falling out of sync a common problem?

[krayton444]

been searching these forums and google without to much luck.

is it common to fall out of sync after a round?

me and my friend play quite often and it seems after a round we fall out of sync. usually found when you see the other person just run off the screen. we are using pj64k and doing p2p. we see pings as low as 15 and it plays really smooth. just keeps getting out of sync.

so is this just the way things are? and we just keep restarting after a round or 2, or are we missing something?

You definitely shouldn't be desynching that often. Every 7-12 rounds or so would probably be about normal.

Try using Ownasaurus' P2P client and adding an extra frame of delay if you can bear it. If gameplay is already smooth, then I'm not sure if it'll help, but it's worth trying.

ill look that up and give it a try. with the kall client we tried many different frame delays with no luck

i have that problem with some players sometimes in my server....for example house, when i play with him hapens every 2 matches.... we just get used to reset

i have no clue why is that...but house has the theory that it may be caused for diference tipes of windos....i have xp...he has vista....i really dont know.

use mupen

 

[krayton444]

i started looking up mupen. which is the latest mupen64k version?


from what i read pj looses packets and it goes out of sync. and mupen doesnt have that issue



could also be the windows version. my friend is using win7 and im on xp

Maybe its not the emu, but your internet connection, or all your PC. try a cleanup and check your connection.

www.speedtest.net - use this for bandwidth test (some terrible connections cant handle online play)

www.pingtest.net - use this for latency test and for your connection quality (if this test is bad then its the case of your desynchs)

I DS if I use certain plugins with pj64k

 

[dandan]

what is the chance one of you is playing on full screen?

I DS if I use certain plugins with pj64k

what plugins do you use? i ds occasionally. not during p2p tho.

 

[malva00]

I use Jabo's Direct3D6 1.5.2 (not regular Jabo's Direct3D6)

and No Sound plugin

or Azimer's Audio v0.30 (Old Driver) if I wanna hear sound

I DS more often if I use

rice video/glide64 and/or Azimer's HLE Audio v0.56 WIP 2/Jabo's DirectSound 1.6/zilmar's Audio Plugin

I can use Jabo3D7 or 3D8 but I don't cuz they can crash my comp

connections checked out good.

i guess we'll try mixing and matching plugins. im gonna also try doing win7 to win7


we first would DS when my friend would full screen, so he stopped that.

any other ideas to try?

Try not picking random stage or playing with items. Or try P2P.

 

[krayton444]

yeah we always choose a level and have no items. also this is p2p.

 

[Ownasaurus]

The operating system is not the problem

 

[nuro]

Is your friend using the plugins malva said to use? Are you? Do you DS when your playing other people?

thats just horrible
im usually fine with glide o6 or jabo 3d8 but some on vista when i move the window or switch windows itll do the gfx error and stuff =|
