What do you mean? I removed the SUPERSTREETFIGHTERIV folder from the CAPCOM folder, started the game up and redid my video settings (save data was still there though), and actually got some good games. But I have no way of knowing if removing the folder actually had any effect.
I deleted my transferred data and gave it ago. I just played over 30 matches with 1 guy and maybe 3 matches had random lag spikes. Overall it felt damn good.
Then as soon as a yellow bar entered all hell broke loose. -_-
her’s how to erase GFWL data :
- go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\177254111\
and either erase the folder 45760 ( its SF4 steam ID ) or cut copy it somewhere if you want to keep the GFWL data, the two other folders seems to be steam client settings , dont lunch SF4 GFWL version if you have it at this point, as it will re download your profile and steam will ask you again
- go to C:\Users*********\Documents\CAPCOM\SUPERSTREETFIGHTERIV erase this folder , this is the games settings , replays and and achievements/titles save data ect … this will reset video settings and controller setting
now if you used cloud sync and uploaded your GFWL data to the cloud , you have to prevent steam from re downloading them, go to steam client , on top left menu click on " steam " then " settings " then " cloud settings " disable cloud Sync, go to your library right click on SF4 > proprieties > update > disable cloud sync
before your re lunch SF4 go back to steam userdata folder and check if the SF4 data folder has been re downloaded, if so erase it again , then lunch the game, you’ll have to restart from scratch , after erasing my GFWL data the game has been lagging way less, and to be sure i tried playing at least again 6-10 different players from various region
hope this will work you
also something that i noticed about the lag, is that its heavily inflated by the huge new players number that bought the game recently with the discount, they most likely dont give a fuck about the lag and use their internet while playing , when i play against mid level players ( 2k ~ 3k pp ) who actually care about lag, its really better and the game dosnt lag that much
of course you’ll cross lag switchers and peoples with simply bad internet even at that rating, but its really less frequent
The name of the folder in userdata varies. What are the files in the “remote” folder for AE called?
I do agree with you on this.
Ähm… Could someone please explain to me what Antialiasing and Filtering bring to the game and if I should have them on/off???
I am asking cause yesterday a guy opened this thread on Steam steamcommunity.com/app/45760/discussions/0/522729358724468315/ asking people about their benchmark results, and I noticed that they have some values on their “Display Settings” after the 1920x1080.
as I had no Idea what that was I tried and found out it had to do with Filtering.
Thanks in advance.
Found the patch data.
New Patch Available! (Jun. 6th)
Community Announcements - wbacon [capcom]
Patch Release Note:
Geo fencing no longer enforced in matchmaking query. Setting to [ANY] will query matches without any restriction. Setting to [SAME] will limit search to the same country based on the player’s geo-location. (better ping)
Added voice chat mute option within the in-game menu.
Setting the BGM to 0 will now mute the music completely.
11th and 12th costume colors from vanilla SFIV is now unlocked for everyone.
Removed recurring prompt and need to install the redistributable.
Removed GFWL client install prompt.
Country flag placeholder will now display the neutral grey SSFIVAE logo instead of the Ultra SFIV logo.
just delete the folder that has capcom/sf files, even if you erased the whole userdata folder it wouldnt matter unless you have other games save data
Whatever I did, now I can’t play online. It says “You have been disconnected from Steam. You will be returned to the main menu.”
And I’m clearly still on Stream and the internet ._.
WELP back to the old settings lol
lol thats what i got the first time i transfered my GFWL data, i get kicked back to main menu everytime i try to go online multiplayer
Filtering refers I believe to Anisotropic filtering which AFAIK only would affect the quality of some of textures on stage backgrounds that are distant or at odd angles to the camera.
Anti aliasing basically smooths out jagged edges on objects.
Filtering isn’t too bad of a system hog but it does eat resources like everything else. However I’d HIGHLY recommend not using anti aliasing unless you really are sure about the strength of your computer. Anti aliasing is very taxing and can majorly slowdown your game’s frame rate.
Thank you, Eternal! 
I don’t use Anti Aliasing* and don’t have the intention to turn it on now. I think my settings for the games are good enough as they are!
(Now I also now that “AA” is not only "Anti Air LOL)
Once again, thank you for taking your time to clarify my doubts!
The update fixed some of the performance issues for me, but now the movies have scrambled video, and playing multiplayer sometimes causes my computer to lock up hard.
This is some seriously botched programming. I have been running windows 8 since it came out and this game is the first thing to ever make it freeze up like that.
even watch dogs in ultra setting run smoother than this port
This game is like a scorned bitch I can’t stop talking to.
the game is unplayable please fix this shit capcom and steam!
i dont know how the audio wasnt top priority. it is literally unbearable to listen to and impossible to play.
I’ve never used Steam until this transfer and it’s been complete ass so far. GFWL was so much better it’s not even funny. So far lag is way worse and players on Steam are also way worse. Finding games is also harder for some reason. Losing all the people on my GFWL friends list also sux ass. Basically, everything is much worse on Steam so far and I’d go back to GFWL in a heartbeat.
Yeah this port is pretty terrible sadly. Hate the fact that you can’t change your “Geo location” like you could in GFWL. Also the lag when joining/searching for matches is just terrible.
