Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a 'quick guide' that actually solves most people's issues with Dolphin on Parsec.įeel free to poke me on the Discord, I'm sure you can find me. Just touch the directories, internal resolution, and anti-aliasing. On the other hand, good job with the controller stuff, that's a significant problem for some people. You could just use a development build of Dolphin (also highly recommended) or Ishiiruka Dolphin (allows for better graphics, less stuttering, better but more inaccurate rendering) but that Dolphin I linked for you has netplay settings already set up. This is more point 3, but it comes up often enough in Parsec #support. The rest are not always clear.ħ - You make no mention of graphical backend / renderer. Bitrate can be complicated to properly determine. Assuming 3 clients, each client would also need 10Mbps down, which again, not everyone has. Sometimes it end up seemingly unfixable.Ħ - Your optimal settings are not other people's optimal settingsģ0Mbps may be fine for you, but most others don't even have half that for their internet's upload speed. Yet another common one, the causes vary afaik and it's a little more difficult to handle than 15000.
Stuff gets weird when game capture is used.Ĥ - "My guests disconnect / get error 15000"Īnother incredibly common error, some people literally don't have the required hardware to host with Parsec, others need driver updates or a settings tweak on their machine (not dolphin), and others still are locked to poor and outdated laptop drivers. Sometimes a user's specific combination of hardware, drivers, the game they want to host, and even other running applications can inexplicably make hosting impossible. You don't cover Arcade errors (but with no docs, good luck even trying).
No extra host-side software is necessaryģ - "I did all this but I get an error (1407/1501/other 4-digit starting with 1) I don't know where you got that from, but Parsec installs ViGEM when it itself is installed, that creates the xinput devices games can read. Other OS' may get support in future, but currently? Nope, literally impossible for the end-user to even attempt. The effort is appreciated, but there's a significant chunk of misinformation here, as well as most of the solutions to the usual problems being missing.
