Emulator Issues #9448

Dual Core FIFO log replay prevents Dolphin from being closed
0%
Description
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Neither the emulation window nor Dolphin itself can be closed after allowing the attached FifoCI log to play for 30ish seconds with Dual Core enabled. Disable panic alerts when playing this FifoCI log until https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/9447 is solved. The issue is not reproducible with dual core disabled. Terminating Dolphin in Task Manager still works.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Disable Dual Core, enable Panic Alerts
- Let the attached FifoCI log loop for 30ish seconds (Important)
- Try to close the emulation window
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?
4.0-9154
4.0-8828 (Fifoplayer: Fix dual core)

Oops, I mixed up the step 1

FifoCI is what runs at http://fifoci.dolphin-emu.org/. DFF files are called FIFO logs, not FifoCI logs - they can be used with things other than FifoCI.

Tested this a little further. I was able to inconsistently reproduce the problem in DX11, OGL, and software renderer. DX12 always has this issue. When OGL didn't freeze, the log shows
"GL\GLInterface\WGL.cpp:162 N[Video]: Could not release drawing context."

^My last post was tested with 4.0-9177 and multiple FIFO logs

Further testing, I don't normally use OGL but apparently all games show "Could not release drawing context" when closing the emulation window with OGL. Should I file a separate issue for this since the OGL message seems to be unrelated to this issue?
Also since 4.0-9390 altered FIFO Player I retested this issue. It still occurs.

#9819 also involves "Could not release drawing context" errors so these issues may be related.

I'm not sure we care to fix the fifologs on dualcore. It's up to degasus I guess.

Copying over what I posted on GitHub.
PR 4302 (Minor fixes to graceful shutdown) improves this issue. The yellow "Shutting Down" message is not displayed when exiting emulation during a dual core FIFO log and it takes noticeably longer to exit. OGL displays "Could not release drawing context" still. Out of 10 tries I still needed to kill Dolphin once.

More interesting information: 5.0-9 displayed "HW\CPU.cpp:166 E[PowerPC]: CPU Thread failed to acknowledge CPU_POWERDOWN. It may be deadlocked." when attempting to close. 5.0-5581 will freeze before this message is displayed.

FIFO log replay closes without issue for me. I did not bisect though

- Status changed from New to Fixed
This is fixed but they're still a little wonky. Good enough.
