SFV Battle lounge - does it work at all?

amrraed · 2016-03-03T04:03:28.000Z

metric:

I can search for games and join them, but I haven’t been able to create a lounge for over a week now.

Same here. However, this only applies to my main account, my alt account can create and join normally.

Are both accounts on the same hardware?

What is symmetric NAT ? Is there anyone who can actually join battle lounges without errors?

Yesterday was the only time where I had trouble creating a lounge. It’s never been a problem for me.

BL works well for me but only after I’ve enabled the “game mode” from my technicolor router settings. Now i can also invite friends and play.I have a private IP.

But why on earth the battles in lounge don’t give me FM or LP? I have to go only through ranked and casuals?

"Current Fixes

We have also made a few additional fixes on the server side recently.

An issue where some users could not be found in Rival Search is now resolved.

Fixed an issue with players being disconnected immediately after creating a Battle Lounge."

Creating a new steam account and then family sharing the game worked for me, which confirms that it’s absolutely on their end.

I tested logging into my steam account from another computer at another location and it brought up my FM, CFN favorites, and replays, but not my account ID, LP, or favorite character settings, and wouldn’t show my opponent’s info in the lobby, either. I was, however, able to connect to BLs from there, so it might still be something account specific rather than hardware but results are inconclusive. I’ll need to test someone else’s steam account from my hardware and connection to know for sure.

Yes, same hardware and same settings.

Fascinating. I’m wondering if the issue might be related to something about CFN IDs, such as length. Mine is really stupid and maxes out the character limit, but I couldn’t say if that has anything to do with the problem or not.

I’ve currently only found two people that I’ve been able to connect with and the only thing they have in common that I’m currently aware of is that their CFN IDs both have six characters, but more testing is required before I can determine whether this is a coincidence or not.

I get disconnected from my battle lounge after a min of trying to host one.

I have the same problem, but my CFN ID is 8 characters. If I switch to a secondary Steam account (which is linked to a different CFN ID) i can create and invite people to lobbies. That’s weird…

I’m not sure about how it works with random people since I haven’t tried since the release but with 4 of my friends, it’s been great, with only disconnect from lounge.

Train130 · 2016-03-09T20:08:56.000Z

sometimes it does work, but usually don’t. For example I was watching dalydot last night…and Snake wanted to play vs Mike Schiller Danke, and they couldn’t connect to same lobby…
If I try to connect to random lobbies, I can connect maybe once out of 15 different tries…that sux

Tested BL with another person whose name has six characters and it was just a coincidence. Back to the drawing board on that one.

Did all of you participate in the beta and did you use the same name? Whats your CFN IDs?

KungFoo · 2016-03-12T20:58:04.000Z

If I invite anyone my lobby crashes as they try to join…

I get no info on connection on lobbies I search for.

Most of the time I can’t connect to a lobby
