Homebrew WIP [Official] switch-lan-play

[RattletraPM]

New version

v0.0.6:
Improves latency when playing games using broadcast packets (Almost no lag , this will also improve latency for the upcoming kip)
added new `--pmtu` flag
https://github.com/spacemeowx2/switch-lan-play/releases/tag/v0.0.6

Also I might be wrong but it looks like the source for v0.0.6 hasn't been uploaded on GitHub yet? The latest commit (68e6a7c) has been made 22 days ago. Cloning the repo and building it says it's v0.0.5 (same thing happens when getting the source from the releases tab because it's an automated snapshot)

I'm mainly asking because I'm running switch-lan-play on a Linux ARM device so I need to compile it from source =/

It outputs wrong version number.
Try again now should have fixed it,
(redownload source etc)

Thanks, looks fine now!

Also I really don't want to be a nuisance - it's a very minor thing and I'm only reporting it in case you missed it - but it looks like the --pmtu flag isn't shown in the --help command line argument list.

Thanks again for all your work!

So i basically can't make it work for me. Just because right after i change connection settings on switch, i can't reconnect to it, says there is problem with dns. Any help here?)

Either you network settings on your switch are incorrect, or lan play.exe is not running correctly, try re-running lanplay,

Did all this, nothing worked. Should I give some screenshots to make sure I did everything right?

And this just in,

With the latest kip from space, smash works!!!
you have to use atmosphere 0.75 or newer!

its shown to be pretty good as long as you're not trying to play with players across the world (if you're in NA stick with people in NA and EU with EU and etc)

Latest kip can be downloaded on their discord

Wait i asked about this over a year ago on this site and no one told me about this D: you guys are poopy. Glad to know that someone actually worked on it

 

[Deleted User]

is this like xlink kai?

Basically. Lan-play and xLink are both tunnelling services, and while xLink does have an option for the Nintendo Switch, there's rarely any players online.

I don't think this existed a year ago.

I was more so joking in the sense that no one hit me up on it while i posted if anyone had worked on this on several places. I was a big fan of xlink kai/warppipe back in the day and this sort of thing was the first thing that popped into my mind when lan mode was released. I wanna check this out sometime as a curiosity

Is it possible to run the Client on debian Server ? Only Terminal console?

Is it possible to run the Client on debian Server ? Only Terminal console?

Yes. Keep in mind that the Linux binaries found on the releases page are for x86_64 only, you can run the client on other architectures but you'll have to compile it yourself.

 

[pillemats]

Oh ok thx! Is there an Tutorial?

There are instructions on the GitHub or look for the tut under tutorial

Thats it ? Nothing more ?

Ubuntu / Debian
This project depends on libpcap and libuv, you can install libpcap0.8-dev and libuv1-dev on Ubuntu or Debian:

sudo apt install libpcap0.8-dev libuv1-dev



Prepare a cmake, gcc, and run like this:

sudo apt install libpcap0.8-dev libuv1-dev

Prepare a cmake, gcc, and run like this:

You only have to install the libpcap0.8 and libuv1 if you're using the binary. The -dev packages are needed only if you're compiling it from source as they contain header files and static libraries.

PS: If you accidentally installed the -dev packages for running the prebuilt binary you're still going to be fine, the libraries will still be installed but you'll waste a small amount of disk space due to the unneeded headers 'n stuff.

 

[pillemats]

in my case it wont work:

root@HPX312 ~ > sudo apt install libpcap0.8 libuv1

Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig

Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.

Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig

E: Paket libuv1 kann nicht gefunden werden.

root@HPX312 ~ >

 

[RattletraPM]

E: Paket libuv1 kann nicht gefunden werden.

Apt said that libuv1 can't be found, yet it's in the official Debian repos for all currently supported releases and it's available for pretty much every architecture out there.

Run "apt update" and try again. If that doesn't work, post the output of "cat /etc/issue" and "lscpu".
