<ul></ul><p>Can you narrow this down to a closer build? Bisect it, test a build halfway between the last known good, and first known bad, and you should find the culprit within 10 steps.</p>

<ul></ul><p>It happens on 4.0-7630 onwards, not in 4.0-7626. If I enable EFB to RAM, it doesn't happen, but the slowdown is not good. So there you go, hope I helped with something.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Just discovered it isn't the smoke, it's rather the blur effect that becomes squares. The blur isn't that evident on higher internal resolutions, but since I'm using native res to test it in EFB to RAM, I can see the blur much more "clearly".</p>

<p>I'll take a look into it. But it's possible that the actual bug is the fact that it worked on efb2tex before.</p>

<ul></ul><p>On the build you provided, there's no square effects. Any combination of EFB to RAM/Texture or EFB Access enabled/disabled works as intended. Also, for some reason this build seems to have fixed the save state slowdown problem with this game. While I was testing on "master" versions, loading a save state would either slow down, cut the audio or improperly load the next scenario after a door or cutscene. On this one I can load at any time, and nothing seems to go wrong. Even the Wii Edtion works well with save states now.</p>

I dicided to play it anyways on Dolphin and found other issues. It also makes any "pool" of water black. In the lake where's the boss "Del Lago", the water is pitch black. It makes the fight with it not impossible but a little harder. It's also harder to fish. Again, activating EFB2RAM fixes all of that, but still, it didn't happen on previous builds.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Well, I really don't know if that worked. I just read the wiki about FIFO, than set frames to "300" (Resident Evil 4 being 30FPS, I wanted 10 secs) and than hit "Record". Was disappointed it generated a 500MB file, being on Brazil with this low internet thing (1Mb upstream only, sheesh). Thankfully I remembered of 7-Zip, compression got them files to about 18MBs, so here they are:</p>
<p>EFB2RAM</p>
<p><a href="https://mega.nz/#!bcgmkDxC!iqsh3Q7k9uXydKKxFrxSAn8771YN9Qb57fIbSn8lAoA" class="external">https://mega.nz/#!bcgmkDxC!iqsh3Q7k9uXydKKxFrxSAn8771YN9Qb57fIbSn8lAoA</a></p>
<p>EFB2Tex</p>
<p><a href="https://mega.nz/#!LNwW1bgI!8o-qYXoDg9l16ZK60QqKpcYoiXsGF1hd2V4itXAJ_qM" class="external">https://mega.nz/#!LNwW1bgI!8o-qYXoDg9l16ZK60QqKpcYoiXsGF1hd2V4itXAJ_qM</a></p>
<p>I played them back to see how it went. Frame rate seems uncapped, and they work just as ingame, if I use a hotkey to enable/disable EFB copies, the square shows or not in both of them, so that's why I don't know it worked. Is that normal, by the way? Also, it crashed sometimes when I tried to exit Dolphin (during FIFO play).</p>
<p>If MEGA doesn't work, I could also use Mediafire, if that's more convenient. I would really like to see this issue fixed. Thanks for the attention!</p>

<ul></ul><p>I'm beginning to think it's the old NVIDIA cards that are the problem. Pre-4xx have different drivers with less features...</p>

<ul></ul><p>Well, that's true. Last update I got (341.92 on 2015.11.10) only had "security updates". Sure this thing is old, but I remember nvidia at least tried to add stuff to drivers before completely discontinuing GeForce 6000 and 7000 series, although the last driver broke a lot of things for older games, besides the bugs on the control panel. The card I had was a 6200 XD. Anyways, seeing that Dolphin is already entering the DX12 bandwagon, I don't think older stuff will be supported for much longer, right? It was true for other things, as I've been following the progress reports for a while, so, no surprise. Well, I better update on my part than. I like playing Nintendo games on a computer, and Dolphin helps me with that, so the computer should help Dolphin.</p>

<p>If you need screenshots let me know.. but you can see it in real action on my twitch. Fast forward to 5:46 and watch for like 7 seconds.[[[https://www.twitch.tv/7aizen7/v/65907926]]] </p>
<p>I also had a slowdown that I couldn't fix until the boss featured in this video but after rebooting it was all well. </p>
<p>So my settings are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Config:</strong></p>
<p>dual core enabled, idle skipping enabled, cheats enabled, 100% normal speed, JIT recompiler recommended, interface tab(default), audio (fast, backend xaudio2) enable cpu clock override 100% 486 mhz</p>
<p><strong>Graphics:</strong></p>
<p>Backend 3d11, Adapter NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 M, Fullscreen Resolution (Auto), Aspect Ratio (Stretch to Window) </p>
<p>Internal resolution 3x Native (1920 x 1584) for 1080p Anti - Aliasing 2x MSAA, Filtering - 1x </p>
<p>Scaled EFB Copy checked. Everything else on enhancements tab unchecked.</p>
<p><strong>Hacks:</strong></p>
<p>everything is checked on this tab</p>
<p><strong>Advanced</strong></p>
<p>Nothing is checked</p>
<p>If you need screenshots of anything let me know. Also, if you want to see gameplay running smoothly(inspite of the squares) just look at the previous broadcast of my twitch.</p>

<p>It is good to know that 4.0-9230 doesn't get the job done, but 4.0-9233 and later(I now have 4.0-9320) does. Now I can shoot peoples faces and not see random polygons. Thank you! <sup>_^</sup></p>
