hey guys i have a annoying problem with ggpo and i wonder if anyone can give me a little help. it works fine matches work good ports are open. but after a few matches it always crash with people i mostly play 3rd strike in ggpo. any help will be great i like fighting someone more then a 3 or 4 matches lol
3rd strike just sucks on ggpo/2df. CPS3 games are harder to get working online than CPS2. Me thinks, not sure.
i disagree, 3s crashed alot for me on 2df but it runs like a charm on ggpo. the only annoying thing are crashes caused by spectators.
check the following thing:
-
open all required ports 6000-6009 UDP 7000 TCP
-
make sure your hosts file has this entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost
-
install the latest version of Adobe Air
-
try to start a game with somebody and then switch into another room (maybe the lobby since it’s empty?) and have the other person switch too, that way you could tell if spectators are causing the crashes.
well i check everthing even my host file and everything is up to date i don’t think it spectators because it crashes even with out spectators
yea for 3s just go to 2df
nope ant going to 2df tried it and it was horrible
Similar issue here. Been using GGPO for years and it’s always been fine. But for the last month or two, each set starts off good but after 3 to 8 (most often around 4 or 5) matches it starts going down the crapper and I can’t figure out why. On Pingtest I have almost no jitter, and no other programs give me problems. Is the problem my computer? Maybe it’s not handling one of the Abode Air updates effectively? Besides that, I don’t know of any changes to my computer that have taken place that could affect GGPO’s performance.
I got like the opposite effect, GGPO crashes like crazy and 2df works perfectly fine. I still like GGPO better though. :looney:
GGPO is great, i prefer it over 2df. (just my personal opinion.)
it’s hard to pin down the cause of each crash because everybody has different pc specs and internet connections. i had some problems (random crashes) with ggpo in the past but now that im using windows 7 and my drivers are up2date i don’t have any problems at all.
so maybe checking your drivers (audio,video,network) could help?
if everything fails you might want to post on the ggpo board.
I tried removing GGPO from my computer entirely, and downloading and reinstalling it again. Hasn’t helped at all. Three or four matches and the framerate goes downhill, inputs start getting dropped and the pacing becomes sloppy and inconsistent. I always close anything that isn’t of importance in the task manager so that memory and CPU usage is limited but it doesn’t make a difference.
How do I check the status of my drivers or know if they require updating? Been a while since I’ve had to do any kind of maintenance.
Might be related to your computer specs as well as your settings in GGPO. Can you give details on your system? Also do you set for the video to be handled by software or hardware?
Windows XP, 3.0 GHz, 512 MB RAM… yeah, going on about 8 years old. Has some barebones Geforce card as well. I don’t feel like it’s the specs holding it back though. It doesn’t groan as if it’s trying to do something intensive when GGPO goes bad, and the fan doesn’t become louder either. Plus it was fine until now and I haven’t made any hardware changes. I’ve played marathon sets of a hundred matches in the past, with little deterioration of quality.
I have the video set to be handled exclusively by the hardware, since that’s the default. All effects are disabled except scanlines. At this point I figure I can narrow it down to things that could have changed without me knowing in the last few months:
-an Adobe Air update from hell
-spyware
In either case, I don’t know why the first matches are alright, and then it craps out instead of just being crap right from the get go. Might just be coincidence, but I remember now that I sometimes have intermittent framerate problems on a few video streaming sites like NicoVideo and Ustream when other people don’t.
well i think i found out what is causing the lag spike with the disconnect. fore some reason one night i got dc from the ggpo main sever and me and my buddie game did not dc at all.
the FBA emulator got updated so lets hope ggpo gets update becuse it now support Sega Megadrive games mortal kombat 3 anyone lol
My question is why the fuck does GGPO have gay ass windjammers and anymore Samurai Shodown games?
