Ok so I'm finally getting so tired of this issue that I've decided after several months to voice my problem here. Please read carefully, as I'll be as thorough as possible.
Let me preface my issue by saying that I've been using this emulator for a good long while now, and have never encountered this problem until the latest public release. I should also state that I'm using the default CPU options, as well as no speedhacks or game fixes.
Also, it has affected every single game I've tried (25+) thus I'm quite positive it's not an ISO problem. The issue is also independent of my plugins, as I've tried mixing and matching more than I care to remember :/
So here is my actual problem...
When loading a file from any given loadstate slot, my emulator will occasionally kick out this message:
The error itself is very random; sometimes I can load a dozen times without issue, other times it happens after just a couple of loads. After I receive the above error, I am forced to completely restart the emulator before any of my loadstates will function again. I should also say that loading is always successful on my first attempt after the emulator has been started/restarted.
I've tried about everything I can think of to resolve the issue on my own, such as renaming/moving the emulator's directory, running the emulator as admin, and I've also tried turning numerous options on and off (e.g. 'backup before save') all without success.
Searches through this forum and Google both lead to dead ends.
Here's a capture of the console output after I started the emulator, loaded from a loadstate, saved to a loadstate, then tried to load one more time, at which time the error popped up.
All significant PC specs should already be in the console output, but if I should elaborate more just let me know.
Of course, any help would be very appreciated. Savestates are about my most prized feature in emulators So I'd really like to get this issue resolved. (I refuse to rollback to a previous pcsx2 version, I love this version's interface too much )
P.S. Note my near zero post count expresses the fact that this is the first time I've ever had an issue with the pcsx2 I couldn't resolve on my own
