[PC] USF4 Steam Edition discussion Tutorials/bugs/Help

Capcom is aware of the problem and are working on it. If you turn on fight request in training mode, the experience should be better.

i have more than a decent PC like you and got the same kind of issues, i tried something yesterday and it reduced lag/freezs to zero, but i need to confirm it by playing more players ,i might just crossed players with good internet/settings :

put the game at 1280x720, play in windowed mode , but disable Aero ( Aero is know to freez the game ) then try some matchs, again am not sure if this really work or it was just luck ,gonna confirm this today

I had this. For some reason Windows lowers your volume levels when you connect to a room.
Just go on Control Panel> Sound>Communications , and set “When Windows detects communications activity: Do Nothing”

ok guys ive played a hour with Nvidia Vsync and work just fine, no more half fps bug, updating first post

when I open my desktop steam screen it seems like USF4 is always downloading sth of 3.9KB
it happens once in a while - once all 3 days
whats that?

It’s syncing saves to the Steam Cloud. Disable Steam Cloud Sync for SF4.

yes, disable it because it’s slow and useless

hey guys not not having to much problems in the lag problems yet but i cant seem to find how the hell i take my freaking game out of windows mode.
thx in advance.

Alt+enter

unplayable this whole week.

I have this issue where whenever I try to upload to youtube from the game, I get an error message telling me to try again later. Anyone else gets this issue? Sometimes I don’t want to Use Dxtory

Is there any way to play SF4 on a macbook with some type of emulator or something? I have laptop that’s about 3 years old, but I’m assuming it won’t run on it. Maybe it will, but I don’t want to buy it and find out it’s not quite there.

You can install Windows using Bootcamp and run steam and SF4. Of course you need an Nvidia or AMD Graphics chip to play SF4.

Thank you. I am going to look into this right now.

Should run fine (low grafics) even with a 5 years old macbook on bootcamp. Static stage mods can help.

now that you mention it, is there any improvement in netplay if both players use static stage mods? kinda like what happened with KOFXIII

I’ve got kind of a weird issue. Having just purchased USF4 for PC and trying it out, my fight stick as an odd issue; The button I have assigned to MK, will mostly do Focus Attack by itself, and sometimes the actual MK of a given character. It doesn’t do this on my 360 or PS3, and I have no clue how to correct it. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Turned out most of my inputs are borked. LK shows LK, LP, and HP on the screen, Mk shows MK, MP, and HK, HP shows HP, LK, LP. And this is only happening on the PC.

The only data exchanged are inputs in SFIV, unless someone prove the opposite.

I should add that “low grafic” is only if you stay with default screen reso at 1440px wide. Witch is at least better than any console afaik. If you want effects, you can choose a lower reso.

Back when Vanilla was released on PC it was mentioned that GPU difference between players did affect online gameplay somehow the issue needs to be checked.

I’m not sure, but I think the update broke YouTube uploads for me. They used to upload really well, but recently all of my uploads have problems with the sound cutting in and out horribly. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix the problem but to no avail. I have nothing else running in the background, no downloads going on, and my connection is wired, so I have no idea what could have possibly made my YouTube uploading go from perfect to unwatchable.

Another problem I have is that setting VSync on in the NVIDIA Control Panel locks my game at 30 FPS and makes it run like total shit online. I saw in the OP that this is apparently not an issue anymore except, apparently, on my computer? Because, yeah, turning off VSync in the NVIDIA Control Panel makes my game test at like 200+ FPS, but having it on makes my game CRAWL. It’s terrible. Turning off the in-game VSync causes awful screen tearing and turning it on causes unacceptable input delay. This doesn’t even feel like a beta. This is like playing an early alpha build.

Can anyone help me out here? I absolutely cannot play at all like this. Especially without a regular place to play in person, online is all I have.
