Emulator

Please list the Game ID of your copy of Star Fox Asssault and your system specs.

Hello,

Here's the missing information:

Game ID: GF7E01
OS: Windows 7 x64
I3-3500 @ 3,5GHz
4GB RAM
GPU AMD Radeon R7 240 - 2GB
Dolphin 4.0-7636 w/backend OpenGL Standard settings (the problem happens also with D3D and any settings I've tried so far).

Could you please get a coredump of the crash in latest master? Basically, if you're in windows, when Dolphin crashes, open up task manager, find Dolphin in the list of processes, right click it, create core dump (it should be something akin to that in all versions of Windows,) and then find that file, compress it and upload it.

Note which build number you were using.

Not sure why this is assigned to me.

BTW JMC if you are interested, getting this kind of info out of the dump is pretty easy:

• Latest windbg is here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=536682 (install only "debugging tools")
• Open dump file in windbg.
• enter commands:

.symfix
.sympath+ http://symbols.dolphin-emu.org
.reload /f
~*kn

Now look for the stack trace that looks like it has a problem. Done!

p.s. if there's an actual crash, not a window popup like this case, you can use !analyze -v and windbg will automatically tell you what went wrong. Easy :)

Reproduced on D3D and OpenGL.

Tested disabling the vertex loader as well, didn't seem to help.

Sometimes I can get the crash to trigger on my first playthrough of the level (depending on how much I fire my laser) but 100% of the time it seems to happen on the second playthrough of it.

This has always happened; even before the other crashes were fixed; this is just random at this point. The crash is much, much more likely to happen on Silver/Gold difficulties, on bronze difficulty it only happens after you die like you said.

This doens't mean the issue isn't valid; it just won't be blocking the 5.0 release.

Rudimentary and incorrect fix https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/4266

maybe degasus or phire can come up with the correct fix.

This should fix the crash regardless.
