Hi!
I'm having an interesting issue with regard to Dolphin Netplay on 5.0-321 (henceforth NP5) versus Dolphin Netplay on 4.0-7840(NP4).
I begin by letting you know that my testing was as scientific as I could make (as in, I control for all variables as much as I can by providing ping examples using the same person, the same .iso between netplay versions, etc .) I'm on ethernet, and during my testing I was the only person at home.
Basically, the problem is that in NP5, upon launch of the game, will give inconsistent ping and frame drops, while NP4 will not.
Sidebyside example:
NP4 lobby: 45 ping.
NP5 lobby: 45 ping.
NP4 game-launched: 45 ping and 60 frames.
NP5 game-launched: ping spikes from 45 to 400 (occuring constantly after the game is launched) and 20 frames.
for benchmark:
Dolphin4 running the game offline: 60 frames.
Dolphin5 running the game offline: 60 frames.
I can't really think of a reason for this to happen. NP5 doesn't report a desync, in fact, both host and client are feeling the terrible frames and ping together, so it is most likely staying synced.
Any ideas? PS: My internet is roughly 2.5mbps down, .4 mbps up. It's just perplexing that netplay 4 works fine and netplay 5 does not for me in this case. I am the only one in my group of dolphin-ers with this issue.
Thanks,
Z
