anyone getting random disconnects since the patch?
Before the patch I never had any issues.
I’ve lost connection to the server in two games since yesterday.
I used to play Lounge matches against my friends all the time with no problems. Since the maintenance this is no longer possible. All lounge matches are garbage. What’s weird is I ran into my friend in Ranked 2 minutes after giving up on the Lounge cause of lag and had zero problems in Ranked. Tried Lounge again and went back to sh*t.
I do not know if it is people rage quitting after the world screen or the servers acting up as it has given the 40002 error a few times causing me not to be able to play the match.
Net code wise this game has been horrible for me. The only time it seemed to work well was at launch week, strange enough. At first I thought “Wow, this is amazing. It’s just like playing offline!”. Really went downhill since then. For a few weeks now, I think I’ve had somewhat lag free matches vs maybe two people. I made a topic here on SRK on how Battle Lounge was pretty much unplayable for me and after that I went back to ranked/casual, but it was the same thing there, more or less but perhaps a little bit better than Lounge. I live in Sweden and only play against people from Europe with 5 bar connections. Really frustrating when SF4 worked just fine for me.
I want to like the game for the core gameplay, but it’s getting harder and harder…
Perhaps you need to talk to your ISP and make sure your network setting is correct.
It’s not certain ISP’s or routers or any of that bullshit. That is called an excuse. It’s not 1 or 2 people having issues. It’s like 1/2 of the community with randomly different issues.
I too used to think the netcode was great (and still do when I am in a good connection) but I’ve also noticed weird shit like dropped inputs and stuff, even in good connections. I didn’t notice that when the game launched, but it could also have been because I was in the honey moon phase and thought I was just missing inputs and shit.
The net code is really good. Much better than SFIV.
I hope it stays this way & other games such as T7 FR & KOF XIV are as good.
**Before the patch **: Almost no rollback
After the patch : Impossible to play
I hate patch day.
what bars, in the lounge? i wouldn’t trust that at all. sometimes full bars are terrible on there. the lounge is fucked up and needs a proper update rather than 8 man lobbies, like much faster updates of where the host is from, his connection, and if the lounge is full or not. wi-fi sucks but some people don’t have a choice. for those that do i hope they read these threads and change.
Seems like most people I run into are using Wi-Fi instead of using a cable connection. It’s driving me bonkers. If the bars fluctuate between 3-5 bars, that’s pretty much a dead giveaway.
So please, anyone reading this: Stop using wireless. Fighting games aren’t meant to be played wireless.
Sure, maybe the guy using wireless isn’t seeing the same lag as their opponent. That’s a potential situation. But regardless, wireless is horrible for Street Fighter.
Really? Mine has been the opposite problem. Even forcing the connection to 5, I’d still get rollback pre-patch. Post-patch, I’ve had literally 0 issues with rollback. It is likely still way too early to tell, but so far the experience is better for me, not worse.
That said, I do recommend everyone force the connection to 4 or 5. It solves a ton of issues by itself.
What is this patch you are talking about?
I haven’t seen a single fucking patch since release.
They’re talking about the recent server maintenance.
Having played for a while now, and gotten up into Super/Ultra Silver, I’m definitely noticing slight actual lag. I’ve had a few instances where I know I was already holding downback when I got hit by a low after a jumpin, and there was no rollback. Unless the game engine’s weird about these things.
Thought I had gotten it fixed after restarting router and opening a bunch of ports for SF5, as I had some really good matches afterwards. It still seems quite hit and miss though, with ranked/casual being better than lounge for the most part, but still random. So it’s probably more about who you play (duh, of course, but they’re all 5 bar). Country flags and bars seem to pop up more for me now, but that also seems random between searches. The thing that seems really retarded to me, especially with how poorly country/bars work in lounge, is that we can’t filter by region anymore. It’s so tedious to go through different lobbies to check where the host is from and when I’m hosting I have to sit and kick US/Japan players for a good while.
I spend so much more time not playing matches in 5, compared to 4. I really hope they do more to lounge than just adding 8 player lobbies, which is something I don’t personally use anyway. Maybe it will get more people to battle lounge, which seems quite empty to me when I search, but I doubt it in its current state.
Rollback is better after patch now for me but the jury is still out, I think I’m just getting lucky.
Yeah I think I was just getting lucky, I mean it seems better but I still get plenty of shitty “5 bar” matches. Very frustrating.
I think they fixed the desync but really broadened what a five bar connection is. Everyone is probably searching only for 5 bar because of the desync issue so Capcom feels like they have to broaden what 5 bar is or else no one will find matches that fast.
I’ve noticed it too. Before the patch, I could have it set to search for 4-5 bar connections and get quality matches. Now, I have to set it to 5 bars only. Anything less than that sucks now. I even had one match freeze at the win screen. 
One problem I’ve been happen since the Monday update.
After a match in battle lounge where you select to play again(in a first to 3 for example) the timer will rundown ever though both players agreed to play again and freeze for about 30 seconds the kick us back to the lounge.
It was crazy annoying last night. One player is on PC the other on ps4. I haven’t tried to recreate this ps4 to ps4
I’ve actually had that same problem happen to me in ranked. Only once though
