Visual Glitches

There is no perfect setup, each setting behaves different depending on your hardware and combination of settings.

Savestates

If you savestate while there is a glitch in your game, you will save the glitch and it will be loaded into memory again once you loadstate. Savesates can cause many problems including visual, audio and gameplay errors.

You should always fully restart your game after applying these settings changes.

Game Properties

If you do not see your game in the list, please refer to this.

You can go to the Game Properties by right clicking your game and selecting Properties.

  • Enable Dual Core should be on.
  • Synchronize GPU thread should be off.

Game Properties

Hacks Tab

  • Store XFB Copies to Texture Only ensure this is enabled.
  • Immediately Present XFB should be disabled.

Hacks Tab

If this fails

Try setting your Video Backend to Direct3D11. If that fails,

In Game Properties:

  • Synchronise GPU Thread can solve some visual glitches but causes a slowdown.

If that also fails..

Unfortunately you must choose the low performance route,

In Game Properties:

  • Disable Enable Dual Core
  • Enable Synchronise GPU Thread

This isn't very good for performance, but this is the strongest way to prevent Visual Glitches. You may need to reset your Dolphin settings as some other unknown setting has broken your game. If this also fails, please ask in the Discord support channel and let us know everything has failed.

If your game still has visual glitches after these steps, it's possible your dump is corrupted or damaged.

Known PrimeHack Bugs

  • Problems scanning small objects in Prime 3.
  • Rendering Issues at high FOVs
