What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
The Game freezes in Jada after the cut scene with Rastan and the Necromancer
right at moment when the combat against the skeletons should start, it does freeze even when skipping the cutscene

Combat should start without a freeze

1.just play or skip the cut scene it will always freeze when combat should start

3.

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have

latest Dolphin version first.

4.0-6092 4.0-6094 4.0-6096.

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

Only tested Dolphin 3.0 again since i played trough the Game with it, it works fine there so my Rip should be ok

System, CPU and GPU)

C2Q 3.5 ghz, 4gb ram,, AMD HD 6800, Win7 64

deffyk for MVP. Thank you for bisecting, will accept the issue after one small thing is sorted out.

Also are you sure 5531 didn't break it? I'm thinking that's much more likely to break it. Also pinging HDKR considering that the change in 5533 was for android partially.

4.0-5531 -> https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/8cc6e5cff9cff74483c3cc939f1bc7c934570549/

4.0-5533 -> https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/86226cb2b908b8530cafdae97216cc1f8ca11486/

Having two confirmations that 4.0-5533 breaks it would be enough for me to accept that, but it really seems like 5531 is exactly what would cause this.

Yes, you're totally right. I thought i've rechecked it several times but yes it is 5531's fault.

Could you try right clicking the game, going to properties, and making "Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate" checked and seeing if that works around the issue temporarily?

Is there any savefile provided? Or if it's early on, can you provide me with any more info involved.

I have this game now and can analyze it better.

#18

Because 4.0-5531 broke this, it seems like the game relies on at least some of the disc data ending up in RAM before a read is completely done. To show that this is the case, I made a merge-unworthy commit that copies the disc data of large reads into RAM in several parts. It fixes this issue, but you need to change the PARTS constant to 16 first. A more proper implementation should be able to fix this issue in a correct way. https://github.com/JosJuice/dolphin/commit/6abfc141139af7795cbd4dbbd7ed0ee2ad30eeba

JMC says 4.0-9019 actually didn't unfix this, but the PR of 4.0-9019 did... I'm marking this as questionable until we figure out what's going on.

The conclusion seems to be that it only crashes sometimes, starting with 4.0-9019. (Possibly because of an in-game race condition?)
