"Online Rematch Option - Salty from a close loss online? Want revenge? Players can now play a 2/3 set in Ranked Match, provided both players accept the rematch."

In what universe do Capcom think the SFV Online community, a collection of hollow shells that look like human beings who will reset their console if they lose precious League Points, will accept a rematch after winning the first one?

I actually think this feature will be used lots, especially as the game ages and the casual playerbase leaves.

I thought that's probably for their server backend but nope, real time p2p multiplayer. So much for "we're not licensing GGPO because we're writing our own netcode!"

P2p just means how clients connect to each other, not how they communicate once connected.

It's just a back end to connect clients together through socket management and connection pools after first connecting to a server. The net code is completely separate and not handled by the service.

They didn't out source it. They licenced an existing technology to handle the server technology. Loads of companies do this.

This isn't the software that handles game inputs and rollback.

Capcom are responsible for that code themselves, so are directly to blame or praise depending on you feelings.

Well just got the game at last and Christ you guys weren't lying about wait times for playing ranked. It's pretty poor. I don't believe it's got anything to do with playerbase either. Sf4 had lots of time with less than 2000 players on pc at certain points during its life and finding a game was still easy.

It is literally not functional. All of my matches have one-sided rollback, the majority of them on my side. As a PC user it is basically guaranteed you are hosed playing vs somebody on PS4. Even when it is playable, the amount of rollback is far greater than it would be on correctly implemented rollback (any game with GGPO) and happens on one side.

PS4 vs PS4 seems mostly fine. If you're on PS4 and playing somebody on PC and its fine for you, it's a guarantee that they are seeing all of the rollbacks.

I'm on PC and the majority of my matches are great. Some are complete trash and that's annoying but I've got far more issue with the PS4 players slow rear end HDDs than anything else.

I'm not saying your experience isn't true but statements like 'guaranteed' isn't from my experience.

This issue wouldn't be so bad if you could just pick your ranked games like you could in SFIV. It was easy to remember the players with the dodgy Internet and you could just avoid them.

I have an odd issue with SF5 where it will play normally at 60 fps when I first boot it up but then after a while, the performance will degrade and then the game will start playing in a bit of slow mode. Is there a way to fix this? My PC specs are i5 4570, gtx 970, 16gb ram, and win7 64bit.

The slowmo is due to the game being fixed-framed. It wont skip frames, if you are rendering below 60 frames it will wait until it renderes all those frames its behind, causing the slow-mo effect.
There is a known memory leaked caused when changing graphical settings, other than that, try reinstalling?

You can use steams inbuilt fps counter to keep track of stuff.

Yeah, it's super dumb. It's Capcom, so it's par for the course for them in terms of mismanagement, but still. People are still buying into the narrative that it was done so that it coincides with the Pro Tour, when there were so many ways to work around that. The first premiere event could have easily been CEO or Combo Breaker or something. Considering we have a big gap now where it's all ranking events till May, they could have easily delayed it till then if that was a real reason. Top and actual FG players wouldn't have really given a poo poo since most would just be practicing the cracked beta or playing other FG's until release. Casuals would have gotten a more polished game that probably included arcade mode and a real tutorial.

It was probably Japanese executives hearing about the success of early access and misconstruing it to mean you can just release a product early and add stuff later and people don't mind.

UK Gamers are all loving stupid stupid cunts. Like, just loving trash. We don't actually have any taste at all when it comes to computer games. I don't think we're really a nation of gamers. Expect Knack and like, "Lego oval office Omnibus, the PS2 Budget edition" to be top of the charts forever. It's always been the way. When a blockbuster comes out, it will be number one in the charts for a bit, but, the Sims is always there at number 5, ready to climb back to number 1 when the buzz around the new CoD game has died down a bit. And there's always a Fifa or Evo or the like snaking around the charts too.

If you have a bunch of your mates over, and you mention street fighter, they'll all be like, "I always liked chum lean, but could never do her Hardouken". I mean, yeah probably a bunch of UK goons are gonna come out of the woodwork and be like "Mate you just need better friends" but look me right in the dick-eye and tell me you don't have a friend who thinks he's really good and wins an annoying amount by mashing the same move (where he presses the buttons way more than he has to) and one friend who just CANNOT loving grasp how to do any special moves. You do. And that's basically how it goes for all gaming. UK Gamers don't really want the BIGGEST AND BEST because they're sort of scared of it and "I liked dungeon keeper and hospital tycoon!" but never knew you could possess the monsters in dungeon keeper in first person because that's a bit too involved.

Its kind of the same with movies. It seems to me (maybe this is way off) but in the States if a new film comes out, and you get the average punter off the street and ask them what they think of it, like, say its Batman vs Superman, they'd say something like "Oh man, Batman vs Superman? What a bust up! My money's on Superman! I don't know if Affleck can play Batman, and, who's the guy that plays Superman? That should be good!" honestly, the average person in the UK, no, like over 50% of the people you ask, are going to say "Oh, I don't know about that" and walk away.

