Searching for opponents...

[Nice cup of LiberTEA]

I have not been able to get a single ranked match since the game has come out, I have no problem playing with anyone in the hub or custom rooms etc, but the game will not find a ranked match so I cant even do my placements. Does this game require port forwarding or something?

For what?

For a fix. I've been able to get matches every 20 or so mins but the wait times insane compared to all my friends who're getting matches within seconds. I've looked through all possible scenarios but no idea what to do. Port forwarding didn't work, tho I did ipv4 instead of 6 so might try porting again today and see if that helps :(

Give VPN a shot. It works well now.

[FadedCurator]

I did, no luck :(

Pure VPN with paid subscription works for me. It adds about +20 ping on EU. I see you are from Australia, so i don't know which server you should choose. Maybe Cali? It's fgs mecca.

I've already spent the whole day to fix it and nothing worked. It got me with czech vpn yesterday and i finally got matches every 5-10 sec, but then i opened required ports and it messed up again.

For now: NAT = doesn't work
VPN = doesn't work
NAT + VPN = doesn't work
Disabled NAT + VPN = doesn't work
DMZ + Disabled NAT = doesn't work
^^ same ♥♥♥♥ but with VPN = doesn't work

Possible fixes, maybe something would work for you:

- Config NAT in router configuration and open ports are suggested by Capcom: https://www.streetfighter.com/6/support/en-us#online_port

- Try to use VPN app (it worked for me once, before i opened ports, now nothing works even with deleted NAT config)

- Check Windows Updates. Seems like it can fix. There was an optional update 23-05.

- Try DMZ in router settings

-Disable firewalls or config them to let steam and sf pass through it

- Set .exe file to always run as administrator


I think that's all possible fixes i found yesterday. It works for most players, but unfortunately not for me.

Good luck.

wtf is wrong with you? you should be perma banned for using a VPN during game to add an extra layer of lag. please GTFO the internet.

Found out via a discord that everyone in my province here in Canada is having this issue, For whatever reason east coast Canada is not matched with the East coast US at all severely limiting the player pool.

Do you think i'm the only one who have problems with region locked matchmaking while having good wired optical ethernet?) Capcom fixed the communication errors, but matchmaking issue still exists. I don't want to wait 10-15 minuites to find one match to play, when i have 110 ping with europe, where matchmaking works. Due to good netcode adding 20-30 latency with VPN isn't a problem.

I still have this problem, I can play with people throught cabinets, but if I wait for casual or ranked matches I never get anyone, sometimes it say "found" , but it immediatly dissapears

you have "region locked matchmaking" because you live in a country with terrible internet that drops so many packets an online game is unplayable with you. PROTIP : bandwidth dosent mean jack when youre running the signal through old copper cables and dropping packets all over the place.

and are you trying to say that 110ms of lag is GOOD? thats insane! anything over or approaching 100ms is in danger territorty. but again, lag isnt the only issue.

Oh, ok. Before Capcom shutdowned servers i saw some reports about "matchmaking issue" from Ireland and Belgium. In this thread we see Canadian man who can't play with USA. Central and South America can't play with USA too. Australian man in this thread too. CIS region can't play with Europe and should play with Chinese with much worse ping even without VPN. And there are only a couple of players who reported here about issue. Are all of them have bad ethernet? Of course no. Should we say sorry to you and drop the game because you said we should be banned for using VPN and you think we live in bad countries? Of course no, we should mirror your "gtfo" in your face. We don't have any choice.

I understood your "PROTIP". However, i can play other matchmaking-based games without any problems, with working search, with same matchmaking speed as people from countries with "excellent internet that doesn't drop so many packets at online games which playable for them". Everybody who has broken matchmaking in SF can prove that they can play other games. It's not a packet dropping issue. It's just some kind of mistake in matchmaking algorithm i think.

Also don't know what sugar dream country are you from that 100 ping is almost unplayable. 180-200 is unplayable for the half of the world gamers in most online games. And even that ping in SF6 or GGS is not so bad due to rollback.

I still get communication errors.
This netcode is a joke.

[Sandy]

I get errors especially when I train in lab while searching for a match. It feels like when I do cool combos in the lab the matchmaking somehow struggles.

And even on expressvpn (fastest vpn, I don't lose any ping) matches take much longer to find than on MK11 or T7, where I literally find matches in few seconds after hitting the search button.

Sf6 by far has the most garbage netcode I ever experienced in a fighting game.

Ok sir. Imagine i'll learn. What are my next steps? Should i relocate from my country and stop using VPN? :) Because actual knowledge about basic CS won't help me with 10-15 minitues matchmaking in this game, while other online games have no issues at all. Should we all relocate from Australia/Canada to the USA, from Georgia to the heart of Europe just to find matches in 15-20 secs?

Or is it easier for us to use VPN with subscription, connect to German server for example and enjoy damn game with +20 latency? The choice is obvious.

I can't understand, firstly, what are you doing in this thread if you don't have any problems. I'm here to find maybe somebody have another solutions without VPN or offer people my variant. What about you?

And secondly, why are you answering only me shouting about computer knowledge and aren't seeing the issue reports above or in simillar threads? The guy above said straightly that Canadian local discord is full enough of reports with matchmaking problems. Yeah, relocate from Canada bois..
