Sounds interesting but, what does using Steamworks mean for it’s netcode? SSF4 AE’s lag is higher in PC (under Windows Live but w/e) than on PS3.

23

Anyone’s guess. one would hope that they would take this extra time to fix the netcode but it’s SNKP.

24

Steam is a content delivery system. It has nothing to do with how the game is coded.

It’s up to the developers to make the netcode decent.

25

Still better than GFWL.

26

Compulsively checking the Steam apps page for kof 13 like I do every week and HEY! Looks like they added the game to a new package not only 6 hours ago!

So friggin’ excited, you have no idea! Hopefully it won’t be too long before we see a release date!

35

So will there be no online without ggpo or…?

36

info@snkplaymore.co.jp - write to SNKPlaymore about the netcode (at least for titles after this release). They are already working with Tencent who have a wonderful rollbacks netcode for it’s Xhuan… whatever title.

37

SNKP themselves will be handling the PC release. Altus and Rising Star have nothing to do with it.
