Hello folks,
for days now my friends and me have been playing mario kart wii and brawl via the netplay option flawlessly, that is when we played as a group of 3.
Yesterday we tried to play with another bloke. After hours of tirelessly trying to fix the bad performance we were experiencing ( not knowing what was causing it ) trial and error gave us the answer.
Every combination of us 4 playing together in a game of 3 works fine. As soon as a 4th player joins the netplay session things go haywire ( aka. from solid 60 fps to 30-40 fps ).
It is not dependent on the fact that one more player joins for example the brawl match, the 4th opponent being a CPU is fine.
It's solely the fact that more than 3 people are present in the netplay session.
TL;DR
players in netplay <= 3 -> 60 fps
players in net play >= 4 -> horrid performance.
anyone experiencing the same? is there a fix ?
( we go with these settings btw. http://www.smashboards.com/threads/dolphin-online-melee-netplay.335432/ )
we tried switching from d3d11 to opengl and different dolphin revisions (3.5 and 4.0.1) and the problem doesn't seem to have been fixed unless its a setting that you have to change that we didn't change.
( on a not as related note - any way to sucessfully play brawl and/or mario kart wii via the nintendo WFC with other specific dolphin users ? )
