Serious Sam: Next Encounter is a spin-off first person shooter in the Serious Sam series of video games, developed by Climax Studios, and released in April 2004, for the Sony Playstation 2 and the Nintendo Gamecube. The game is a first-person shooter featuring both single and multi-player modes. The single-player story mode sends the player through various historical settings to face off against legions of monsters. The two multi-player modes consist of a deathmatch mode and a co-op version of the story mode.

Problems

Save Screen Hang

The emulator will get stuck into the save screen right before level loading. To fix the this, disable the memory card in slot A.


3.0-716 partial incompability

The game is not working properly on 3.0-716 version of Dolphin. It will not allow to save your progress and runs generally on 50% of the regular speed, no matter how high the processors power is, along with many audible glitches, and crackling noises. Sadly, there's no way to fix this. You can always downgrade to 3.0-226, which works perfectly.
