USF4-PC on Steam is SUPERB NOW? *GASP*

[ArtVandelay]

Honestly I can’t complain. Some people still bitching but for me it was perfect today.
I hope it stays that way for me.

Have been playing for SIX hours straight now!
Didn’t have any type of problems! I was playing ranked and making some trials.
Simply great!
The game feels different, but it is still nice and without problems (as this was the case for me already)

[pootnannies]

noticed Endless was a little smoother than usual but Ranked was AWFUL! i think nothing actually changed but we’ll see in a few days. i can only speak for myself here but i don’t see any netcode improvements on my end.

[YorKeY]

No one’s forgetting that, the net code is just shit, even on good connections with low ping like myself. (i usually have the lowest ping in the lobby of most games i play)

No one’s forgetting that? I am sure some are!
If the netcode was completely shit as most say, NO ONE would be able to play!
And it’s not because you may have a super internet with “the lowest ping in the lobby of most games you play”, that the game may work for you.
This game works with those it likes…

Guess what? You’re not special, remember how it was even worst when Ultra first came out on PC? IT STILL WORKED FOR ME, even when it wasn’t working for anyone else, even the beta was fine for me, now after they patch it, all of a sudden the netcode doesn’t “like me?” Yeah right. I can even play UMVC3 online, when most people can’t even play a match online on that game, but i can, so fuck you, games love me.

For some reason, yesterday i noticed something odd:

Ranked: Fine & Dandy, even with BRAZIL (entered a match without noticing the flag).

USFIV Endless: Perfect

Edition Select Endless: Random Lag spikes from time to time.

menus freezs disapeared for me since ages with that 1.03 update i think, you might be the only having this problem

[Aquashark]

not just me, everyone i know has them

out of curiosity, can you post your computer specs and a screenshot of your video game settings?

KoF98 has launched with the same nonstop connection request issue as USF4, so it might be a problem inherent to Steam. The developer has already acknowledged it, so we’ll see if/ when they manage to fix it.

Will be sort of upset but also laugh if it takes them less than a week.

interesting… I am glad to read that…

[ArtVandelay]

Maybe it’s Steam that sucks.
I also wonder why when I freshly installed USFIV, after the beta patch and after the latest patch, I had exactly 1 day where I could play flawlessly, then everything went to normal again.

*NETCODE:

• We have improved the handling of the traffic from Steam’s servers, which should greatly reduce the “spamming” traffic that was flooding your bandwidth and ultimately had been increasing your lag.

• We have shortened the input queue for online play. If you encounter a bad connection, the input delay will be capped. (The game will of course stall if no input is received.)

• We have switched the method for recovering from temporary input lag to one that should work better with systems on the lower end of the hardware spec range.

• Please note that since we’ve changed how the inputs work, beta users cannot be matched against main branch users. You will be able to invite between beta and main branch, but we don’t advise it because it will definitely desync.

• We are working on further improvements (below) but didn’t want to you to wait on these fixes while we do.

Now, if someone from Capcom would do the same for USF4, that would be great.

The biggest disappointment with Steam is the inability to send messages to other players. The social aspect is completely terminated.

And that fucking sucks!

Wow they fixed the KoF netcode already?? Damn is anyone gonna remake that petition? Ill be glad to sign it.

I just realize the smoke visual effect (like smoke comes out on the back character when doing fireball moves) has just disappear after patch 1.04 on PC. I already check and it is not my graphic setting. Can anyone has this same experience? I watch some ryu doing fireball on PS3 after 1.04 patch. The smoke is still there. Did this just happen on PC?

You’re correct. Also, online is unplayable.

[drpepper]

Ha, I’m alive! I’ve been tied up with other matters which kept me off the grid and off the forums for a while (onboarding other Capcom games for Steam). I’d be here more regularly if I can find a way to clone myself or break the fourth dimension.

Regarding ‘netcode’, I’ll need to see what the devs are up to. They’ve been in touch and have been working with Valve engineers. Apparently it’s not an easy problem to solve due to API design differences between GFWL and Steamworks. I’ll let everyone know if I have any new info.

There is still hope!

[pootnannies]

anybody else running into more and more bots?

[makmak]

So I just installed this and the 1.04 patch and it said that it failed to create save data or import from gwfl profile. WTF?

[AKI]

Wow. And I was soooo going to buy this game on steam.

I came here to ask about controller compatibility but after reading some of the post why would I even waste my money on a broken game. I mean holyshit it must be really bad.
