The update did not clarify what kind of netcode fixes we can expect, but PC players will soon get a free, week-long chance to find out for themselves.
Other announced updates include shorter loads between matches, shorter waits for matchmaking, and more granular stats. Now, they'll be shuffled into an online-matchmaking wasteland with their ragequitting peers (the way it should be). All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. Previously, ragequitting players were simply being flagged with an icon as a punishment. One major change is that matchmaking will finally account for a player's tendency to ragequit (as in, force their game to quit before accepting a legitimate loss). The beta will simultaneously test the latest balance tweaks set to reach the official game. Either way, it's free for all Windows Steam gamers until the beta closes on Monday, April 3, and all current characters from both SFV seasons will be unlocked for free as well. If you already own the game, the beta will carry over your current online stats if you don't, you'll start fresh. To prove the upgrades out, Capcom will unlock the game's online modes for everyone in the world as a separate, free download via Steam starting Tuesday, March 28. That comment was followed by an announcement of the "Capcom Fighters Network" (basically, the game's underlying matchmaking and connectivity system) receiving a full overhaul-and a week-long freebie to put money where Capcom's mouth is. "We understand that Street Fighter V’s server performance has been a less than optimal experience for many of our players," a Capcom staffer frankly admitted at the company's official blog on Thursday. As debuts go, Street Fighter V had a bit of a stinker yesterday as the beta version of the title was taken offline almost instantly after landing. Access to the beta is granted by pre-ordering the game physically or digitally.Further Reading Street Fighter V review: Definitely good, definitely unfinished Customization via the battle setting and options menu will also be available for you to tinker around with your character profile and button configurations, as well as managing display settings.Īs for the exact details on the time frame and available platforms for the beta, it will officially begin on 12/18 at 12:01 AM PT (8:01 AM GMT) and conclude on 12/20 at 10 PM PT (12/21 at 6 AM GMT) for both PlayStation 4 and PC.
They are making more of an emphasis on multiplayer with friends, as each beta participant will receive a handful of invite codes to hand out to others. Those who participate in the beta this time around will be able to take part in both ranked and casual matches, as well as the training and Capcom Fighters Network modes. Street Fighter fans have already gotten two solid tastes of Street Fighter V in beta form so far, but now yet another beta for Capcom’s upcoming fighter will begin next week, the company revealed.
