[Xrd] News & Gameplay Discussion 2 - Console is Out!

[Soviet Bear]

Gonna have to go through some hoops for those PS+ colors...

[-Kef-]

It's really weird that Leo is up in the HK store but the colors are not. It's been a while since it updated too.

[Kazuki Slice]

Patch is out for PS3 now

[Mumm-Ra]

What patch? I downloaded a 1.02 patch, is it a netcode thing?

yeah it has a few fixes. Netcode improvements, Eng/Jp voice glitch, and other various fixes. Although Netplay seems much worse for me now that the patch is out.

You're not wrong, went from 2-4 delay with people in the same city to 5-7 minimum.

[Leonard-Helsing]

If I can't manage to get a PS4 soon enough, will the Christmas and PS+ colors still be available for a price then or am I shit outta luck?

[huber]

Yeah I was getting 2-4 delay with local people now I'm lucky if I get 5 with them

[Uncivilized Elk]

Are you guys sure that "getting 5 now vs 2 then" isn't just an issue of the game should have been displaying 5f BEFORE?

You can get them without owning the game. Just go to psn and put them in your cart.

8frame delay ... in my own city ... it used to be 2f...

wtf.. this is a BIG issue..

Oh no no 12 frame delay ?! I'm so done with this game.. WTF

Damn... so sad right now ...

I dont think ill be online till they fix this crap

I'm a bit with this notion as well honestly. Both the frame delay and connection displays seemed spotty as hell before the patch anyways. Also did this patch address the issues with different voice languages between users? I'm wondering that might be a factor since I have stuck to JP and newer players might be on English.

[GodPress]

It's a possibility but I'd be surprised that the game sets delay 5 on 30ms of latency. 

[White Man]

Color 14 is the PlayStation Plus color. It's available for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers, also for a limited duration. Japan: 1/8 until 2/3. USA: 1/13 until 2/10.

 

By "free for PS+ subscribers", does this mean the color will be available for purchase to non-subscribers, or will you only be allowed to access this color if you have a PS+ subscription during the time frames listed?

Nah it really does feel worse as well.  They've acknowledged the problem on their jp twitter.

Not that I don't believe you, but I looked on what I presume is their JPN Twitter and couldn't find it.

[Uncivilized Elk]

So I assume those of us who haven't done the free PS+ trial can just abuse it for these free colors when that promotion comes around?

[kroko^unleashed]

Of course. if you're speaking of the playstation colors. The christmas ones are free for anyone.

Yeah, tested the new patch out against someone in the same city, went from being 2-5, to 3-6. Later I tried against some randoms in the UK Lobby, overall felt worse/same. Honestly don't think they did anything to the netcode, other than making it display the delay frames a bit more accurately, like someone previously mentioned. Hopefully they decide to do some more tweeking in the future.

note that there is something extra there: at number 2 in blue 【12/19更新】

I can't read Japanese and google translate isn't too clear, but I think it means they are looking into a patch because of the high delay display.

Hmmm, didn't see that before, so it must be new. Can't seem to make out what it's trying to say with Google translate either. But it seems like they've at least acknowledged that there needs to be more improvements, so hopefully it'll come soon. They've done a great job everywhere else so far, seems odd that they flopped on one of the major parts of the game. 

[Antitidus]

Honestly I feel that the displaying frame delay is very inaccurate. I fight people at 5-8 frames and it feels like I'm fighting at 2-3. I think people are being to reliant on the screen display. 

[stickystaines]

I don't think its inaccurate at all. Just after the patch its gotten way more inconsistent and more delay. Feels that way to me. Someone who ive played with since vanilla sf4 now feels much worse

[MasterXDrake]

It seems that the patch screwed up the netcode even more. Sigh...
