Rapid screenshots freeze or crash Dolphin. This issue did not occur in WX.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Proceed to Brawl's Brawl mode character select screen
  2. Press the screenshot hotkey as rapidly as possible
  3. Dolphin should freeze or crash within ~20 screenshots

Appears to be a Qt regression.

Technically it won't happen in latest master... unless you enable the debug GUI.

Also happens when holding the frame advance key. Like JMC just mentioned, 5.0-10607 makes it so that it only happens if you have the debugger enabled, but this isn't a proper fix for the issue.

Dolphin doesn't necessarily always freeze or crash from the testing I've done, but the GUI gets unresponsive due to the large number of backlogged EmulationStateChanged events, and sooner or later you usually get an "Unable to resolve read address" panic alert with the following stack trace:

Actually, the screenshot situation does not seem to be improved much by 5.0-10607. I was assuming it was similar to the frame advance situation and didn't actually test the screenshot situation.

The PR fixes the issue for me but not the issue reporter, so... Let's mark it as questionable for now, I guess?

Checked again for good measure. Reproduced in 5.0-11274.

Can you test again in 5.0-13915. That revision has got a different model to way to check that it's thread safe to perform the screenshot.

If it works there try the revision immediately prior as well.

I am unable to reproduce this issue in 5.0-17214, using RSBE01 revision 2 (52ce7160ced2505ad5e397477d0ea4fe).

Unable to reproduce as well just starting up a game and holding screenshot, this is likely fixed.
