Ignition wants to IMPROVE KOF netplay. CALLING ALL OF SRK! BE HEARD NOW!

Just made my post. Hopefully Ignition can pull through for us :tup:

Contributed, I hope they do go with better netcode in the end.

So you’re the one that did that?? I suggest NOT doing that.

If you put your name as GGPO SNK may think what i thought, “PEOPLE FROM GGPO ARE JUST TRYING TO GET THEIR NAME OUT THERE BY SPAMMING US”.

Bad idea if you really want GGPO, IMO.

Yea, use a real name.

Query: How is it that SNK can put GGPO in KoF12 now? Would they have to release en entirely new version of the game for that? I don’t think it would be as simple as simply removing what netcode they have right now and shunting in entirely new code, but I could be wrong.

Sadly, I think the best bet is to hope they can fix whatever they have right now. Might not be possible though. :expressionless:

Haha, I remember once snk released a card game for ds based on snk fighting games, and there was a place where you got stuck and couldn’t go further based on bad code. They recalled the games and sent everyone new ones. If it got so bad that they had to rewrite the code from scratch, they probably would do something like this.

I also chuckle at the amount of people who automatically say “USE GGPO”. I’ve seen that in every recent fighting game thread that has netcode, KOF or not.

I mean, the code works, but isn’t necessarily perfect. There has to be some bit of red tape topping every game developer from using it. Even if it’s “open source” I imagine that there are probably some issues that developers would rather avoid from using someone else’s code in their games.

Though I have concerns that little to nothing will come of this outside of hand waving, I have continued to post/twitter about the issue because it’s just that important. GGPO would lend this game, future games in the series, and SNKP/Ignition instant credibility.

As a side note, this morning I played a MvC2 match online with no noticeable lag. Afterward, I sent a “gg” and learned that my opponent was in the UK. I am in Chicago. Sigh.

Umm what netcode is BB using now? They could use that one for XII.

There’s just no way the netcode is going to fundamentaly change, sure it can be tweaked but it’s not like they can just rip out what is there and drop in something completely different, certainly not something you can do with a patch either.

Why not? Depending on the size of the update and how it’s implemented, it could be possible.

I’m not ruling out any possibilities. After all, I’m not a developer. I’m guessing you aren’t either. I’m not going to pretend I coded the thing and make assumptions like this. Let’s just wait it out and see.

if they dont fix this shit Im returning it

Well I’d like to be proven wrong, I really would but I just can’t see it happening. I am a developer, I can’t think how it’d be possible to replace something so fundamental without taking months and months (not to mention a crap load extra on the budget)

America sucks.

^Yeah, especially on Mondays :rofl:

Signed. (and posted on their forum)

All righty, I made sure to sign up to the SNK/Ignition forums and post my concerns.

I do certainly hope they change the netcode for the better. It’s the first step in the right direction.

Did they ever heard of beta testing?

Did you ever heard of engrish?

D: uuawhaa?

Anyway, yes it’d be possible to change the netcode to GGPO, it’s kinda like ripping layers out of a photoshop project, it’ll create a ripple affect that you have to go back and patch up to work with whatever you replaced the original thing with.

It’s not going to happen overnight though guys, so sit tight.

I loved my last match, it was lagged and I wasn’t playing, I was watching another person’s match.

With all due respect, there’s no reason for this crap.

Richard Li also agrees.
