What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
When I start dolphin and change my configuration, I can play games. When I stop dolphin and start again, dolphin crashes when I try to start a game.

What did you expect to happen instead?

1. remove .Dolphin-emu in your homedir
2. start dolphin-emu
3. change a random config setting
4. play a game
5. quit the game
6. quit dolphin-emu
7. start dolphin-emu

9. dolphin crashes

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0-590

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
yes, not sure which revision. Need to test. I think this bug is there for about 2-3-4 weeks now.

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
gentoo linux on an intel i5 cpu and nvidia gtx660 gpu

Are you using the 32 or the 64 bit version of Dolphin?
64-bit

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

I found out that the only way to be able to play games again is by removing Config/Dolphin.ini and make my config settings again.

Next, I compared the initial Dolphin.ini with a saved one. I found out that under [Core] the HLE_BS2 setting is different. I don't know what it does, but I guess that it isn't changed with my configuration change.

When I have a config file that does not work, the HLE_BS2 value is True. To fix it, I change it (in my text editor) to False and then dolphin works again.

The console shows this error message:
