I was playing with a friend online, we could see each other on Pioneer 2, but I could not see him when we traveled to Mine 1. He could see me. We fought in two parallel worlds where we each had to fight the enemies separately, but somehow we could break boxes for each other (no items).








 








We are both playing on Wiis with Devolution on disks we ripped ourselves. The disks remain in the drives








We both have respectable internet speeds (50-100 Mbps)








We are both located on the USA's east coast and in major cities.








 








The obvious answer would be lag, but considering this game can be played on dial-up and we each have reasonable internet speeds, I would think that wouldn't be the problem. We tried a few times (restarted) before we were able to see each other while playing in Mine 1. But 10 minutes into play his character stopped moving on my screen. He could still see me taking damage. I could not see him taking damage.








 








I would appreciate any input you might have. I probably offered too much info. But i'd be happy to answer any pertinent questions. We each have played this game for 10+ years in offline mode. So excited to try out the quests I have heard so much about.








 

It sounds like the games simply de-synced for some reason - I used to get that every so often back when I was on my old connection (internet sharing connection through my PC - with the connection being bluetooth to an old GPRS cellphone).



I've had it happen on occasion on the Gamecube in a LAN environment as well - albeit not that bad.



Usually the best way to sort it is for both players to return to Pioneer 2 then go back to the area they had the issues.
