2. Dolphin Freezing
- Shader Compilation could be to blame for the freezes. You can avoid shuttering by using the Ubershaders option, which was introduced in Dolphin 5.0-4869 and later.
You can also try the following methods to ensure a smooth experience while using dolphin:
- Skip EFB access from the CPU – Increases performance.
- Ignore Format Changes – The vast majority of titles are unconcerned about this, and it only provides a minor boost.
- Store EFB Copies to Texture Only – This option is enabled by default.
- Log in to your site via FTP.
- Delete all files within the /cache directory (except for the . htaccess file)
- Delete all files within the /cache_public directory
3. Dolphin Crashing
- This problem occurs when your machine has two Android SDK installations and the environment variable ANDROID HOME points to the incorrect location.
- To resolve the issue, navigate to the Android Studio settings, locate the appropriate Android SDK location, update the environment variable, and restart Android Studio / your PC.
- Switching To Open Gl Also solves this issue.
- If you switch to Open Gl, do reduce the resolution in order to get better FPS.
- To fix the crash, right-click Dolphin and select Properties.
- Check the “run this program in compatibility mode for:” box and select Windows 7. Check the box next to “run this program as an administrator” and click OK.
