What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
It's possible to load a savestate before Dolphin has fully initialized the emulation session, which causes lots of warnings as well as glitchy graphics and on-screen display.
For me, the glitchy graphics only occur when using the OpenGL graphics backend. They do not occur with the Vulkan or the software renderer.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(Warning: This can cause Dolphin to flash rapidly!)
- Ensure "Load State Slot 1" is mapped to a hotkey in Options > Hotkey Settings > Save and Load State
- Load up a game
- Make a savestate in Slot 1
- Stop the emulation
- Load up the game again
- Quickly press the "Load State Slot 1" hotkey to load a savestate.
- If done fast enough, Dolphin should spit out several warnings, and once they are cleared or ignored may start rendering glitchy graphics.
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Yes, 2512-426
Is the issue present in the latest release? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest release.
Yes, 2512
If the issue isn't present in the latest release, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer
Although this features glitchy graphics it's not a graphical issue.
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
OS: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor × 6
GPU: Intel Corporation Device e20b (?)
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
