Emulator

go to %localappdata%\CrashDumps in file explorer. There should be files like dolphin.exe.XXXX.dmp there. Find the most recent one (generated from when you ran 5.0-17150), compress the .dmp file and upload it to google drive, and share link here. thanks.

the error seems to be a regression from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/10872 which is happening because dolphin finds your timezone hard to deal with. is it set to something strange? You don't need to change it - it should be fixed in dolphin - but want to understand what value is causing the problem.

it seems to be the exception mentioned here: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/current_zone however it's not entirely clear to me why an exception is being thrown, as the allocation seems to have succeeded (not bad allocation). maybe win10 17763 does not have required tzdb files (if such a thing even exists), I'm not sure atm.

see this comment: https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer/issues/3500#issuecomment-1090940908

Specifically, updating the leap second database requires Windows 10 version 1809 or later, and time zones require icu.dll which is provided by Windows 10 version 1903/19H1 or later. This applies to both client and server OSes; note that Windows Server 2019 is based on Windows 10 version 1809.

to clarify a little, when i said 17763, it's another term for 1809... :)

Thank you for your investigation.

As for your inquiry, my timezone is set to UTC -3:00 (Brasilia and Buenos Aires time). Here is a screen capture of Windows options:

Curiously some time ago I tried to update Windows clock using time.windows.com but Windows would not sync with the server, then I changed to time.nist.gov and the clock synced normally. Apparently this has been fixed in a Windows update because I have just tried to update using time.windows.com and it synced normally now.

Anyway, I hope this could be figured out eventually.

Thank you so much again.

can you try this build and see if it works for you https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/d0/68/pr-10963-dolphin-latest-x64.7z

Thank you for the information. I checked here and my system doesn't seem to have this file in the System32 folder, this is all I find when I look for "icu" there:

Would downloading this file and placing it there fix the problem with Dolphin?

Thank you again.

I'm sorry for missing this reply in my last response! This version seems to have fixed the issue here. The emulator no longer crashes with both Wii and Game Cube games loaded.

Please tell me if you need me to make any further testings.

Thank you so much again for your super fast work.
