Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Start Sonic Adventure DX
  2. Enter the captain's quarters on the Egg Carrier
    3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The area loads, but when Sonic is standing about halfway towards the front
of the room hundreds of polygons draw simultaneously, slowing Dolphin down
to less than 1FPS. The polygons also stretch crazily across the screen,
blocking the view.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN R 4033 x86 WinXP Pro

Please provide any additional information below.
This is avoidable if you move to the back of the room and whatever is
causing the bug unloads from memory. The extreme slowdown may have the
potential to crash some computers completely. I'm using the Japanese
version of SADX, so I'm not sure if this happens with USA/PAL or not. Can
someone test this for me? This is probably a distortion of a part of the
level because nothing with this many vertices would load under normal
conditions. Use wireframe to navigate and speed the game up a little. It
should be possible to finish the mission and exit the room.
