- Latest version of Directx and Dolphin, on a Windows 8.1 computer. Specs are all up to date, capable of playing other graphics-intensive games just fine. But for this game, I get a black screen, only shows something else when it's the yellow text during boot-up. I have full audio, but nothing else.

Failed To Connect or Random Disconnects
- You and your opponent must use the same version of Dolphin or FM.
- If you're on university internet, or any internet you do not pay for personally (including some apartments), then your ports are being limited and netplay needs ports to be open in order for it to work. There is no work-around for this if you don't have access to router settings. You can however still connect with users who HAVE port forwarded (and are using Direct Connect).
- Try to change/disable one/all of the following:
- - Antivirus/Computer Firewall: Make sure you go into whatever software you are using on your computer and create a security exception for dolphin to have FULL INTERNET ACCESS or Open to all devices and make sure you SAVE your settings (this is just an example. Results may vary):
- - Modem/Router: Besides swapping to a new router, you can also try to open port 2626. see PortForward.com's Router List. If that also fails try following the Direct IP Guide Here.
Lag and dropping frames (Online Only)

If you can run Melee or PM at a constant 60 frames per second offline (playing on your own, without being connected to anybody) but find yourself constantly dropping below 60fps while playing online, you will most likely be experiencing one of the following issues. These issues will be split into two lists; a list of problems that can be solved easily and a list of problems considerably more difficult to solve, with all points being listed in order of complexity.
Solvable Issues
Misconfigured Buffer. For Dolphin 5.0-321 and Faster Melee 4.4 buffer is calculated by taking the ping (ms of delay) between you and your opponent and diving it by 8 (1 buffer for every 8 ms). Ensure your buffer is correctly set. (A little trick to differentiate Network framedrops and computer issues would be to turn the buffer up as high as possible. If you maintain 60fps at lets say 20 buffer, then the issue would be someone's network, whereas if you do not maintain a steady 60fps, then the issue would be someone's computer.)
Secondary Network Traffic (eg. Downloads, Youtube, applications such as Steam or Battle.net). Having other programs open that are particularly bandwidth heavy or make traffic requests may result in lag when playing against other people. Close all non-essentials programs of this type and, ideally, get others in your home to do the same.
Secondary Internal Application Traffic (Steam, f.lux, Rainmeter, antivirus, performance software). Open your task manager and close any programs with high CPU/RAM usage.
Deeper Issues
ISP Compatibility Issues. Some ISPs will never have required throughput to each other. For example, people using Virgin Media may only be able to host games and are not able to join others' lobbies. This problem may also be caused by your router, rather than your ISP, being unable to sustain the necessary throughput.

Physical Hardware Issues. A bad network card, failing hard drive, touchy ram, bad board controllers, or heat on your CPU, GPU, or network card
Network Interface Issues. This would require person-to-person interaction to be explained.
Other Things To Note
High download/upload speeds do not guarantee a smooth netplay experience. Most ISPs send you a bunch of books spaced at longer intervals, whereas Dolphin needs a constant stream of small envelopes to function fully.
If you get a ping spike every 4, 5, 8, or 10 seconds predictably its a scheduled dialout on router or computer side. Close all programs and see if it still happens.

If you spike randomly: disconnect devices (phones, tablets etc.) from wireless if possible or applicable and stop secondary net use.

If you spike and there's absolutely nothing else going on its probably inherent to your modem router or ISP. At this point you will have to set the buffer higher than usual in order to compensate.
