Description

I have a really weird issue for you guys!

  1. Have the Dolphin gamelist and options window in the same window that the game will be run upon
  2. Have a "framedump0.avi" file already in the Dolphin Emulator\Dump\Frames folder (Dolphin creates one even if you press cancel on the compression screen, so it's hard not to have a file here!)
  3. Turn on "Use Fullscreen"
  4. Turn on "Dump Frames"
  5. Run any game

The game will appear to hang, with the window showing nothing but black screen! Hit Alt-Tab to select the emulator window (what most people will do), and hitting stop will make the emulator go unresponsive!

What's happening is that the frame dump compression popup is being generated behind the game window, instead of in front. Hit Alt-Tab twice and it can be selected, and hitting an option there will make the emulator proceed as normal. While it may seem convoluted, anyone who dumps frames will usually do so in fullscreen, so it's not that weird to leave it running accidentally and then start a game. That's all that it takes to run into this! This happens on both borderless and exclusive fullscreen.

And this appears to be a regression.

Tested on:

That's as far as I could test with the builds I have on hand...
