seem to have a similar laptop :)
I also have AMD A12-9720P processor. Along with a AMD Radeon R7 integrated card and the RX 540 dedicated graphics card.

I tried using both dolphin-emu defaults, and 'DRI_PRIME=1 dolphin-emu' (otherwise dolphin and some other programs will not use your dedicated card), but even if DRI_PRIME=1 provides better performance, dolphin will hang after some time. It'll hang faster if I use antialias or any other tweak with possible graphic impact.

IME this hardware is far from working correctly with debian stable, I would recommend to use the latest mesa/firmware/kernel to discard that possibility.
At the moment I don't have an external drive to try different configurations with different distros, in a few weeks I may.
This doesn't seem to be related to dolphin itself, for example I can't reproduce this hanging issue with the same laptop using mesa 13 and kernel 4.9 from stable, but my laptop will experience other issues like very slow emulation, the fan working incorrectly, along with other issues related with frozen code that didn't used to support newer hardware (graphic, wireless etc), back then amdgpu wasn't even an option, and mostly important polaris12.bin wasn't included on the firmware, wish I very much recommend to use if you have an RX500/550 series graphics card.
ATM I'm using kernel 4.18.6 and Mesa 18 from backports, but like I said, far from getting this laptop to work correctly overall.

If anyone can test ubuntu and the AMDGPU-PRO drivers it would be great, I'll do that later.
My laptop seems to work just fine with Fedora or Arch, but I haven't tested gaming on those distros yet.

Forgot to add that journald reports this during the dolphin's short emulation
dec 16 17:18:38 debian kernel: [drm] PCIE GART of 256M enabled (table at 0x000000F400000000).

It seems to hang after amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: GPU pci config reset

Just upgraded from mesa 18.1.9 to mesa 18.2.6 and the bug is gone for me.

I can confirm. Latest Mesa release appears to fix it. Thanks for testing that!