Its such a loving annoying attitude. 'I dont know that in depth so I wont have a go'.

I think what sums up what I'm getting at is that I imagine something like 90% of all video games and DVDs / Blurays in the UK are probably bought in supermarkets from a selection of less than 20. (Because they only sell the top 20, but sometimes games that aren't a new Sims / Fifa / Lego budget oval office omnibus / budget random bullshit pile-em-high-sell-em-cheap kids game / CoD somehow make their way into the charts and the guy at Tesco can't cope with working out how many of that might sell so they just dont stock it). Despite these ill informed supermarket sales, about 99% of the computer games market is actually just chavs stealing games and selling them to Computer Exchange (second hand gaming store).

Growing up liking computer games in the UK has been so depressing.

Yeah, I mean there's HoG. But, you know thats a MASSIVE aberration. Like, its to the point where if you see an Arcade anywhere that isn't gambling of some kind, or a pinball machine, its because the place you're in is American themed, and you can bet your rear end its broken and no one knows how to fix it or has the keys for it.

Nah that's the thing, if someone was playing games back then, they're actually into computers and will either be a programmer who doesn't know about games but doesn't pretend to, or someone who went on to play things like rise of the triads, teenagent, quake rally, and who knows about stuff like streets of rage 3 having an old man called Zan in it despite never playing it. Those people probably DID play the Japanese stuff. You probably only hear from those people from the uk though because they're the only ones computer literate enough to have joined the internet before everything was 'an app'.

It's the people who are like 'AW YEAH I remember the PlayStation, old school!' That make up the vast vast majority. Basically, 99 out of 100 gamers in the UK will say their favorite game is 'EVO innit' or 'I only really play championship manager', but then when you remind them of golden eye they'll be like 'Aw mate! Old school!' And suddenly feel a really strong kinship towards you and offer you a spliff, despite golden eye being a rancid turd.

It's crazy how bargain bin Capcom is becoming. First Konami, now this.

Capcom have made a lot of huge IP gently caress ups over the last few years. Almost every new IP they have tried has failed and they have managed to kill off many well known and popular IPs.

At this point Capcom have 3 main titles, Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter and while they pull in a decent chunk of cash they aren't enough to support a company of Capcoms size. While Konami was a demise through not caring, Capcoms was over ambition which has now turned to trying to limp through with spending as little as possible.

i'm not saying sf2 only sold because it was a great game but to say you can't compare them is foolish

Hmm SF2 hit into some vein back then though, it was like Call of Duty big, it just blew up out of no where. Street Fighter 4 also came at a perfect time, there hadn't been a major decent fighting game in years.
SFV came off the back of the several editions of 4, and no one was really asking for it except ther hardcore. I think even if Capcom had put out a complete good product at launch and had 10/10 across the board they wouldn't have hit their sale estimates.

I used to think this about steam until I noticed you could message people in CS:GO, its not some in game system either, just straight up opens a chat window to them. So why most other games don't do it I don't know.

Agreed Counter Strike is a unique beast with a very large appeal due to its history. A lot of people who play and watch CSGO are the same people who were playing 1.6 in College. CSGO is also focused towards competitiveness, while I'm sure Overwatch will have a scene it doesn’t seem that is Blizzards main focus.

I've gotten so many 3-4 bars when I specifically said to have 5 bars only. What the gently caress.

This is caused by people who have bad connections rather than just being far away from you. So when the server pings them they return a low number, say 50. The server slaps a 5 bar rating on them and passes their connection to you, what the server doesn't know is they are running wireless/downloadingPorn or whatever and their ping is fluctuating between 50-200 constantly, it just happened to be 50 when they tested it.

You can check this yourself, open up windows cmd prompt and just run ping google.co.uk (or whatever your local domain is) and see your numbers. If you get a very small fluctuation you're golden, if its a large one then it might in fact be you causing the problems.

So I got a new 1440p monitor and now SFV runs at half speed? Even when I set the resolution to 1080p like it was before?

You're not hitting 60FPS. The game is locked to 60fps, so it will enter slowmo mode if it dips. Steam has a built in FPS counter, use that and mess with settings. I suggest the waterfall stage as that's the most taxing on hardware. Make use of the inbuilt resolution scaler, it allows you to keep 1440p resolution but have the models ingame rendered at lower resolution and scaled up, it works really well and allows you to keep crisp menus and text.

What. The. gently caress.
So you know about that system that gives you a strike every time you RQ and times you out for 2 hours if you RQ 4 times?
Apparently when one player ragequits BOTH players get a strike. Which means that if you get ragequit on 4 time, you'll get a sweet time out as well.

This doesn't surprise me, It's actually a problem that's difficult to solve. As the game is p2p it can be tricky to tell who actually disconnected. It's solved in a lot of other games via checking against the rest of the clients but in fighting games there are only 2.

For people exiting to the playstation dashboard you could do a server check to see if the game is still running, possible identifying who quit out but on PC where it's easy to simply cut the connection very briefly it would be a really challenging to identify who actually committed the offence.
