Emulator

As soon as i revert to the build before this the problem is gone on my end. What could be causing this? Even with a completely fresh install on this build i can reproduce this.

Have you tried a portable install to ensure it's 100% fresh?

I can't really offer any groundbreaking advice here, so here are some things to check:

• Where is your Dolphin installation stored? Internally or Externally? And on what kind of drive? (SSD or HDD)
• Where are your games stored (might be the same as above)? Internally or Externally? And on what kind of drive? (SSD or HDD)
• Have you tried installing Dolphin to a new directory (make sure to not just override the files in your existing install) AND creating a portable.txt file so your global settings aren't used? (I think you might've already done this, so just check)
• How long is the delay exactly?

Dolphin is installed on my m.2 c drive along with the documents folder. I've done fresh installs of the documents folder and the install folder. Games are stored on my internal HDD, everything is internal. My global settings were not used.

Only this build and up am i affected.

Try moving a single game to your SSD and only add that to your game list and see if anything changes.

Yeah i copied 11 games to my m.2 and moved the install location of dolphin no change.

I can reproduce the issue. I do have Dolphin and my games on a harddisk but versions before the Qt 5.14.1 merge don't have the issue. W10, 5 3600

Yeah i can reproduce this on my other rig as well. Other emulators that use this version of Qt like RPCS3 don't have any issues for me like this.

It seems to happen very rarely with a small game list, and happens occasionally with a larger one. The delay is about a quarter to a half of a second.

I found this problem as well. The CodeView in the debugger can have a random right-click lag of 0.5 to 1.5 seconds for me. However, it is usually not bad, it just randomly takes way too long to open. When it is opening slowly, it partially fades in (normal for opening a context menu), stops for awhile, then continues.

I tracked the issue a bit deeper, but it's quite weird. Pairing old dolphin installs with new and old QT builds, gives the following:

Old QT installation (from 10938 files):
10931 - no lag
10938 - no lag

New QT installation (Qt 5.14.1):
10931 - no lag
10938 - lag exists while right clicking around, every 5-20 clicks randomly.

Most recent builds - it lags way more often.

As far as I can tell 10938 somehow introduces context menu lag while using Qt 5.14.1. I tried to revert the changes in 10938, on top of a recent dolphin build-12247, then tested on 5.14.1, but it still lagged.

This seems to be fixed by Qt 5.15.
