Description

Game Name?
Every game

Game ID?

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
As already discussed here https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/1798 with localised versions of Windows (only 8.1?) there's a problem with the overclocking and underclocking setting: when entering the config/advanced, enabling CPU clock override and setting a new value below 100%, if you exit from Dolphin and relaunch it, starting any game will only give you a black screen, because the value doesn't get saved: now in the config/advanced tab the slider always get set at 0%

What did you expect to happen instead?
Having the chosen value correctly saved after exiting Dolphin, in order to avoid black screen at next game launch

What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]

  1. Launch Dolphin
  2. Go to the config/advanced tab, enable CPU clock override option and set a new value below 100%
  3. Exit from Dolphin and launch it again
  4. Go to the config/advanced tab: the CPU clock override slider shows 0%

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?
4.0-5078

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
None

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Windows 8.1 (italian version), Intel e8400, Nvidia Gtx650ti

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
[Upload big files to a hosting service and post links here!]
The problem seems to occurs only with localised version of the OS (Window 8.1 for sure) and occurs only when you exit Dolphin, in the same "session" the value gets perfectly saved (re-entering the config/advanced has the right value shown)

valid issue the locale configuration in the code that generated the config file is geenrating a ',' separated float that is invalid to read when using 'C' locale

Rodolfoo, from the little that I can understand with PR 2004 https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/2004 merged now linux has the same behaviour as Windows...so I was wondering if it is now possible to apply your fix to master or still not?

Hym, hexedit dolphin.exe works - search for ".1252" string (without quotes) and replace with "C" (without quotes too). I too lazy to rebuild from source :p

Thanks for verifying.

Re-reading this issue I just want to double check that I actually verified this properly. I am using Windows 8.1 set to English language. Is the issue applicable for that or only for select other languages?

It probably doesn't happen if you're using English, but I don't know for sure.

Updated by delroth about 8 years ago

It definitely wouldn't happen if your OS is configured to use English language. French or German would be good test cases since they use "," as the decimal separator.

I have a localised version of Windows 10 and this is fixed

I had someone reproduce the issue on 4.0-8273 with an FR locale and confirm it doesn't happen anymore on latest master. Verified fixed.
