Frame advance crashes Dolphin while input recording
0%
Description
Game Name?
Any game will work for this.
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
When attempting to frame advance during an input recording (whether the recording is being recorded or played back), Dolphin's emulation will freeze, eventually causing the program to crash. This does not appear to happen if just playing a game.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Go into Hotkey Settings and make sure you have a key bound to Frame Advance under the TAS Tools tab.
- Go to Movie->Display Frame Count. This isn't necessary for the glitch, but it provides more information on what's going on.
- Select a game, then go to Movie->Start Input Recording.
- Press the key bound to Frame Advance. The frame count should go up by 2, and Dolphin's emulation will freeze up, appearing to be unpaused based on Dolphin's main window UI.

OS: Windows 11 Home

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
This appears to have been broken at least as early as 2412-185.

I'm still looking into this, but in my testing it happens when (Dual Core=enabled && Immediately Present XFB=disabled). If those match your current settings, to help confirm my findings can you try (Dual Core=enabled && Immediately Present XFB=enabled) and (Dual Core=disabled && Immediately Present XFB=disabled) and see if both combinations prevent the problem?
Updated by InputEvelution 6 days ago
I've just tested those combinations, and the crash didn't happen. Normally I would have disabled dual core before starting an input recording, but I was just trying to mess around with functionality on PR builds yesterday, so it makes sense why I only encountered this problem now.
