You will need a screenshot of the Dolphin netplay crash log for us to verify any erratic behavior.
COMMON NETPLAY ISSUES
De-sync at the beginning of a city trial match
This message is normal.
De-syncing at the beginning of a match is caused by the gecko codes (Fullscreen Codes) being different.
NOTE: If you notice other players moving erratically, or continually colliding against walls (not moving). You have de-synced. Restart the netplay game.
Game says I have no memory card on start up
This message is normal.
Do not have memory cards on at all.
Everything is already unlocked by default.
NOTE: This will be changed in the January 2020 build, where this check will be skipped.
De-sync on frame zero of netplay session
Make sure memory cards are disabled, make sure Gecko codes are the same.
Game is lagging/running real slow for everyone
Raise the pad buffer until you are reaching 60fps/smooth game play.
If experiencing massive control delay, make sure a player's ping is not spiking and buffer is not too high.
NOTE: Players must NOT use Wi-Fi connection, an ethernet cable is required for optimal performance.
What amount buffer should be used?
The buffer equation is Combined Ping/2. Minimum buffer as possibly allowed by the game host is desired.
If unsure, host should raise buffer until a pleasant 60FPS is reached.
Game missing upon joining netplay lobby
Verify hack pack ISO and netplay build are identical.
Run MD5 check in lobby to figure out who has an incorrect version.
Controller not registering input
A new dolphin build will require reconfiguration of controls. If not working after configuration, a problem exists outside of the netplay build with controller or other software.
