Fixing a Problem with NPC by Disable Duelist Interaction

I don’t know if you have a same problem like me When I duel NPC this game will stop working during a duel and a lot of times Opponent Disconnect (NPC Disconnect).

I try a lot thing from download and repair an installaion enable and disable Anti-Aliasing and run a Campatability Mode but none of them working until I try to disable Duelist Interaction in Duel Option Menu I turn all of them off and It’s work! I can duel NPC without problem over an hours.

I face this problem since they added 4 new NPC on 2010/4/23 and now It’s still having a problem, Contact Konami support will not help me They will told a basic thing like update your windows, update your driver.

I hope they will fix it in the next patch or is it just me who have this problem?

It’s going to be Yu-Gi-OH Online Alternative for console game. It look a lot like Yu-Gi-OH Online Duel Accelerator but you can play it offline with 5D’s Character. Here a comparison about 2 game feature

Rank matches is Online play for this game but you can play it offline with 5D’s Character – YO3 You can’t play it offline

Quick Match = Auto Duel in Duel Accelerator

Custom Match = Create a Custom Duel in Duel Accelerator

Customization of gameplay rules = Change Regulation in Duel Accelerator

Purchase a new decks = Boosterpass in YO3

Tag Duel = None in YO3

Text and Voice Chat = Chat Message in Duel Accelerator (but no voice chat in YO3)

Events/ Trade Cards/Rent Cards/Customization Duel Speech and Duel Logs : (no information for Decade Duels) but We have it in YO3.

Graphic : You can see Decade Duels screenshot from http://www.konami.com/games/ygo5ddecade/ – YO3 have 2d field with 3d Animate Character (no 3d monster) and Graphic look a lot like Tag Force game for PSP but only 1024×768 Full Screen Resolution. Decade Duels may have a High Definition Graphich because It’s the first Yu-Gi-OH game for next generetion console.

Live Leader Boards = Tournament Points Ranking in YO3

Update Version – There will be a new booster pack and cards for player in Decade Duels and YO3 but for Decade Duels their is no information about an update. I mean one of Benefit for Yu-Gi-OH Online is The game will change to a new version when 2-3 Years had passed and You will not lose Your Profile and cards you collect when it change to a new version (From YO1 to YO2 and Become YO3).

There is not much information right now about Decade Duels but a lot of game feature are the one from Yu-Gi-OH Online with a new name.

The Most Important in How much it cost for a New Cards/Structure Deck. Duel Accelerator now have a same price with In Real Life [300 Yen = 2 In-Game Booster Pack/In Real Life 150 Yen for 1 Booster Pack] but it’s cheaper for Structure Deck (Buy 1 Boosterpass and you got a Structure Deck but You can get only 1 Structure Deck).

If Decade Duels can offer a cheaper price and add a Trade Feature and Event. It’s going to be popular. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Decade Duels will be available in Q2 2010 on XBOX Live Arcade . When I have an information I will compare it again.

Better In-Game Graphic Enable Anti-Aliasing

This is a basic stuff If you are PC Gamers but some people may not know or forget to set it, There is no Graphic Detail setting in this game if you want better graphic you must set it in Your Driver Setting by increase 3D Quality Level and Enable Anti-Aliasing.

It depend on your Graphic Cards I use ATI Radeon when I want to increase 3d Quality and Enable Anti-Aliasing I will go to Catalyst Control Center.

Don’t use Application setting (remove it) and set an Anti-Aliasing setting (I prefer 8x but 4x is fine) then click apply. It will look much better than the default one.

Before

After 4X Anti-Aliasing

When I got a screen capture from someone or read blog/forum I always see a default one (No Smooth Edge) This is why I think some people may not know it.

YO3 Full Version When it release?

I just want to answer someone who curious about When we can access all Yu-Gi-Oh Online 3 Menu. There is no one know about it it’s up to konami but we can see how it’s look like.

It take times for konami to release it and I can remember how long it is in YO2 (more than 9 month). Even you see some of future data but you will never know when they are going to release it.

When they add a future data please don’t expect them to release soon. a lot of time it take at least 1-2 month before they are going to release.

We already know all of The main menu in this game (Edit Deck, Card Album, Rental Card List, My Profile, D-Mail, Duel Log, Team, Friend List, Ignore List, Leader board, Booster Pass, Duel Option and Return to Title) and know all of the area (Kaiba Corporation, Stadium, World Tournament Grounds, Satellite, Plaza, Arcade, Blister’s Hideout, My Hideout) but We will never know when all of them are available.

Konami will never release all of them at the same time We need to wait and I just got a rumour from Neowing.co.jp They said at 2010/7/17 We can now access Crimson Crisis and New NPC+New Avatar Item.
