Problems
Random Crashes
Game may crash randomly, usually after giving an 'unknown pointer' error two or three times over the course of an hour or so.
Intro Videos and Credits Video
These videos give black screens and choppy/static filled audio using the Direct3D and OpenGL rendering backends, but are drawn correctly when the software renderer is used. Garbled video audio fixed by 3.5-1189 and broken video fixed by 3.5-2381.
Direct3D Backend Problem
Using the D3D backend when selecting the "Shayel Passage" level causes a Texture Loading Failure exception error. For now use the OpenGL backend in order to play this level. Fixed by 4.0-4239.

r7671 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Phenom II X4 945 @ 3.3GHz | ATI Radeon HD 4870 | Lost Kingdoms on Dolphin Emulator 1080p | Vortextk |
^3.0 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Pentium E5400 @ 2.7GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 | Variable framerates during exploration, speedups during combat, no graphical or sound glitches ~30FPS | parasite64 |
4.0-652 | Windows | Intel Core i7-960 @ 3.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6870 | Played entire game start to finish with a sibling through netplay using Dolphin Netplay 4.0-652. Game ran at various framerates throughout different levels, most levels ran at a consistent 30FPS. Usually when a lot of major effects were going on the game would slow down gradually. Had to use OpenGL to access the Shayeel Passage Level. Game runs all the way throughout in netplay. **Warning** During netplay the game would freeze occasionally during saving and corrupt the file. This appears to be a random thing with the Netplay branch Dolphin emulator and I've found no definitive solution, it happens sometimes and others it won't. | Desmond27 |
