I’ve been playing online without installing the game to my hd (flame suit on, lol). Honestly, it plays just fine, zero lag, and each person I play with we go for several matches (I do have NAT 2 though). Are you guys just complaining about the load time before the fight actually starts?
amen to that!!! why do ps3 users stand lag?
Yes the load time before it starts as well as the character select screen.
guys I have a combo (modem + wireless router) and I cannot get rid of NAT3 type connection…
My modem is Speedstream 4200 and the wireless router is Dlink WBR-2310…
Can anybody help me on getting NAT2 or 1 by port-forwarding or anything else?
I have it DMZ’d and fix IP’d (192.168.0.101) but I cannot get past that @#$$% NAT3 message on my PS3.
agree it’s VERY important
Disconnections in between rounds:
I see a few users posted this question, but nobody has answered it. Whenever I play online every 3 matches I play result in a disconnect! This only happens in between rounds, or at the very start of the first match, either the end of the match. This leads me wondering if this is a syncing problem from P2P back to the capcom server.
Yet, since almost nobody reports this problem it seems it’s not the common experience, so what can I do about it?? According to my stats I’m at 0% disconnects, so capcom doesn’t register my connection loss as a disconnect. This happens in matches against friends too, and the both of us would still be at 0% disconnects. PSN never logs off, and there is nobody down or uploading to mess up the connection.
I’m in NAT 2, I have a 20Mbit / 1Mbit connection. I’m using a Apple AirPort Extreme Router and have 100% wireless connection on te PS3. Using an ADSL 2 modem, wired to my router.
Please if anyone has a clue, I hope you take the time to answer my request.
I have counted 172 disconnects from 500 matches I played… it’s really frustrating.
I also did this lol 
thank god you posted this… lol
i can count at least 20 times ive played people who havent installed the game and ive only had the game on the ps3 for only a good 24 hrs. I hope they dont do this, or they make it a mandatory install for SSF4
Port forwarding FTW!
I have NAT type 2 but, I never see anyone with better than a 4 bar connection. How do I fix this? This thread is sort of all over the place so I thought I would just ask again.
I think installing the game should be mandatory.
My game is installed and I’m on NAT 2 but my games are still choppy even with bars of 4. I did a speed test of my network and I seem to be doing:
Download: 4.55 Mbs
Upload: .66 Mbs
Could the upload speed seriously be the problem why 90% of my games are choppy?
