Starfox Adventures causes GPU Desync (FIFO Overflow)
0%
Description
Game Name?
Star Fox Adventures
Game ID?
GSAP01
(PAL)
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
FIFO Overflow, "CPU too fast" warning leading to a lockup.
What did you expect to happen instead?
That the emulator should not desync itself.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Play the game for a couple of hours, problem may or may not be exacerbated by frame drops (below 100% speed). Occasional "FIFO Overflows" about 30 minutes apart which can be ignored until it finally breaks.
Full crash occurred at "Force Point Temple", a FIFO overflow / "CPU too fast" warning followed by multiple "GFX FIFO: Unknown Opcode" + "Illegal command" windows. The emulator didn't crash, but the screen went black with 0 FPS / 60 VPS; music continued to play but controls don't respond.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
Dolphin 4.0-4368 (Windows/x64)
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
I have 4.0-3543 which generates FIFO Overflows every few seconds on the title screen.
What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Intel Core i7-920 2.66GHz
Radeon HD 5850
Windows 7 x64
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
Selected 60 FPS / PAL60 on title screen.
Using DSP HLE for better performance. [XAudio2 Backend]
OpenGL Graphics Backend. ["Dolphin 4.0-4368 | JIT64 DC | OpenGL | HLE"]
Using EFB to Texture, Per Pixel Lighting, 16x Anisotropic, Fast Depth disabled.
