QUESTIONS ABOUT ONLINE MODE (a.k.a. The Jak Faq)
Q: How do I play online?
A:
1. Make sure you have Hamachi downloaded, installed, and running.
You can find the download here. Make sure to download the Unmanaged version.
2. Make sure you and your opponent are on the same Hamachi network.
3. Select the Online Mode option on the home menu of Crusade v0.8. Then, figure out if you're going to be the host or if someone else will be the host.
3.1. If you are going to be the host, select "Host Game". Give your Hamachi IP to the person you will be playing.
3.2. If you are going to join your opponent's game, select "Join Game" and paste the Hamachi IP your opponent gives you into the pop-up window.
4. Both players select their characters. Using the same selection buttons as the main menu, navigate yourself to the personal options window (selecting yourself in the lobby) and select "Character". Select the character you will be playing on the CSS that pops up. If you want to play as an alt character (e.g. Evil Ryu or Zero Suit Samus) the option will come up to select one or the other.
5. The host sets the game settings and the stage that the game will be played on.
At the moment, there are very few selectable stages, but that will be fixed in a patch.
6. Both players select "Claim Ready" and the host starts the game.
Q: WHY IS THERE SO MUCH LAG
A: One player in the match probably has a bad connection. Try to have the player with the better connection host the game.
Q: WHY DOES IT TAKE 3 SECONDS FOR MY INPUT TO BE READ WHILE THE GAME RUNS AT FULL SPEED
A: Probably an issue of bad connection, or that you are very far from your opponent.
Q: Why does the game crash after the match is over?
A: We're not sure, but it will be fixed in the next patch.
Q: What's with the lack of stages in Online mode?
A: Again, we're not sure what happened, but it will be fixed in the next patch.
Q: I got a desync! What happened?
A: Chances are, your connection is REALLY bad, or you were playing with items. It is suggested not to play with items online because their random spawning has not been fully synchronized yet.
