The "Official" Street Fighter 4 PC Thread (read first post)

This option is as near as you can get to filter out countries with a huge distance to you. English is a default,so even chinese can have english as his search priority. And some players just want to play against a foreigh country.

I wish it would show everyone who’s online and their ping to me,but you can’t have everything. Learn to live with what you got there.

Simple way will be not to choose english as a search priority. As explaind above,it’s a default language. I rarely choose it myself. Go with French,Deutsch,Italian,Espaniol,Russian. Bunch of good players there(France especially)

The problem is when I search for German, French etc., no players are shown. :crybaby:

Im wondering if there are many Europeans playing in G2 and G1, could be me still being at G3-E lol.

So, those of you in G2 and G1, do you (Europeans) come across good connections (Other Europeans) right there?

Thank you.

You should not have any problems in CP mode. Quick match. No good connections - create a match.

I am european, and I’m in G2, and I don’t have problems finding good connections… :slight_smile:

I think I have to get to G2 ASAP!!!
Barely a European to play against in G3 :crybaby:

Would the nVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT 512 MB AGP 3D Video Graphic Card be a better card and work for sfiv?

G1 games are hard to find, but it depends on the day and time also. Sometimes you will find several players waiting, and other times it’ll be empty for hours.

You can send friend requests to good players on the replay list. I sent plenty of friend requests during G2 also so there are usually some friends to play in player matches when championship is empty.

I hope many players join G1 because championship is an awesome mode but it needs a large player base to work.

Game could run with that card, but as I told you it will not work well. You need a better computer not only better card. You can build a new gaming computer (only the case and components, using your current mouse, keyboard and monitor) for 300-400 euros for Street Fighter 4 and capable of playing almost all current PC Games comfortably.

Get a new motherboard, you aren’t getting anywhere on AGP.

Edit: nvm
Ranked match and Player match are way better in terms of connection.
I choose Custom match and setup everything to Any in both modes and there are very many good connections.

Only CP mode sucks for me, there are like no players right there, I basically can’t get from G3 (emptyness) to G2 (crowdy paradise), because there is no one to fight against.

takes me forever to find good 4 bar+ matches in g3 championship mode, hope it gets better in g2

What the hell? I just got through to the finals of a Championship match and lost. So I go to play another match and when before it loads the ready screen it says connection lost. ‘Whatever’ I think and press OK. Then I get that message saying “since there was a connection error you gotta start from the beginning”; I look at my GP and it’s gone back to what it was before I lost that final! :arazz:

For those experiencing the “low fps” bug, try alt tabbing or hitting alt+enter a couple times, seems to work for me.

The low fps bug is when the game runs in slow mo even though your PC is more then capable of playing the game at highest settings.

Can anyone help me here? Every damn time I try to login it prompts me about updating, and when I do it fills the bar and then it doesn’t do anything else. How exactly can I update it? I can’t even play any matches online because of this, it really sucks. I tried searching forums but all I found was info for Fallout 3, apparently you can get manual patches. I can’t find any for SF4. :frowning:

Bloodmoses, try manually downloading the installer:

Or try running the standalone GFWL client outside of SFIV, maybe it will autoupdate correctly then…

Yeah I tried both but still no luck. I might even be desperate enough to download it via Steam again… gah I really hate GFWL.

Do your user account in Windows have Administrator privileges? If not, are you asked to input Windows password to become Administrator?

How long did you let it update? It takes a damned long time.

I couldn’t get it to update ingame either - I had to download it from windows and have it install with everything else closed.

Hey guys I have a question…

with the recent explosion of people impressively hacking and modding SF IV PC for new skins, move sets and such, has anyone looked into the possibility of hacking the game, getting access to its netcode, and improving it?

What are the chances Ponder, Damdai or someone with similar netcode experience can improve the netcode and make it more like GGPO, and perhaps add stuff like spectating mode, etc?

Please share your thoughts.
