I'm afraid this is not how this is done (if I'm reading you right). You mark
the revision good or bad during bisect if and only if you can successfully get
to the point in program where it usually shows up and then get consistent
results there. Otherwise you end up with unreliable, probably wrong results.

Unfortunately, sometimes when bisecting you can't get to the required spot in
the program, because, for example, the game crashes in that revision earlier
than you can test (because of other bugs). That's where it gets much more
difficult than usual routine. If it happens, the only (right) way is to find
fixes for other bugs (which are not relevant to your bisect and are an
interference) and then port those fixes to revision you test for bisect. I
realize this is probably more than can be expected from users who are not
developers themselves.
