The problems that it has can be fixed. Not the end of the world. I actually like it more in many ways and annoying in other ways.
I find that running through the menus is faster, getting in matches is faster, lag in game is a lot better. I Dont know but its easier for me to punish moves and performs combos. Games feels like it runs better without gfwl.
As for some negatives. No mute and cant chat. That is all i can think of. Those aare not hard to fix.
The waiting for player message is not different than any other time you play with someone and the game lags except this time its telling you its lagging. Not a big deal since the lag is the issue.
shits extra laggy…inputs dropped all day for me today.i had a few desyncs too today…but fuck it…i’m tired of Sf4’s shit anyway…I’ll play other shit and check out Ultra in Aug…
I really hope Capcom integrates some sort of message system. It’s kind of needed for this type of game.
Also I find it sad that some of the “new” bugs are things they fixed once already in previous updates. The lighting issues and music not mutable issues were fixed in the last update to the PC port and I guess got unfixed in this one.
i liked the gfwl setup better. i never had any connection issues, and the friends list and messaging systems were a lot easier and “cleaner” to navigate. i have no friends any more (lol), and i don’t even know if i can salvage that as some gfwl tags are different then steam tags/people changing names/etc.
Only thing I didn’t care for about GFWL was it was slooooow and ate up even more resources than steam at times. Plus I hate the character limit in messages because I’m quite wordy lol. Everything else was fine in regards to multiplayer. Most of the issues are on Capcom not GFWL (bars instead of ping numbers, ect)
it’s not every game for me but I’m getting random “waiting for the other players” pretty often, and/or slowdown. slowdown during setups really ruins your knockdown offense!
on the bright side, I’m having way too much fun with being able to change my name at will. so far I’ve been sponsored by Brazzers, Rule34, and Dick Cheney. this is way better than GFWL.
Not sure what you mean by no0lag-delay issues.
The bottom line is is there is one less program running while you are playing especially when the program that was running was meant to work together with the game. Its no longer there. Good riddance. they need to fix everything else now.
load times(rarely though) were a few (1-2) seconds longer than usual (i get 120+ FPS max settings watercolors on the benchmark with Oni and evil ryu on seths stage)
Lag on 2 of the matches despite us having a “true” green bar (not the ones when you first join a lobby that are automatically green)
I kind of miss being able to talk to my Xbox Live friends through GFWL I don’t really like leaving my 360 (white one) on cause it’s like a damn heater, surprise it has not broken yet. ( A 360 from November 05 launch) Well i guess my friends are worth the extra heat in the room. Kappa’
THIS IS NOT WHAT PC GAMERS PROMISED ME, they promised a net code of gold on steam servers, those motherfucker promised orgasms after EVERY AE STEAM VERSION SIGN IN. O_O
what a fuck fest , the lag online is retarded, at least in GFWL didnt lag that much, it was very playable as long as you dont pop up tha ass UI , the audio is fucked up, how the hell can they release such a bad port ? its like they didnt test the game AT all
When i played mid day yesterday it was so smooth, never have i played SF4 online with such low latency PC or Xbox. I’m trying to play now and I see what everyone is talking about. That dang black box keeps popping up and it hurts so bad.
So what i’m thinking, after a few experiences with Dark Souls 2, (which is on steam now and not GWL) whenever a big Dota2 match started, not during but when it starts, both me and my friends get connection issues (DC’n, lagging). So now i tried to play SF4 during a big match Dota match in China and I’m getting black boxes everywhere.
It could just be a coincidence, or maybe mid-day vs morning. Just some thoughts. If they can fix it, I so prefer this over GWL it runs so much better when it works.
Disconnections… had 4 yesterday… on GFWL I cant remember when I had one.
Mics on! Everyone has a microphone on so I have to constantly mute the morons.
I guess the extra bandwidth with every mic on is causing more lag because it has to send the data to everyone.
Random bugs… I was playing and suddenly disconnected and joined a different lobby.
Region is not working correctly. I can only see Europeans even when set to “ALL”.
Oh does messaging work for anyone else ? I couldn’t see the players.
It seems you guys are angry but look at the bright side of things. Atleast they did it way before the release of ultra. They have a lot of time to fix this stuff. If you realy want you can use GFWL for the next month. But either way even if shitty transition was nescessary because remember GFWL shuts down in july.
Noticed a bit more tearing than before during gameplay. I have the announcer, music, lighting and mic problem everyone else does (just disabled my mic entirely in windows). I only played 1 match and while it was pretty smooth most of the time there was hiccups and a “waiting for player” as well as leaving me completely immobile for a few seconds after the waiting for player message went away (I couldn’t even block, ended up eating two hadokens. Thankfully the guy playing wasn’t terribly good and he seemed as flustered as I was at the 1-2 hiccups)
Had to completely remap my fightstick which previously had no problems even if I just unplugged it and plugged it back in. Only thing I’d have to do is re-enable the HP and HK buttons on the stick itself (it turns em off by default for some reason, it’s a wii tvc stick so I dunno)
I dunno if the matchmaking service is screwed up because thankfully I’m a 'murican and we don’t have to worry about finding matches outside of our region. However I do feel sorry for you guys out in bumfuck… puerto rico? Guess they aren’t american anymore! GG They aren’t considered part of the US region matching. Then again, I doubt alaska is either
