I played some matches last night and I was almost stunned at the fact it felt like offline…I feel like if they fix these issues this will shatter the console version (online wise) and hopefully make people look towards the pc alternative…the fact they fucked up our mods is going to hurt them more than help them…this is just too intentional…I hope they plan on releases 3 more alts for each character >_>
Another thing with the download region dictating who you’re matched with. Comcast made steam add special Comcast download regions. I think I may only be getting matched with other comcast customers. Like, I’m not in Seattle, I’m in Seattle (Comcast). And I can’t just change it back, because then steam refuses to download any updates or let me do anything but launch the games I already have.
Did most of you just do the automatic Steam update, or did u delete everything and redownload the entire game? When I logged into Steam today, it did the automatic update. I played 3 matches, and they were awful. 1st one had ‘waiting for opponent’ a few times mid match, and all had massive input lag.
The mod thing is going to make a lot of people angry.
I agree with Eternal a 100%, the treatment of the PC community has been pretty awful. Regardless of what people think of SFxT, Capcom screwing over everyone who bought it is awful. Other companies have transferred most of their games, even really old ones to steamworks, Capcom is only transferring SF4 cause Ultra is coming out.
For about 20 minutes ago I recieved a patch/update on my steam pannel and since then I have already played about 10 matches and there were NO lags and NO “waiting for player” boxes!
I think it is solved…
I don’t know if it’s fixed, but I have gotten nice matches today. I mostly played a few different people in endless so not many examples, but the connections have been pretty good.
I feel like when it works it’s better than before. I can hit hard links a lot more.
players with 10ms of delay between them are having like 7 to 8 frames of lag ingame. Im not able to play the game online anymore. Not able to play AT ALL. With GFWL’s version I could to play with the 2-3 guys that lived near to me, now I cant play with them aswell.
Game is basically unplayable right now. It’s loud, there’s no way to disable your own microphone, you have to constantly hear everyone else’s unless you remember to mute them every single time, and there is horrendous lag. Combos are nearly impossible. What a joke.
I tried an endless match, both players had 3 bars, and within 5 seconds the game instantly hitched. Hitching every few seconds the entire match. Quit right after that and pretty much given up.
literally at least once a fight the game lags out and I cant move for 5 secs…happens every single. fight.and its probably me nitpicking, but the inputs feel really delayed sometimes…I try to upback and the game is like “lolz…nope”…never had these kinds of problems out of xbl or gfwl
I WOULDNT SO MUCH CALL IT LAG AS STUTTERS.
When I get a good connection its better than GFWL, when I don’t its worse. the thing is that the lag is inconsistent throughout the match, so you cant adapt. on GFWL it was consistent, so you could adapt.
lots of stuttering.
most matches are bad. few are good.
its Def worse than GFWL right now.
Could be my own fault or the latest update, but now the mods that weren’t working before are working now. I just had to manually do some file name edits…and a lot of trial and error
They’ll fix it, just not in the time span we want. Also what isn’t working for you? If it’s the connection then we’re SOL right now. Out of maybe 40 games I’ve played only 5 were stable. When it works, it’s god-like. When it doesn’t it’s complete shit compared to GFWL.
Edit: Yes, I’ve tried to open my DMZ completely. And I even port-forwarded Steam and SF4. I have a 30 down 5 up speed which is suitable for SF4, so I know that isn’t the issue. Plus I can go to any other online game and see my 90 below ping.
