How is netplay better in the latest version of 1964? And also is there a list of what games are playable well online with it? and 3rd, andyone (preferabley from uk) wanna give it a whirl tnite?

ok just tried netplay for the first time since i got adsl. have to say its fecking great with mario kart and smash bros. has anyone tried turok rage wars? if so does it play well?

Hmmm, was playing a game of Mazza Kart last night. and it was constantly desyncing after a minute or 2 of play. The other day it was playing fine. But in the game i played last night me and the other guy had quite a significant ping difference (95 to 40). Is it this ping difference that keeps causing the game to desync? We also tried setting lag to 1(Less) but it still desynces after a couple of mins, and its very annoying and unenjoyable cos with that setting the game onlt runs at around 25 vis/fps. Any tips to perfect netplay and maybe eliminate desyncing? Thanx!

Use Lag <4 only in lan connections (less than 20ms ping).......
Read the 1964 manual........: Main window GUI > Menu Items > Netplay
to know more about the netplay function........

What lag setting would you reccomend for an adsl connection, getting around 30-40 ping. cos lag 1(less) makes the game unplayable. also we were playing mazza kart with the lag (less) setting just to check see if it desyncs. and it did.

As stated in 1964 0.99 manual, you'd better to use lag = 4 or 5 which means a delay of 200-250ms. Such delay is reasonable, won't be very noticeable.

Rice, in Netplay, anything above 115-125 is noticeable. I've been around Netplay far too long for my own good.

About desyncing: A bunch of non-official testing has been done on it, and frankly we can't out why, when we have good computers, we are on the same connection type (Good), and we bothj have good ping. Make sure you meet all these conditions, then try to see if it desyncs.
