Broken Netcode?

My experience has been great so far. I do run into the ocassional match where the rollback style netcode starts showing it's negative aspects like skipping frames or just rolling back but thats expected, especially with this style of netcode that doesnt compensate for lag with input delay, the lag literally drops/skips frames and acts all weird and glitchy. Usually when this happens I'm paired up with someone outside the US (I've heard them talk spanish and something else through kinect at times) or rednecks with internet from the 90's. Probably AOL :joker:. I seriously think this game has the best netcode I've ever tried but thats just my opinion. When I'm paired up with someone with a good connection to me it plays like offline, no lie. About the bugs, you gotta remember this game is a work in progress. I love the game but I would be lying if I said it's perfect. It's obviously in a beta stage aesthetically. I think the mechanics and engine however are really professional and polished. with a few more tweaks will be damn near pefect. The DH team is tiny and the game was obviously rushed out. But so far they've been fixing bugs and adding content and patches little by little.

When I think of this game it reminds me of a sleeper (car). It's whats under the hood that matters the most. I think people need to give the game a chance, it's legit.
 
When KI lag is bad - it's really bad. The game just doesn't slow down but the teleporting is insane and I have see stuff like characters going from mid-air to mid combo.

The most annoying thing to me is that neither DH or MS have acknowledged it. I personally think it may not be the game but XBL live since all the new machines came online at Xmas. Last week I was trying to troubleshoot it and tore my network config apart as I was getting really inconsistent results from the "Detailed Network Statistics" (14Mbps one test, 1.4 the next). I ended up reverting it to what it was and the next few days were fine.

The ranking system, match counting, unlockable and UI bugs are so novice I think it is laughable.

On the other hand, when it is good - it is awesome.

I enjoy his vids

Doesn't mean I think he's right... but they're always short, well done and makes his point.

I wouldn't get all bent out of shape though. We know at least 2 more patches are coming for things, so no reason to be up in arms.

I'll post the same thing I posted when he made this dumb thread on SRK

Jesus man it's nothing but doom and gloom with these threads your making.

I can speak for myself here, I play on a regular comcast xfinity internet connection.

Friday I ran random select ranked all night from about 5PM to 630 AM.
Out of all the matches I ran about 5 or 6 dropped due to lag
About 10 additional matches were choppy at one point or another.

Every other match ran smooth, many of which were outside the US

KI netcode is still good.

People are looking for things to complain about.

Between this and your Sabrewulf nerf threads I don't know which is worse.

You guys are retarded! You dont even get acidglows point and shit talk him.

I agree with what he says that the netcode has gotten worse since the last patch. How is this a dumb thread?

Because the title of the video and thread are "BROKEN Netcode" which implies and promotes the idea that it's unplayable and unusable, which is an exageration. If the point of this thread was to explain the dip in netcode quality then word, that's fair. But don't post headline it with an exaggeration. That's what irritates people.

The netcode isn't broken.

You obviously dont get it do you? the netcode has been messing up after the patch big time.

lots of desync, lag, disconnects etc etc
it has gotten to a point where you cant even tell if your opponent rage quit or not. I cant play long sets with friends on my list bc it disconnects every 3 matches.
Acidglow loves the game as much as we do or even more, he just wants the problems to be fixed so we can have a better game, I dont see the need to attack him and act like everything he says its dumb bc is not.
about the Sabrewulf hitbox he actually had a good point, the hitbox just doesnt make any sense in a 2d fighting game.
 
I don't see you helping the KI community with news, guides, breakdowns, previews. Oh Snap!


Tough shit, eat a d*ck =) Let's see you do better.
Have some style and grace. You are obviously creating your videos with the intention of getting #MAXCPM, which is fine. You're allowed to do that. But please do not flame our members when they aren't even insulting you to begin with.

also over the line. Debate and arguing is fine, but don't word it that way. Grow up or get out.

My online warrior dream is that one day players will have the option of filtering out wireless connection players. And yeah, netcode is so good it's actually worth playing. I wish injustice would release on this system. I would finally optimize stuff

Did they fix that weird desync issue? The one that got a lot of controversy with DSP and some other dude.

Maybe that's the reason, since it's not doing that anymore, the bad connections aren't hidden anymore.

I'm straight talking out of my ass though, I have no idea how common that issue was, or how laggy the game is now, as I have never played it.

Hopefully they can fix the problem for the people that are experiencing it.

Honestly, some matches are a little laggier, but like...a little laggier is still smooth as butter compared to current XBL and PSN netcode.

I had issues day 1 of the patch with a lot of lag, but I haven't run into severe situations with it since.
