Feels like they did mess with the netcode or something.
Insanely hard to anti air now, Inputs get dropped constantly, Making the game insanely hard to even play.
Why does this bullshit always happen to PS3?
If it’s really that much better on Xbox, I guess I’ll be spending my summer buying one and learning stick. Ugh.
I’ve only noticed this on fat ps3s, even at a tournament this last weekend but we didnt play tournament on fat ps3s.
On the slims, I haven’t noticed any issues, but I don’t play online because it’s garbage. Offline play has been fine for me though.
PC version sucked for a week or so, but they’ve made some patches. Not the same as before, but it’s probably better than PS3. Especially in the load times department.
The game was never playable on PSN in North America.
Disappointed on how bad it is on ps3. I will wait till hard disk comes out. Maybe most issues will be fix by then
Well Ill be playing Ultra and so Ill take mental notes and tell you guys how it is on his normal slim model tomorrow. Got a Qanba stick today since Ill be able to use it on his PS3 and on my computer. :S Hopefully he doesnt switch to 360 over this.
EDIT: he canceled today since everyone kept dropping like flies on us.
For what it’s worth, I’m having these slowdown issues on a Super Slim (CECH-4001B).
I’ve been getting better results as soon as I started hosting training mode only and putting my ps3 through DMZ (as bad as that is). Just don’t play anyone that has anything less than 4 green bars.
Is anyone else getting randomly kicked of psn during matches? It’s been terrible the last couple days and it’s almost always at night for me. I must’ve gotten kicked off more than 10 times in the last couple days. This is so pathetic.
I’m having the same issues, I hope they fix the netcode. Any word if it is any better on 360, online play that is?
My largest problems are with the netcode too. Somehow it went from playable (with AE) to utter crap. It’s borderline unplayble for me. I wish I could get a refund and buy it on 360. The only reason I got it on PS3 anyway was because my gf is borrowing my 360… 
I lose PP when I win regularly, I get the message (Waiting for other players) before every match that I play. Also when i’m searching for a lobby sometimes I see 3 players with the same username and when I try to join it takes at least 30 seconds to load and it doesn’t even work.
X box isn’t bad…I don’t get the “loading” message as it breaks combos. It is much worse though than it was from SF4-AE 2012 for most games. From launch to ultra I could play a few hours and maybe get 1-2 laggy matches and now am getting a few an hour. Though, I was able to play people I know are from California (I’m by New York) lag free and that is improved. The random distance improvement isn’t worth the random lag…SF4 wouldn’t have done as well if the connection issues launched this bad. 5 Green bars should not degrade into lag and those stupid loading messages.
Isn’t like all us X box players aren’t getting PS4 so hope this gets sorted out for the future.
Online on PS3 is fucking joke. How could the netcode be at its worst in the 5th iteration of this game? ffs fix this shit please crapcom
It’s not just ultra. AE here in Japan is horrific, disconnects galore, shudders etc
I must be the only one not having issues, online or off. Rarely I’ll run into some hiccups online with Decapre’s U2 or something, but again its rare. Not sure if you guys got a bad download or what. Try redownloading the game maybe?
I have downloaded the game again on my PS3 and the frame rate issues are still there for offline. I have also played it on a 360 and it was so much smoother. So we now have input lags that are still there, stuttering offline(outside of training mode) & laggy online on the PS3. I am not even sure if it can be fixed via patch, but I am doubtful. I have brought this issue up to capcom at Capcom Unity a number of times, but no one has gotten back to me regarding this.
Decapre’s U2 lags on xbox online too, but it goes before the animation is finished.
@TheBf666 - it would cost them money to fix/patch. We probably won’t see it.
