Netcode

[Neclord]

Watched some people playing SFxT on the stream.
I saw no big lags so far. Just the sound glitch, but it doesn’t make the game laggy.

[Wikum]

yea i’m watching arturo’s stream right now and it’s the same deal. no overly noticeable lag, but the sound is choppy as hell in some games. luckily i can play fighters to an ok level without having the sound on, so i’ll just mute the sfx until it’s patched. but i know that this stuff is really big for most players…and i definitely do play a little bit better when i can hear all the hits connect.

[AndyG]

I don’t know how it’s such a big deal, when you’re at a tournament you usually can’t hear what’s happening on the screen

not that I don’t want it fixed, I see how it can put a damper on play at home, but to actually affect your play? might wanna change up your training methods

Lol is combo beast arturo trolling you guys?

EDIT: Mistake. I went on the stream and saw the win streak, so I assumed.

Best in Europe is free for obvious crossups.

Rollback net-code is a step in the right direction. But it’s a damn shame that they didn’t just license GGPO and be done with it.

Hopefully Capcom patches this soon to fix the audio glitches, fix the dropped inputs, fine tune the code to avoid slow-downs, and to introduce a small(better yet user-defined) client-side input delay to smooth things out. Maybe they can hire Ponder to help out?

WHY IS SOMETHING AS BIG AND OBVIOUS AS THE SOUND GLITCH IN A TOP NAME GAME FROM A BIG COMPANY, WTF.

:tup: SMOOTH AS BUTTER :tup:

I am playing some smooth as butter matches on the PC version of AE right now. It’s so much fun. I think you guys should join me.

EDIT:
I only wish that the login for this forum could be SMOOTH AS BUTTER so that I could actually post about how SMOOTH AND BUTTERY this SF4 netcode is.
Somone in Finland is in my Endless lobby trying to get some of that butter. I can’t wait. :party:

It’s also as slow as swimming through a vat of congealed butter when it lags.

My Internet has been extremely iffy the past couple of days, but both games I tried to play online were a slideshow ending with a dropped connection. I just hope it’s my Internet/the player I was trying to connect to’s Internet, and not the netcode.

[Joshkaz]

Sound glitch is annoying, but the net code is great. Me and my friend are playing duo in rank and theres no noticeable lag, able to do everything perfectly fine even react to shit.

[d3v]

i’m just curious as to why the reviews for this netcode are so mixed.

i was watching someone stream this on twitch and he decided to test the netcode for a while. he hosted a room, playing about 15 different people, then gave his opinions of the connection after every match. he pretty much kept saying the code was way better than sf4. and from what i could tell just from witnessing it, it seemed better too. no slow down or anything like that…only thing was the audio glitch. he even said he played someone on a 1 bar connection and it was better than any 1 bar he’d ever played in any game period.

so this got me wondering…perhaps this game is based around who hosts the lobby more than sf4 was?

Because reviewers don’t know any better and don’t understand rollbacks.

Combo beast is BEASTING on people on Arturos stream right now. When its his turn at least. Great stuff.

What’s the link to Arthuro’s stream?

Edit: and losing to me mind you.

I was watching the stream, nice rolento gl0ry. Also how was you fight agains Combo beast in terms of rollbacks and delays??

Oh and he has 2 bars.

He was fluctuating between 1 and 2 bars. I had little to no input delay and the game rarely ever rolled back, but the game would frameskip/pause randomly and cause some of my inputs to be dropped. That is normal though, you can’t fix someone’s crap connection. Had this been sf4 or marvel, I’d have like 1 second input delay…

[Syrzbznz]

I have to say I’m having a bad experience.
Me and my friend, has the same ISP, live only 5mins away on foot yet I’m getting rollbacks and delay. I don’t know… maybe it’s because of the sound problem that’s causing me to think that. I don’t know about you guys but I prefer SSF4’s netcode better, I’m seeing characters blocking suddenly get hit and flying all over the place. It isn’t consistent. At least in SSF4 there is delay but it is consistent to what’s happening onscreen.

But I have to say I’m pretty impressed when playing against someone from US. The difference in SSF4 to this great but of course the rollbacks happen more frequently and more insane things happen.

It’s most likely the sound bug causing a perception. I felt the same way you did at the start. If you even browse this thread you’ll see some people saying it’s getting better over time… it’s just a matter of getting more comfortable with the game. The more you play you should notice that you don’t really miss anything online and that’s the sign that it’s a good netcode.

People can hate all they want. It’s a solid netcode and hopefully later on people will come to realize that.

Yeah… Hopefully you are right. Did SF4’s netcode start off poorly before getting patched overtime and became that great?

[Theautophobia]

What games are we playing. This is at its very best equal to sf4 line. Which was solid which is why we compare it to so many others. Once they patch the sound thing ill be happy.

This game is not the next coming of netcode. A lot of you are just happy to be playing it.

Don’t say its the next coming then 2 weeks from now start complaining.
