Emulator

Can you please give some steps on how you reproduce this?

Are you using freelook at all or are you just running the game normally? Are you running without vsync?

I am pretty confident I know what the issue is and have fixed it in my later PRs but want to confirm via some testing.

No, I'm not using freelook (it's disabled); I just load and play the game normally at 3x IR (1920x1584) - 1080p, no anti aliasing, AF 1x and no vsync

Thanks for the steps. My machine never goes above 60fps when running with no vsync, so it's hard for me to reproduce. Can you check https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/8883 to see if it fixes your issue?

Unfortunately PR8883 doesn't fix the problem, max speed is the same (near 170%)

P.S. seems strange to me that you can't get above 60 fps (unless you have a somewhat old PC); anyway with vsync on or off I get the same speed (170%) when I use TAB key to disable emulator speed (limit)

Thanks. I was not using the disable emulation speed toggle :)

I'm using a different game (opening of "The Last Story") but having issues reproducing your problem. I ran the following:

• 5.0-12031 - ~110 FPS
• 5.0-12036 - ~110 FPS

I used the exact same settings in both builds.

Would you be able to provide a small fifolog of the issue you are seeing?

Here's the Fifo logs for SMG with 5.0-12031 and 5.0-12036 both with speed limiter set at 200%

I see some minor differences in performance but it seems to fluctuate a lot and I'm not sure if this is just some kind of placebo or I'm seeing numbers where there aren't any.

I'd love to see a situation/game where I can see a huge difference consistently.

Thank you for the fifologs. Please try https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/8884 to see if it fixes your issue.

Yes, 8884 fixes the issue
Thanks

Now that PR8884 has been merged, you can close this issue (btw I don't understand why I don't have such option, but anyway...)
