Problems

Downhill Skiing Textures

When playing the Downhill Skiing event textures seem to load from inappropriate locations, showing mountain textures on the course, and course textures on the mountains. These seem to pop back and forth arbitrarily while progressing through the course.

Oddly swapped textures

Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
5.0-15839	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-6700K	NVIDIA GeForce 970	Title starts up and plays without issue.	Kolano
5.0-15993	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.8 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6770	Intro/Menu. Direct3D 11, 3xIR, 1xAF, 1x MSAA. Past the screen with the warning about wearing a tightened wrist strap, the screen always turns black and an empty Warning dialog box appears. At this point, I cannot exit Dolphin normally, through the Task Manager, or otherwise without restarting my computer. I didn't test at native resolution (1xIR) because at this point I was tired of restarting, though I imagine that wouldn't make a difference. This is decade-old hardware and another user has marked it playable, though.	SpectraNocturne
5.0-16027	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-6700K	NVIDIA GeForce 970	Title starts up and plays. Seeing lots of weird texture pop in in the Downhill Skiing event.	Kolano
