Netcode Lag/Delay Test Reports

[monster637]

Well i had my copy for ps3 for a few days and my xbox version came in the mail today....like most multiplayer games it plays much better on xboxlive, even tho it still sucks... still mostly all lobbies are 1 bar 2 bar rooms with people sitting demanding 4 bar conections that will never probably come

[Rex Dart]

Today the game matched me against someone from Korea. I'm in Seattle.

What the hell.

At least I got to see Flame Iori in person. And I got to appreciate his qcf+P animation, as he spammed it over and over in slow motion.

FUCK THAT NETCODE.

Is all what I have to say.

My connection: ADSL 8-9 Mb. Wired

With spanish people (my country) I only have 2 bars. With France (very close to me) 2 bars. With UK people 1 bar. Is this a good netcode? NO.

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY AT LEAST WITH 3 BARS WITH EUROPEAN PEOPLE.

the game hasn't been released in Japan yet. I think we should wait. But then, SNKP needs to release a patch to fix this not good at all netcode.

I don't doubt 3 bars works fine. But I will not tolerate a game where I only have 2 bars with people of my region, when in other games liks SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV I can play without lag.

Is my last try with SNKPlaymore and KOF. If the online is not fixed, I just will leave KOF.
It has been too much time, too much energies, too much hype, too much hope. I'm tired, really tired. And I start thinking I should really transfer into another fighting game.

The problem is the Japanese who find the netcode substandard will just play in arcades instead of complaining, so SNK probably won't hear too many complaints, and SNK probably would prefer it if people played in arcades intead.

I'm not expecting anything, and barring myself being proved wrong, as a 15-yr fan of SNK, I'll say enough's enough when I hit my last major in March, and without SNK, I'll likely see no reason to even continue with the competitive community.
I'll move on to other things.

You still have color edit mode  .Glad to see people wake up and put some pressure where the real issues are.Personally i doubt playmore will fix this but... a tiny bit of hope still exists.
Last game i will ever buy from playmore.They promised a better online than ssf4.... so i don't think we ask too much from them.

Why do you blame the game for your ping times?

To be honest he kinda has a shitty internet connexion.I had 1 bar with him in ssf4 .. .but it was more than playable with him.

I managed to borrow a copy of the game for a few hours and the netplay is shit.(my copy is stuck at the post office and i couldn't get it today and tomorrow is national fucking holiday).Friday i will post some vids with the online.

My connexion looks like this and i barely had 1 game in 10 which was decent.


Stop defending this netcode.I have a good connexion and i know shit netcode when i see one.

[Mr Bakaboy]

Okay, I have to ask, are people becoming braindead?

I ask for 3 bars or higher (mostly because I'll never get 4 bars...yeah, I is sad), and yet constant 2 bars and 1 bars show up.  I kick them, and the same people KEEP COMING BACK IN.

You'd think the first time would be enough!

I'd bet on they are in the automatic match finding system. It throws you in whatever game they want and the idiots are probably either not paying attention to who you are or just think "Noone else is here just play me.". Don't think it's right but I notice a lot of it in this game.

[Shiranui_ninja]

Why do you blame the game for your ping times?

Because I can play other fighting games with my ping times without lag if I play against people of my region (europe). For example SSFIV. In KOF XIII I can't. If I have to have optic fibre 50Mb to play this KOF, then for me the game failed.

Simple as that, and your damage control is nonsense. You should wish the best for your favourite game, not trying to defend everything just because you like it or you have a huge connection.

This is not true. i have change my internet company since the last time we played and now it's better. i have 12 Mb ADSL wired in my PS3. I think this is not a shitty connection. Maybe is not the best, but as I said I can play other games against UK and french people, and of course, spanish people. In KOF XIII I can't.

This is totally disappointing to me. you can consider me someone with a shitty online if you want, or even a troll if you want. But the truth is that, if KOF XIII online is not fixed I just will leave this game. I will start playing other fighting games like Soul Calibur 5 or Dead or live 5 or Skullgirls, which I have no doubt I will be able to play them without lag, and KOF will fall into oblivion for me.

Nah i ain't trollin but with a wired connexion like that you should be able to play europe fine.I thought you had the same internets like last time.This is the reason i was bitching for almost half a year before the release but everybody was into that color edit mode bullshit.Maybe you can help me on friday to make some video testing with that online.Take care.

ps: hope you still have ssf4 or better yet umvc 3 for comparison

[MUSOLINI]

kbn, hit me up when your copy arrives.

[KBlackNoah]

kbn, hit me up when your copy arrives.

friday i will send you a message via PSN.It would be cool to make an online test with you too.
If anyone located in europe would like to participate in this add me on PSN KausemoreDammage - friday night we do some testing.Don't forget to put them porn downloads on hold.
All willing to participate send me via PM your internet speed until friday if possible.

Yes, I still have SSFIV (but I forgot it how to play it lol). No UMvC3.
Let's test it on friday. Anyway, for what you say I think you have a very good connection, better than mine, so probably you will have less problems than me to find no-lag matches.

I ll do basic button imput lag demonstration like we did with XII (no gaming skill required  ).Stick in front of the monitor and camera - if you have a headset it would help a lot

[Shiranui_ninja]

if you have a headset it would help a lot

you mean microphone and all this stuff? No i don't. I don't play war games :P
