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 3530

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Win7 x64
CPU i7 2670qm
GPU Nvidia Gt635m

I don't know many people with the necessary hardware to test this.

this is a software bug because game running perfect with 60 fps at 1920x1080 and guitar bass controller work fine except drums and , just some times freeze or lag for a few seconds , i'm also test this game with diffrent hardwares and same result
this issue same with GH 5,Band Hero
but guitar hero metallica and previous versions don't have this issues and everything working fine

i just think this is not a big problem , if this become fixed would be really fantastic

-the freeze problem i think there is somethings added to GH5 - GH WOR - BAND Hero and every 1-2 min into loop for a seconds but in GH metallica and previous versions no such thing exist
-and the drums problem it's just different key code in (GH 5 , GH Wor , Band hero) you must add a new extension like "Drums New" to adapt new versions of game or drums must be updated and support new key codes

thanks a lot

I'll investigate this more. I can't exactly fix any of the bugs, but maybe I can see what's going on. I'm a bit afraid the repeated freezes are just shader cache and can't be fixed.

i've tried builds other people claim to work wtihout the freezes, but i still get them, its a shame, if it wasnt for that this game would be perfectly playable.

12gb ram, gtx 760, w7 x64

the game stop freezes when i "turn off wifi" or disable wifi driver
i think this issue happened when game try connect through the wifi !!
plz anyone test and give us the results

If the freezes have to do with wifi... then umm, are you using a custom build? I know there was one floating around that caused the same kind of issues in another game...

IF not, this is Parlane's problem!

very sad the interest of the developers in the issues of the emulator, yet 3 topics (including 1 of mine) they still insist that the problem its the hardware, not the software, and i thought EA games developers were bad, at least when they lauch a game with bugs, hthey listen to the community and fix those.

Because most issues are user error. If you're unwilling to work with people who do not have the game to narrow down bugs with the emulator, then kindly stay away. Emulator dev is hard, and people like you make it even harder.

so, how can you devs can work around a bug happening in a game if you dont even test it? i don't mean to tell how to do your business but when a group of people complain about a same issue, in different systems this is not the time to verify this same issue deeper? i know you guys don't make a dime (or do) developing this emulator, but sometimes the problem is not the user, i'm willing to help the way i can but both sides need a feedback, in my tread about this same issue i even post a video from another person having the same exactly problem, i've already tested this game and guitar hero 5 have the same problem in various versions of the emulator, custom build, recent updates, stable versions, with different kinds of setup, configs and the issue persists.

We rely on users to provide logs and information that help us determine what is going wrong. Figuring out if older builds work or if any settings affect the issue help a lot. It may be seem like we're skeptical, but helpful users that understand our position help expose a lot of bugs. We had a similar situation with Sonic Unleashed, where a developer had to buy the game on their own dime to test it and figure out what was going on after a user went through the paces.

With Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock, the three issue reports have said slightly different things; so I'm not 100% sure that the issues are all the same.

I hope you understand, I didn't mean to get so aggressive, but it's frustrating when we are trying our best to narrow down the issue from a difficult position and people are more or less saying we're not giving any support at all.

Dolphin supports thousands of games, and there are still thousands of bugs, issues, and enhancements to work on. The more information that is provided about this issue, the more likely it is a developer will spot a possible issue, which will then give a tester more reason to buy the game and test out various changes to fix the issue.

I know it may be frustrating, but, that's just how the situation is right now. We rely heavily on our users for testing as they're the ones that have the games.

The stuttering (repeated freezes) is tracked in issue 8790, microphone support is tracked by issue 5079, and guitar/drum controller emulation should already be working (please create a separate issue report if that's not the case, because keeping track of three separate issues in one report is very messy!)
