Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 online and lag discussion thread.

[Deathwing]

I made this thread so we can discuss this matter in one thread only since the forum's cluttering with so much threads talking about this, just keep any conversation about this topic here.

Thanks.

We needed a thread like this Deathwing!

We were being flooded with "online issues"

Hopefully, this continues throughout the week and in turn gets to the point of being well enough for 100% lagless matches (or 95%).

Well then should we just pile the current finding in this thread instead of having them dispersed through the forums? And I still have found a decent Normal match that was lag free or even more playable than usual.

Anyway, what we DO know:

The lag causes horrible framerates, mistimed button presses, near non-detection of button presses, freezing in a certain action in some cases, auto tants...for some odd reason, and disconnection when there should be no disconnects. Also black screens after matches/upon disconnection.

Also the contact info for Nintendo: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/webform.jsp?lang=en

What we DONT know:

When the lag will be fixed.
Whats causing the lag.

Yes but this tries to remedy that. Minimizing all questions and complaints into one topic makes it easier for staff to see things.

Hahaha.

Yes, indeed, that's why I made the thread.

Exactly.

However I won't post here too much since I don't have online, but you guys keep it alive.

[L Lawliet]

I really hope this gets fixed. I should be getting the game soon.

[gt fan]

Great topic man.

[Teknoman]

Well I think we should get the mods to lock the other topics tell everyone to just put all their questions and complaints and info in here.

I was thinking about that too, they are offline now though.

Check out my video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Swt_I0JGxDU&feature=user

And another forum members: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BCBIpxcqzIg

Thats considered a "good" match. The lag was still there as you can see how slow the movements are. Also button input isnt recognized whenever you see two people standing so close to each other without do anything...which NEVER happens in a match.

Wow! I cant believe that's considered a "good" match. I do hope they fix that; almost all of the members here were looking forward to some intense battles with one another.

Hey, if you go to command prompt and ping nintendo.com and nintendo.jp there is no response so i think they're working on the servers.

Hmm im gonna try that.
EDIT: Says destination unreachable at the end of a traceroute, gonna do a ping test now.
EDIT2: Same for a ping test. Well who knows...might just be a certain amount of security or something.

[End_Of_All]

It's not illegal that i'm doing that is it o_O

[obeida]

close this please.

No.

That was just funny. Anyways I wish I had a Wii at times like these.

lol no, course not. People do that kinda stuff all the time if you need to test your internet connection.

[End_Of_All]

I doubt it's the security man because i can ping atari, myspace, and sony just fine.

[Teknoman]

Well im getting the same thing with xbox.com, so thats why I thought it might be that.

[End_Of_All]

Don't try to ping the branch, ping the main source. I know all of the servers for every game on the wii are traced to www.nintendo.com or .jp

[Teknoman]

Hmm well in that case maybe they are working on something. Wish they got back to Atari with an answer today though.

[SSJWulfrain]

Wow, I just watched that youtube video and that was not cool. I knew it would be like this when the game first luanched. I got the PS2 version earlier but I might get the Wii version for the online play as well, as long as they fix this lag issue. Annoying...

[Teknoman]

Yeah we should be fighting like this online:

And of course we all would be able to tolerate the occasional lag spike, but constant is just a disservice to all fans.

[End_Of_All]

What kind of connection does this guy have?

[Flame Alchemist]

Hmph...I told people not to expect too much out of this game, even if it has online play.

[Teknoman]

Nah thats just a normal offline versus mode replay. Im just saying things online should have been close to that kinda performance from the outset, with a few lag spikes here and there. And Roy, dont be so pessimistic (where's Hughes when you need em), once they get things fixed...online will be a blast.

[End_Of_All]

Tekno, dude I am slowly losing my mind for this game. I really need to find something to occupy me until xmas.
