Baten Kaitos Origins (GC) - Nihal Desert area frame rate drop / crash.
0%
Description
What's the problem?
Once entering the Nihal Desert (North or South), frame rates drop and game will (potentially) crash. Graphical glitches are also showing up at times, as well. It would appear that the "sand storm" effect in the desert is the culprit.
Dolphin version with the problem (as it appears in the title bar, Ex.: "R
4779" or "R 6403M"):
r7257
(optional) Dolphin version that does not have the problem:
r6839 has no issue in this area. I'm not sure which revision between r6839 and r7257 caused the problem.
Operating system and version:
32-bit or 64-bit:
64bit, OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.6
Game ID (as it appears in game properties, Ex.: "GZ2P01" or "RSBE01"):
GK4E01
Build command-line (not on Windows):
Built precisely as mentioned in the "Project Home" link for Mac users.
Was the ISO a plain dump from disc, compressed and/or scrubbed?
Unsure.
Please provide any additional information below.
Changing XFB from Virtual to Real will not cause the game to crash. However, the desert area still experiences a large drop in frame rate and numerous graphical glitches.
Turning off XFB seems to have no effect.
