Holygriever

EVERYTHING IS SOLVED! Thank you, DubiousCurvLoop. With the patcher you told me to use, the port I had forwarded is now working. That kills two problems of the lot. I have fixed my AUdio problem by messing a bit with some Audio configs in my PC (namely putting it on Stereo), and everything is BEAUTIFUL now. =D I'm just yet to find someone from a nearer area to play with less lag. The best pind I got yesterday was 100 ms. =/ Thanks again.

First of all, hello everyone. They call me Grivu, and I've recently became a Guilty Gear Addict, as of June, to be more precise. The cause? Listening to Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead). I've started with Accent Core (yeah, I know), and I'm gaining some skill. I'm nothing more than a n00b compared to most of you all, but I can hold my own against the CPU on Maniac Mode, so, yeah, I guess I'm doing fairly fine. But that's not the point in my registry and posting. I got REALLY excited when I heard of this patcher that would enable online play (and thus, getting me some human opponents for a change). I've downloaded the Japanese GGXX#R, installed it, and then, I got a bit clueless. This very own topic says that the current version is the 1.09-3, but since that was "Last edited by kugler : 05-12-2007 at 03:54 PM.", I got a little unsure. The offical patcher site says that "GGXXNETv112-3.zip (2007/07/25)" is the latest version , but it seems to only contain a DLL in the compressed file, meaning I should get an older version (in my case, 1.11, I guess) and then just paste the dll over the previous one (maybe?). When I tryed it, my game just crashed accusing a "version error" of some sort. Then I tryed getting the 1.09 version (with the 1.09-3 dll), and it worked. Buuuuut, everyone in the lobby (delay 4, all that jazz) was being accused of using 1.05 version of the patcher. A friend of mine who was doing all the same patching process alongside me logged in, and we tryed to fight, aaaaaand, BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH to us. So, my doubts are: what patcher version should I use? And can someone link me to a GOOD guide on how to forward ports (portforward was good, but I would like a few other options, since I don't know if it has really worked), please? I guess those were my two main problems regarding this issue. Also, when I downloaded the game, it came with a patcher, that can be found here: I meant HERE. Seems to be an alternative to online playing. Does anyonje in here know anything about this? I also have another problem, not regarding online play, but I guess it's better to ask about it here than to make another post. My Guilty Gear Game has NO SOUND EFFECTS. I've tryed both japanese and european releases, and neither has anything besided the (kickass) music in the sound department. I'm COM-PLE-TE-LY clueless on the causes of this problem. Everything seems to be fine with the instalation and all, so, whathehell? I'd appreciate any kind of help. Thanks in advance. Let's ROCK!
