Kaillera + Kawaks lagg issues and woes

Online Forums Computer/Handheld

For the last month I’ve started using Kawaks with Kaillera since it’s what everyone seems to use in my part of the world (down under) and have a had some crazy lagg issues.

My ping is usually around the 48 to 68 mark and I play on Excellent most of the time. I’m using the latest version of Kawaks.

Issue #1

I play any game (alpha 3 and Super turbo mainly) the game starts off lagg free and sweet as, but then after a while of playing it completely slows down and plays in a lagg version of slow motion. Is this desynching? The other player always asks if I’m downloading something (Which I NEVER am) Could there be some some other program using the connection? Is there a way I can check to see if anything else is using the line? How do I make my game run more smoothly?

Issue #2

I open Kawaks go to start Netplay the Kalliera screen pops up for a second and then Kalliera and Kawaks both close on me.

Also I was playing and someone Neglagged me. What does that mean?

Any help to get me back online and not seen as the lagg scrub would be fantastic

Have you tried using MAME 32k 0.64, Fireburn Evo, or other emulator? I have this same issue with Kawaks 1.57. After a minute or two of playing (Hyper SFII), I would get a lag-like frameskipping on netplay. But with MAME, I don’t get that sort of thing. I tried turning off Auto frameskipping from the menu and the configuration file, but that doesn’t seem to work. Quite possibly the program itself contains a bug…

I have gotten it sometimes during gaming also. It’s emulation… meh.

Is kaillera playable on a 56k modem?

5

No.

And don’t use kawaks.

Ok, but what about 256k?

mame .64 crashes constantly for me i don’t know why, and the game never stays at constant 60 fps is there an option to make it higher priority? My pc is by no mean outdated either…

i get random frame skips on kawaks when playing hsf2 i think its the emulinker servers IMO

#issue 1: Could be the new version (unlikely) or packet loss or the server you are using. But if its your system, you could try playing around with kawaks priority options.

@issue2: happened to me with the original client when the master server was being a dick. What I used to do was press stop as soon as the netplay window popped up.
