Setting the volume to zero in the Xbox 360 version just means that the music plays really quietly. The only way to replace it is to play something through the media player. Since the PC version doesn’t have a media player, it looks like PC users are stuck with the horrible original soundtrack.
It sounds like this is an exact port of the Xbox 360 version with some extra visual options. The least they could have done is added cross-platform play. What a wasted opportunity.
Turn off the damn music, and play MP3’s in winamp instead then. PC’s can multitask, you know. What’s the point of including an MP3 player in SF4 when you can just as easily play them yourself in the background with in-game music turned off?
You won’t have time to listen to your fave death metal song during a fight that lasts 2 minutes anyways.
do you read you stupid norwegian?
the music still plays faintly and clash when playing with mp3’s i dont know about you, but i have my pc running through a real good lcd with a sound system to match.
and i can still hear the stupid j-pop soundtrack ,
asnd say i want to play with no bgm and no music just want to hear sound fx what do i do then.
this is a bug and needs to be fixed.
next time you idiot read before posting non sense
The PS3 version has the same problem.
AFAIK it’s always been like that. You only need to do the number it says on the quota to pass, but you need to do all of them if you want a gold medal. 
sup guys, i’ve been a lurker on these forums as well.
I just installed the PC version of SF IV, and was out to find a good joystick to use.
anyone have experience with this Hori stick?

Is it good for the PC?
Is there a possible cheaper alternative for a joystick?
That stick is decent. But for the standards of someone who plays lots of fighting games and has lots of experience with arcade sticks, that stick is on the lower end.
It is definately the best stick you can get for that price. But if you want to bump it up a little bit, 60-70, you can get a SFIV SE Stick, for 100-120 you can get a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3, and for 150 you can get a SFIV TE Stick.
But the Hori Fight Stick (the one that you mentioned) is definately the best for that price. And since you’re new to joysticks, I bet you won’t notice to much of a difference. I have a friend that is just getting into SFIV and has never played on a joystick before, so I let him have my Hori Fight Stick.
That is not a bug. Quota means the least amount of wins required to get a silver crown.
You need to stop calling people idiots, horsedick.
Great! I appreciate the prompt response
Yeah, i’m not a hard core gamer, and plus I actually work for J&R and get a good discount on this stick. Unfortunately, we do not carry the higher end models, or I would definitely buy those discounted, haha.
Thanks for the tip, I can’t wait to play!
Any news on the DLC outfits already in the PC game or is it to come?
The Fighting Stick 3/EX 2 has quality control problems, but I would still recommend it since even Mad Katz’s $150 joystick has quality control problems. I ended up having to replace the circuit board and buttons on mine because they went bad. It’s the best you can get for under $100, though.
sorry bro, but you need to read a bit , and its clear the point i was making before hand.
and to the user above, nope the dlc is still dlc and will be availible to buy via live.
Welcome to the fighting games community 
you can to setup the keyboard keys pretty easy, but the game overrides your configuration with the default one on the game menus and on important places as the character selection screen. the arrow keys should to work on the menus, but not with the ASDZXC, only with the Escape and Enter keys, and its not hard to implement. I hope they start fixing those little glitchs as soon as the game got released worldwide.
they should also make a better pad configurator for the game aswell. Mainly the pregame setup, i had to reinstall the PPJoy and reconfigure my lptswitch based stick completly in order to paly the game. On the first setup, the one you find on the game launcher, the game simply wasnt recognizing the Button n1.
Glad to see that I’m not the only one that did all these. :karate:
This. The SF4 online interface is complete garbage, and the LIVE interface being shoved down our throats is pretty lame. They needed to copy GGPO’s setup and bring line mode from HDR. It’s pretty lame you can’t even see your ping to another player, just bars. Hopefully some kind of GGPO-esque 3rd party utility is released.
Apparently Blazblue’s netcode is better than HDR’s which is based on GGPO.
weird, i can turn off everything… everything everything… no guy no music… non what so ever…
hmm wierd, after playing with the keyboard and switching back to the joystick, it somehow miraculously came back to life all of sudden o_O
