This isn’t really a bug or glitch (I don’t think it is), and I’m not really ranting either so I didn’t know exactly where to put this, so I guess after the issue is resolved this can just be deleted. However, has anyone else ever gotten the message “The battle has been cancelled” the second the match starts. The game freezes at the first image that appears and after a while, that appears.
What makes it so odd is that the person I go up against happens to be a friend on PSN, so I know they aren’t quitting and we both have 3 bars of connection. We go through the character select and stage select screen, and it loads the match fine, but as soon as the loading screen ends, the game just doesn’t move and eventually and inevitably, the message “The battle has been cancelled” appears and boots us back to the lobby. We can watch one another’s games if they are versing someone else, but the problem occurs when the two of us are in a match.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, why does this happen?
The message looks like this: (btw, I did not make the video, and I’m only using the first 5 seconds to show what the message looks like)
Ive never had the issue, but more and more seems to be banking on that april 10th patch. I think people are putting more hope into that patch to “save” this game than can possibly be in the patch. Personally, I am expecting the patch to do nothing but give me a few more colors to play with. Anything else will be a pleasant surprise.
So the person I was having trouble with removed me from the endless lobby, re-invited me, and then it worked and we could verse each other. We did not thing different, so I’m curious why the first time I was in the lobby did it fail consistently (5 times in a row) and then miraculously work upon my return?
Pretty sure the April 10th patch is just tourney gem selection and sound glitch online fix (as best they could, unless something else was announced I missed? :eek:
I think this special “The battle has been canceled” message may happen at the start of a new round after a desync. This happened to me only twice in about 600 onlinegames and each time it happened I was in a party with a friend and both of us noticed that something went wrong. On both incidents, we both were just a few hits away from death and noticed strange behavior with each others character while playing (random emptyjumps, whiffing normals or just standing around). After the round ended with us questioning each other “Huh, why the hell did you do this?” we encountered the connectiondrop with said message. We once even had a different result with me winning on my screen and him winning on his side.
I´d guess this is caused after a screwup of the rollback netcode.
I’ve never experienced that problem, but what happens when it occurs with me is that the match doesn’t even start. It freezes at the first image that shows up on the screen, and then 10 seconds later the message appears before kicking us out.
I’ve had it happen 4 or 5 times, but only when I’m attempting to team up with someone online. Never had it happened when it’s just me fighting alone without a partner.
Happens more and more with network pair play. I love the ignorant hate mail I get sometimes about pulling the plug before the match even started.(Ok im lying, I hate this, and I hate stupid people.)
Check your NAT status on your router.
In SF4 I had an issue where with some friends, I could be in a party with 2 of them, but once this specific other friend tried joining if I was in, he would always time out. If he was in, then I couldn’t join the party.
When in game and came to 2 of us, disconnects.
Turns out I forgot when I got my new router to set up the Upnp and port forwarding. We both had Strict NAT’s, which mean this will happen.
Go to the networking area and run a test, it should say if your Open, moderate or Strict.
Open is best, moderate should be fine for most cases. Might have issues in some games where you are clearly a host.
Strict is all types of bad.
