The most common problem is that your cpu is overheating and throttling (reducing performance) to reduce heat. Also keep in mind multimedia laptops are not designed for gaming. Try using the Dolphin laptop performance guide.

If this does not resolve the issue, the player at fault must rebuild their iso as they built it incorrectly. Ensure that Wiimotes and Insert SD Card are off and disabled by both parties. This could either be your fault or your opponents fault. Essentially you two are both viewing different games.

My opponent is doing weird movements and jumping off the cliff, and they said I'm the one doing that.

If your opponent is hosting, ensure that they do the former.

If you are hosting the match, press Configure Pads in the Netplay window and ensure that your friend has a slot (it is usually ).

Make sure you have another Standard Controller set up.

Playing With More Than One Player on Your Side of the Connection

Let the host do all the Project M setup.

I tend to keep my buffer between 2-10 and only play people with pings up to 100. The higher your buffer, the more input delay but less frame lag. The lower your buffer, the less input delay, but the more frame lag (the game has less time to process your request and send it to the other player's computer).

Adjust the buffer accordingly the buffer is the number of frames of input delay into the game.

After they join your game, look at their ping.

Copy the ID on the top right of the newly opened window.

Right click on the Project M iso (7.4GB) and click Host Netplay Game.

Under Advanced, everything should be unchecked.

Cache Display Lists, and Fast Depth Calculation should be checked while OpenCL Texture Decoder, OpenMP Texture Decoder, and Disable Destination Alpha should be unchecked. External Frame Buffer should be Disabled.

Under Hacks, Skip EFB Access from CPU and Ignore Format Changes should both be checked.

Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering should be set to none for max performance, my GPU cannot handle AA but it can handle AF at 16x with no frame loss. You may increase this until you notice your frames drop. My GPU is capable of running at 4x Native with no frame loss and it proves to be a much much better image resolution.

Under Enhancements, Internal Resolution should be set to 1x native for maximum performance.

Render to Main Window should be the only thing checked.

OpenGL will be better on most NVIDIA GPU's when you enable Vertex Streaming Hack under the Hacks tab. The best one will differ depending on your computer.

Under General, your backend should either be Direct3D or OpenGL.

Under Wii Make sure that Insert SD Card is UNCHECKED.

Ensure that you have a Standard Controller under port 1 and the rest are nothing (unless somebody else is plugged into your computer). This is if you want to play melee netplay just incase.

Under Gamecube, set both memory card slots to nothing.Under Audio, ensure that the Emulator Engine is using DSP HLE and the backend is XAudio2.Under Interface, Use Panic Handlers should be the only thing checked.Under General, Enable Dual Core and Idle Skipping should be the only things checked.Make sure all wiimotes are set to NONE.Clearly the issue is network related, but I'm not sure how. However, this issue only came about after I switched internet providers. Furthermore, I don't believe it has anything to do specifically with my internet connection and quality, because I never have any problems in any other instance (downloading, or playing another video game online, for examples). One potential cause that can also be eliminated is heavy network use while I'm playing, because this still happens even if I'm the ONLY ONE using the network. I've tried using my 2G wifi instead of my 5G wifi to see if that would fix the issue, no dice. Whenever I play netplay (mostly smash bros.), doesn't matter who with, my ping will constantly flip back and forth between an expected ping (about 20-30 in most of my games, because I play with my IRL friends) and an outrageously high ping, something like 100 or 200. I'm sure this is like the 1000th post on the entire internet regarding lag during netplay, but I've yet to find a solution or even an explanation to my specific problem.
