6a. Where to Find Matches
100
101
   A new Steam group has been formed with several active members regularly looking for
102
   matches (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/korewamelty). Players of all skill levels are encouraged to
103
   join and hop in the chat to find a match partner. Most members are currently in North America but
104
   everyone is welcome.
105
   
106
   You can also seek matches via IRC in #mbaa (channel) on mizuumi.net (server). If you do not have an
107
   IRC client, you can use this mibbit link to join the channel via your web browser:   
108
   http://bit.ly/y5e2JX
109
  
110
   Make sure to have your port forwarded (more on that below).
111
   
112
6b. Best Practices 
113
   
114
   | I am experiencing lag and/or disconnects. What can I do?
115
   Your connection to your match partner is poor or unstable. Try the following:
116
   
117
   1. Always stop any downloads/uploads/streams/torrents/etc that are running before hosting. Be aware
118
      that if you are on a shared connection your experience will be affected by the internet use of
119
      your roommates/family.
120
   2. Do not use a wireless connection if possible.
121
   3. During poor connection Melty Blood netplayers can experience what is known as a "desync". This
122
      means that the clients are no longer communicating with each other correctly. If the other player
123
      stops moving, moves in a fixed pattern, whiffs in empty space or neither starts a new match or
124
      leaves after a match has ended you may have experienced a desync. If a desync occurs, simply exit
125
      and rehost.
126
   4. If you are experiencing a significant amount of desyncs while hosting with the netplay tool, try
127
      hosting without it to allow the client to use its native delay calculation.
128
   5. It is strongly recommended to play people as near to you as possible. Most issues experienced with
129
      netplay are due to a poor connection between the two players, the risk of this is significantly
130
      reduced when the players are geographically near each other.
131
   
132
   | My connection is OK but I am still experiencing lag. What is happening?
133
   Melty Blood netplay is more resource intensive than other modes of the game. Many players find that
134
   although their computer can run versus/arcade/training mode that they will experience hardware-based
135
   lag during network play. The following steps may help:
136
   
137
   1. Under the Option menu turn off Stage Animation, Character Filter and Screen Filter. Also set your
138
      resolution to the default size (640x480) either in this menu or when starting Melty Blood.
139
   2. Open your Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) while Melty Blood is running. Go to the Processes
140
      tab, click the Image Name column header to order the list alphabetically and find MBAA.exe. Right
141
      click MBAA.exe and select High under priority. 
142
   3. In the Task Manager (see step 2) Right click MBAA.exe again and choose Set Affinity. If you have
143
      two CPUs listed, uncheck all items except the last CPU. If you have four or six CPUs listed,
144
      uncheck everything but the last two.   
145
 
146
6c. Hosting (How to Forward Ports)
147
 
148
   In order to host you will need to configure your router to forward a port. In depth guides can
149
   usually be found for your router at http://portforward.com/ which allows you to search by router
150
   manufacturer and model. A general idea of the process for most routers:
151
 
152
   1. Open Run (Start Menu > Run or Windows Key + R) and type "cmd". In the Command Prompt window type
153
      ipconfig.
154
   2. Find your computer's IP address (this will also show in the hosting screen in Melty Blood) and the
155
      default gateway (commonly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).
156
   3. Type the default gateway into your web browser's address bar.
157
   4. You may be prompted to login. The default username and password depends on your router model, you
158
      may be able to find this in the website mentioned earlier or through Google.
159
   5. Once logged in you will be looking for port or application settings. This area may be labeled
160
      connection rules, security, gaming or something similar. If you are unable to locate these
161
      settings, you may be able to Google the information for your router using the manufacturer and
162
      model information.
163
   6. Set port 46318 to forward to your IP (found in step 2) for TCP and UDP.
164
   7. Save the changes and exit.
165
   8. Check your port (http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/)
166
   9. Start hosting and have someone try to connect.
