Questions: (How to set up multiplayer LAN) (Do I have the latest version??)

[MALD]

Hi,

I was wondering if when the game comes out in a month, would it automatically update to the latest version?

Also, how do I check if I have the latest version, because I can see that some maps and animations are still unfinished, so I find it hard to believe that it will be out within a month, unless they patch all of it out first...?

In any case, how can I set up the LAN multiplayer in order to be able to play with a friend?

thanks!

Hey there, in order to suport LAN multiplayer just make sure that you are both on the same network, then open up cmd and type ipconfig look for a section that says IPv4 Address: The number across from that text is your local IP address. You will give that to your other player to enter in for the ip

You may need to turn off the firewall or set your game to be allowed through the firewall:
To allow the game through your Firewall, if your Computer is protected by a Firewall. This can usually be done from the settings pane of your Firewall program, or by clicking allow on the prompt that appears when a Firewall blocks a connection. As an alternative, you can turn your firewall off completely, though this risks opening up your computer to malicious programs.

To do this on Windows, go to the Control Panel and click Windows Firewall, click the off radio button and click OK. You will need to allow the app through/switch off the firewall for each PC, individually.

I am familiar with setting a simple LAN, however in the game, where do I put my friend's IP address? I see "Global IP Address" in the game launcher, should my friend advertise his IP there? If so, when he makes a lobby how do I connect to him or have him connect to me?

Also, i see a lot of animations unfinished, do I have the latest version installed? Will the game be out in a month as a finished product or as early access?

Another thing, if I hook up an xbox one contoller via USB is the game gonna detect it automatically?

Lastly, how can I get rid of the black borders that show up when I play?

On a complete different note, do you know any good 2D fighting games with similar moves to SF (and this game) that can be played on PC via LAN or Multiplayer, specially games with animated sprites just like this game?

Thanks!

IP addresses are for private lobbies. If someone hosts a private lobby, then you can copy/paste their IP into the game itself.

Follow this guide to set up your computer for netplay:

Play me whenever.

The game releases on July 7, 2015 as a somewhat finished product. What needs to be added is GGPO implementation.

Yes, you do have the latest version if you have the beta on Steam.

Black borders are unable to be gotten rid of.

The XBone controller should work as long as your computer recognizes it.

There are a ton of fighting games out for PC. Just google search for them.

Play me whenever.

Like nick said this is done in game, from network vs select "Join a Lobby" then with your friends ip copied click "Paste IP address" and then select "Join a Private Lobby" and it should connect you if your network is set up correctly.

As far as controllers are concerned I havent tested the xbone one yet but both the ps4 and logitech worked fine so I doubt you will have trouble with it.

You have the latest update currently, on launch though the game will have additional features which can be read about here: http://yatagarasu-ftg.com/update/release-date-announcement/ steam does the updating for you so as long as you allow steam to make the updates it should update for you when it is released.

I think you are playing the alpha version if you are seeing the unfinished sprites on azure.

That's what it looks like to me, plus one map still looks like a sketch and I still so gibirish (japanese I assume) popping up here and there. I unistalled the game and downloaded it again, but I don't think that solved anything.

I just double checked and all his crouching moves look unfinish, his image gets blurry when you do them (cr.lp , cr.mp, cr.lk. cr.mk)

When you start the game from steam do you have two selections with one being "play beta"
