Since {{revision|3.5-471}}, when using the MS Bluetooth Stack (the default bluetooth stack on Windows) Prime 3 will think that the Wii Remote is constantly disconnecting. Pressing a button on the Wii Remote will restore it, but it will disconnect again seconds later. Windows users can disable "Enable Speaker Data" to solve this problem, or move to either the Toshiba Stack or the DolphinBar.

=== Bloom Offset ===

Prime 3 has noticeable bloom offset problems. It will have several copies of the bloom spread out from the source, and can be very distracting. The only solution is to disable "Scaled EFB Copy", but this has some issues of its own. See {{issue|5573}}.

=== Visors ===

The Scan visor will only work if '''Store EFB Copies to Texture Only''' is disabled. Though '''Store EFB Copies to Texture Only''' is forced off by the GameINI, visor issues may still occur if the graphics configuration window is opened during gameplay. Disable '''Store EFB Copies to Texture Only''' in the Dolphin GUI to avoid any problems.

 

=== Dot ===

=== The Black Bar ===

 

If the CPU and GPU threads of Dolphin desync too much during lag, a black bar may show up at the bottom of the screen. It takes up 15% of the screen space and "squishes" the game in the remaining space. The black bar will remain there from then on whether stuttering continues or ceases. Because shader compilation stuttering is the main cause for these desyncs on a powerful computer, enabling Hybrid Mode Ubershaders or Exclusive Mode Ubershaders should help with preventing this issue. Enabling Single Core will remove any risk of this issue occurring.

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0.2-2879|OS=Windows 8.1|CPU=Intel Core i5-3570K|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti|result=Game runs fine but slows down a lot in some places. Sometimes only the sound gets a little bit laggy but the graphics are okay, sometimes both are laggy. Map almost always is laggy. Reducing Internal Resolution helps, but not much. HLE seems a little bit better, though it suddenly stops in some cutscenes.|tester=Thales}}
