thx
anyone trying to play a fast paced game should already be on a wired connection, it blows my mind that so many people use wireless.
Everyone ive ever known to say that teleports on FPS & fighting games, and generally only plays mmo’s & mobas.
edit: teleports for other people that is
Powerline works fine since it’s using wired full duplex. That’s the major difference. A wireless setup can never achieve what the wired can for fighting games
Truthfully speaking wireless can be playable, but you shouldnt consistently rely on it. For instance if my parents go out of town and I camp up at their house to watch the pets while they’re gone, I play games on wireless because they don’t have TV’s near the router. I’ll play streetfighter against my friends and maybe once every hour or two we’ll have that “Oh shit woah woah woah. Wait a minute 8 seconds of jabbing at air” moment but otherwise it’s playable.
That’s the thing though. I’ll only do that against my friends. I wont play random people online and steal their points with an inconsistent connection.
If you live in your own house/apartment there is literally no reason not to be wired. Any reason you provide will just be lazy as shit. I dont know if you’ve been to colleges where the networking wiring is openly displayed along ceilings but the wires that carry internet connection for being hard wired can be cut to literally any length. Move your router. Get a big ass cord. Pick one.
anti air. and anti air more.
trust me online players still jump in even though you keep anti airing them getting free damage.
I played online today while my nephew watched HD youtube videos on the TV next to me. Wireless players ain’t got shit on me.
Guys my bad, seriously, I checked again and I’m using wired, hold your shit. I REPEAT. I USE WIRED. I MADE A SMALL MISTAKE. PLEASE. GET. OFF. MY. ASS.
You said you use wired and wireless.

Hey so…this probably isn’t the place to put this, but I didn’t want to clutter general or make my own thread.
I can only connect to SFV servers on wi-fi. I’m at college, so I have to use their internet. The provided ethernet connection is great, and I’ve never had problems playing any game online before (I can play SFIV/MKX online just fine), but I cannot connect to SFV servers using the ethernet connection, ever (not during the beta tests, or now that I have the game).
However, when I use wi-fi, I can connect to SFV’s servers just fine. The game logs me in and all is well…well except for the fact that playing fighting games on wi-fi is terrible.
Does anyone know why my ethernet connection is straight-up blocking me from playing SFV? It cannot login…every time it gets error 2100d.
so much. I got so much mileage out of HP Bolt Charge with Laura last beta, and I probably am gonna get more out of it on Tuesday lol
Possibly by pure chance, your uni might block that port on ethernet?
I’m not fully sure of that area, but I had a similar problem with Xbox Live in general a couple of years ago, thankfully my uni IT were friendly and we figured it out.
Talk to your college IT. I assume this is in halls/dorms? Because if it’s in a common room or something, good luck, you’ll need it.
Word.
Hmm. What happens if all my stuff is literally a few inches away from the router? I play wireless and it works fine. (Though PC SFV might be a completely different beast).
Wired is still better.
Still worse than wired. The small distance means you have a better signal and better speeds, but distance does nothing for things like speed drops due to the signal and electronic interference that only effects wireless. For instance if you’re fighting somebody on wireless, and somebody starts a microwave relatively near your router, you will see a decent amount of lag.
None of that happens to a wired connection
That monkey looks like it shops at Walmart and rides around on a mobility cart, flinging shit at any passers-by.
Fortunately this is an issue only for Murrican and Aussie potato broadband Internet (in 2016 btw). EU fiberlink boys
I wish everyone was wired but that will never happen. Some people do play a games casually and don’t really care. At the end of the day it’s just a game, just don’t play someone that has a bad connection again
Gaming over wifi is sub-optimal regardless of the quality of your connection.
