Street Fighter V PC/PS4 CFN Beta Now LIVE!: All Characters, Cross Play (Online Only)

Wow, the beta has been great. I find matches in a minute or two now and the match has been smooth.

I stopped playing sf v before since I usually have to wait like 5-10 minutes for a match and even then it's not a smooth experience. I just assume that's because I play from Indonesia and there's not many player here. But I got smooth connection with player from Japan now.

No idea if this is due to more player because free beta or improvement in matchmaking
 
Shadows definitely look much better. Here are a couple of comparison shots I captured earlier tonight

Matchmaking started out a bit slow. First hour of the beta I only found 3 matches but after that I was getting matched up around 10 or so minutes.
 
Match quality is much worse for me, way choppier than the live version, even if i find them more often. And thats with 4-5 connection search settings.

Tried out Ed. Hate is control style since you can't buffer specials, makes playing him so awkward. Crappy normals too, ugh.
 
Still having problems with the Beta Neither the DS4 and Keyboard can activate battle settings. I can press X or Enter to give me the battle settings but once I'm done setting it up as soon as I press Applying a settings it doesn't apply anything and I can't even get out the game unless I Alt+F4
 
Man if only the launch version launched the game with these features. But then again it still doesn't have arcade mode so poor sales would still be a possibility. But I am liking there new changes.
 
The game keep crashing after ~10 seconds of the start of the first round in around 1/3 of the fights. I have the same issue with the previous beta.

I want to buy the game when the Arcade update, but I'm afraid that the crashes still happens to me with the full game. Anyone has the same issue with the beta, but have the full game and runs fine?
 
New netcode seems better and generally good but when i get bad matches now they seem worse.

Bad match now is players teleporting rapidly all over the screen for most of the match.

But its not happening very frequently so its an overall improvement.

I've heard of erratic stories with the servers but nothing this bad. Is there anything wrong with your connection? Or do you play on Wi-Fi? Perhaps try and play battle lounges with someone you know to see if there aren't any issues on your end.

I believe the netcode isn't new we only have new servers (CFN).

The games that I played run fairly well, with only one of two lag peaks in one fight, and the fights that crashed were running fine until that (one of them during a ranked match and the other in a lounge).

The issue that I have is that the game go to the desktop abrutly during at the beginning of the first round of several and nonconsecutive fights, the game doesn't returns to the main menu or anything like that. So I don't think it's something related with that, but I'll try to convince a friend to download the beta and test it with the lounge. Thanks.

This happens if you have an art tablet on your PC when playing game, it can happen when not attached if the driver is running. It may be something different too check the steam forums of the game there are solutions for this.

I'd imagine more people are still playing the retail version than the beta version, so it should hopefully be even faster when the retail version updates to this version.
 
Lounges are just as shit as always, game's still trying to connect me to people halfway around the world.

Same. I've had maybe a handful of matches with people from North America. The rest have been halfway around the world and the connection always takes a dive second game.

It has to be the same shithouse servers at play, they seem to prioritize connections from Asia. I don't believe they've actually changed servers provider to be honest.
 
I guess my optimism was foolish, but I was really hoping for some netcode improvements. What's in the game currently is simply too poor to justify putting any real effort into mastering the game. In this beta I'm still seeing teleporters all over the place. I'm seeing this kind of crap in maybe a quarter of my matches. (And no, it's not on my end. Other rollback fighters are great!)

That's a shame as Kolin is actually a lot of fun to play, maybe a new main for me after Capcom ruined Alex. But with this lousy netcode there's no point in bothering.

Are you searching for 4-5 bar matches?
