How to get a 'lag' free game of PES6 online

[hitmanuk2k]

Everyday we are getting loads of threads with lag issues online for the PS2. How it works is one half you host, the other your opponent hosts. In order to get a lag free match, you should:

- Have at least a 1mb connection (though some will argue 512kb will do).
- Preferably be in the same country.
- Be the ONLY person in your household using the connection and that PES6 is the only thing running - don't have ANY PC's turned on with stuff like MSN or Torrent programs running.
- Turn off commentary.
- Play with Summer/Fine weather conditions.
- Find an opponent who has 2 or 3 little bars next to his name in the match room. If you can't find anyone at all with 3 bars, this means your connection is not up to scratch or you need to turn a PC etc off. The bars do not indicate the connection quality of your opponent, they indicate the connection between the both of you (e.g. one person could see 3 bars for someone, whereas you may only see 1).
- Try to play against someone you know who you know has a decent connection and has no other systems running. I suggest asking people for games on the forum and meeting in a quieter lobby.

If you follow those steps you should be able to have a lag free game of Pro Evo 6 online.

For the PC, just make sure that you don't have MSN or any other program which will use the connection. Only have PES6 running.

The whole thing is for PS2...

I have the xbox version, and there is still considerable lag in that in every game I've played (about 15 in total)

When I have lag, does that mean my opponent has the same lag too or can he be playing a perfectly normal game while my players are doing what I told them to do 2 secs ago!

Thanks

ps any tips for the xbox version to reduce the lag?

Most of the PS2 tips Hitman gave us should work for the 360 too. Remember those points should be common sense concerning online games.

I think it can also help to put weather on fine.
Snow and rain increase the chance that you will have a laggy game.

 

[hitmanuk2k]

Yes good point I forgot about that. And turning off commentary should help.

 

[fastpanic]

didnot even know about the commentary thing thanks.
Usualy listen to music when I am playing anyway.

 

[hitmanuk2k]

I am not 100% sure it affects the PS2 game (it definitely affects PC). But it won't hurt to have it off anyway.

So the commentary is in the network options is it? So you can turn off stuff to make it better?

Upload or download, Question?

When you say at least a 1mb connection do you mean Upload or download speed? Thanks

 

[zuby84]

Is it possible to have one player playing with no lag while the other player has lag? ie if I have lag, will my opponent also have lag? Anyone know?

 

[hitmanuk2k]

General speaking, unless your connection quality (or theirs) changes over the course of the game, you will experience the same lag as them.

 

[W2K]

I think we should have a forum where users in here Post their username and the their internet connection, then this way we can guarantee that we will have a lag free game how about that admin?

I want to get online. Now, I don't have a network adaptor for the PS2 and I hear they aren't making them anymore. What the funk do I do? Cry?

Also, even if they did, does anybody know if they make some mad wireless adaptor for wireless internet?

 

[W2K]

their will still be retailers selling them...the reason they are stopping making them is because the slimline has a built in one

 

[s7elios]

I play regularly with PC and PS2 Players, and the suggestions listed work a treat, especially the commentary and weather reductions! Thanks for that.

what is lag

 

[FireFX_EnDD]

if the person hosting has a good up speed it would help. I think most people have a good download speed but its just the up speed that hurts.
