However, you have to download the version depending on your OS, for example: If you have a 32 bit OS, you have to download the x86-32 folder. I recommend you trying to re-install your graphic cards, and make sure you don't have pending Windows updates.ġ_ Download this. Using the d3d9 dll, you're only using a program (SwiftShader) that allows you to run the program without using the graphic card, so the performace will lower that it would be if it used your graphic card like it should. Even before I installed the Nvidia card, the game worked fine, so was the intel integrated card that wasn't working well. Also, there was a pending Windows update for the intel card, so I also installed that.īasically, it was a problem of the computer not finding the graphic card correctly. I'd like to try and expand the modes available to online play later, but for now, it would be a considerable undertaking to even attempt to make modes like Fencing work online to my liking.Originally posted by fljotavik:I had this same problem (with another game), but in my case I fixed it by totally uninstalling both graphic cards (intel and nvidia), and installing them again. I wanted to make sure Mount Your Friends had online, but the turn-based modes were the ones I felt the most confident in putting in the game in a way that wouldn't feel broken when playing online. There's kind of a pattern of multiplayer Indie games not supporting online play, like Towerfall (whose devs actually wrote about these issues), while some games like Nidhogg try to do online, but have seen considerable backlash for their online mode performance. Most victories in fencing online would likely feel unfair for the loser, having trouble defending themselves while compensating for the lag. In a mode like fencing this matters a lot.

A player can be in a number of different poses from frame to frame given they have per-frame input on 4 different limbs. Mount Your Friends' interface on the other hand is very loose. They maintain special buffers to move game states back in time for resimulation, they make attack animations long enough that they usually take longer than the expected lag, etc. Street Fighter does a LOT to compensate for these feelings.

If you're familiar with playing games like Street Fighter online, you've probably come across a handful of matches where you felt like the enemy got in a cheap hit because of lag.
