if they did fix it in a short time i’ll laugh too.
Capcommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! shakes fist
Wonder if anyone can help me,
I’ve literally searched all over the internet for a fix and I can’t seem to find one. I’m trying to play USF4 on STEAM (PC) When I launch the game I get an error message saying. ‘Could not find latest windows media player’ - http://puu.sh/dFNWb/bbbef1fdf9.jpg
Basically I’ve gone on the link given in the error message and tried to download Windows Media Features, but when I try to run the file it says its not compatible with my PC.
I’m running windows 7 ultimate 64bit SP1.
The media features file was for windows 7 N/KN modes, now when I launch windows media player and try to update it to a new version it says its fully updated?
Has anyone had this issue/knows how to fix it?
really want to start playing streetfighter again thanks!
Having a bit of an error, was wondering if anyone can help me out:
I bought USF4 for pc when it came out but never played it. Bought steam key from GMG. Recently tried to reinstall. It keeps installing AE 2012 (ver 2014 1.11 or something) and I cannot seem to get it to become USF4.
The game in Steam says USF4. The Icon says USF4. But I don’t have USF4 when I go into the game. No new characters. No combo doubles, etc. Let alone 1.4 patch with Omega. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, different times to multiple directories. I’ve tried verifying integrity the cache. Restarted comp. Restarted steam. Nothing seems to work. A friend says they had the same issue but got it to work somehow and doesn’t remember how they did it.
Any ideas?
You got scammed.
You bought AE instead of Ultra. Both share the same name on Steam.
Now you can either upgrade your AE version or stick with it.
GFWL WAS GODLIKE (horrible market place, but that’s gone too, yes i used them in the same sentence, fuck you.
Being connected with XBL’s players (being able to message and voice chat with them) and achievements (if your are into that thing) was also nice.
Every game (not just SF4) i played on GFWL was totally fine, not sure why everyone complained, they must have got the bad games all in a row or something.
Update from Wbacon: http://steamcommunity.com/app/45760/discussions/0/620700960207424207/
*Hello SSFIV: AE & USFIV players,
We’ve received a lot of feedback from the Steam fighting game community regarding network connectivity and performance since SSFIV: AE’s migration to Steam. Unfortunately, the ‘netcode issue’ is a rather complex matter that cannot be exclusively pinned down to the game code or the Steam client.
As some of you have noted, Valve recently made some tweaks to the network API that should help improve matters. However, it’s not a fundamental fix since Valve cannot make drastic changes to the core P2P network design when there are thousands of other games that depend on it. The development team will continue following up with Steam engineers to identify other solutions that don’t require a complete redesign of USFIV’s matchmaking/lobby system. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.
In the meantime, we recommend Street Fighter players update their Steam client to the latest beta version with the improved P2P netcode. You can opt in to Beta by selecting Settings --> Account --> Beta participation --> Change… --> Steam Beta Update. Another tweak that may also help reduce the stalling effect is to reduce the “Max pings / minute” settings to 1500 or less in the Steam Settings Menu. The option can be found under Settings --> In-Game --> In-Game server browser: Max pings / minute.
Once again, we’ll do our best to keep everyone updated as soon as additional progress is made.
Thank you all for your continued support and patience.

No wonder it seemed fix after 1.04 patch, people were telling me i was falling for the placebo effect, and that i was just repeating what everyone else was saying, no way, i knew it.
I just so happened to opt into the steam beta before 1.04 dropped, and my max server browser ping was always set the lowest anyways. (250) The net code feels good now, not GFWL good, maybe not even XBL good, but just below, that’s good enough i guess. This whole week iv’e been playing clean green bar matches, at the lowest yellow, knew it wasn’t in my head. (for the first time since the USF4 beta, yes, the 1.03 patch actually made it worse for me) Oh, and by the way, in no way, shape, or form, am i saying this is fact, it’s just MY EXPERIENCE, so save your bitching about the net code still being bad for you for someone who cares, merry Christmas!
Most connection issues are user end on Steam. Everyone has their mics blasting, torrents are downloading porn, little sister is streaming HD music videos on Youtube. Its just a horrible environment for fighters. I still play time to time but the community on PC needs to get their shit together. Consoles just have a much better overall environment to produce a better experience.
PSA for all you torrent porn downloaders, dont just pause your torrents when you are playing. You are still connected to all those different IPs which still causes lag. Please completely close and shut down your torrent programs while you are playing USF4. PAUSING YOUR TORRENTS STILL CAUSES LAG!
This is pure speculation. I think most people would know to turn off other things that could affect their connection. I think it’s clear the problems acknowledged by Wbacon above are the main cause.
No its not, I plenty of players that dont know any better.
Obviously that plays a factor, but MOST people do know better, especially given the netcodes reputation.
But yeah, obviously there are dumb asses in the world, the important part is that the majority know better.
Dont most know better when you have players with E rated PC playing the game. Im not saying the netcode is perfect, what I am saying a lot of players dont help the situation.
So, was the PS4 version going to have cross-play with PC? I’d hope they’ll do some major changes to the PC netcode when time comes for cross-play, but on the other hand I keep hearing that online play is horrible on PSN, isn’t it? I wonder if that would be an improvement at all.
The PS4 version of USFIV will not have cross-play with either PC or PS3.
I hope the netcode for the PS4 port doesn’t suck and I hope the game doesn’t drop any frames.
I totally agree with you, but source? Kappa
You know, actually adding support for cross-platform play between PS4 and PC players (for Ultra) would make for a nice test-run for what Capcom have in mind for SF5.
I’d strongly recommend Capcom push ahead with this as it might allow them to catch a lot of potential problems in their approach that would be far nicer to iron out now than it would be after SF5 drops.
Also, re: wbacon:
“The development team will continue following up with Steam engineers to identify other solutions that don’t require a complete redesign of USFIV’s matchmaking/lobby system. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.”
I remain convinced that his gaggle of ‘developers’ attached to USFIV are absolutely unqualified to redesign USFIV’s network implementation, so that’s just a throw away response. Their ‘fix’ insofar is them basically telling users to try some of the tweaks other posters have recommended combined with a sheepish finger-point in Valve’s general direction. Rich.
I sincerely hope these navel gazers aren’t attached to the SF5 project.
they say matchmaking improves if you update the steam app. go to steam settings and click update steam to beta. I did but I don’t have the game installed. just a heads up. let us know if connections in Ultra improves after you update the steam app to the beta.
I saw this on eventhubs along with making your pings 1500 or less.
I did some endless lobby matches last night and only had one match with a Juri player that felt 90% lag free
other matches were just lag fests with one Ryu player that I swear wasn’t experiencing lag, but I couldn’t even move.
I did my best to find 4 bar matches, which we all know you can’t really go by.
I do want to say I’m NO PC expert on making these settings and things work.
So if anyone has some legit information that I can use to possibly better my experience please share it with me.
My computer is an absolute beast and I have a 50meg connection so tell me what I can do.
It’s annoying because other games like BF4 on PC runs flawless along with others. If I can line out my favorite game to make it tolerable I’d be peachy. Maximillian seems to be having good online matches, what is he doing differently?
35 download 5 upload
Steam beta participant and max server ping set to 250
Mostly green bar connections now, with a few playable yellow bars, with the rare red bar players every now and then. Everything works fine offline too.
Can’t wait to see what everyone says about BBCSE’s PC netcode.
