Essential improvements

To enable online play, the third-party netplay patch is essential.

Patches

Third-party netplay patch

Netplay patch - Currently hosted on the Wingdreams website.
The patch uses a lobby system, whereby players can idle, watch matches or challenge others. In addition, players can be blocked if need be, by selecting their name and blocking as necessary. No communication is possible, although players can add their own personalized message in the edit message section of the netplay utility (ggxxnet_config.exe).
Instructions[citation needed]
  1. The Japanese version of the game must be installed.
  2. Extract the contents of the netplay patch into the game directory.
  3. Open ggxxnet_config.exe to set your player name, ensure "guiltygear.wingdreams.net/lobby.cgi" is in the Lobby Script/Text Address box and then open the main ggxx.exe file.
  4. Go to Options, then turn Short Cut to ON.
  5. Save, then return to the main menu.
  6. You can now use the network and replay features.
