Outright game manipulation

TheWashingtonExperience (probable cheater)

How is it that my inputs just suddenly don't work and I have like 4/5 second periods where the game massively increases delay?

sooooooo convenient for my opponent that it's only when im offstage or before some simple reaction techable combo starters on stock 3? (like kragg dashattack into ftilt)

This needs to be fixed.

I see tons of subtle convenient lag drops in this game, and either my pc is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it's pants and cpu bottlenecking in response to.....

me being offstage?

or there is some kind of predictable scenario in the (rollback) code people are abusing, or the servers need SERIOUS improvement.
(which probably would be happening more consistently if that's all)

is there a way to have these suss games analysed?

I don't know what setting adjustments i haven't tried.
it just seems like the rollback works almost always and only in favor of the wifi players

I climbed to the top30 online ranked rivals 1, so ill play some games with anyone that assumes it's a skill issue lol

Anyone else experiencing this?

And if the game plays smooth as butter for you, what are your game graphics settings and specs? i run 240fps monitor, my hardware is a little outdated tbf, but if it's the issue anyone know how to check?

I see the delay frames stay minimum 4 in the worst games.

it seems like they just throttle their connection to the point of near instability on demand for as long or little as they please.

like a switch or button activated at will.
bad connections i can fight but bad connection and polling rate on demand? How and why?

Sounds like a server issue. Some of the servers are notably worse than others, and even within the same region servers some matches of them will be much worse than others.

There is the option to report the server as problematic in the post game stats screen.

It could be some kind of controller polling rate issue or my cpu sux.
but some players it seems to lag out only when its really bad for me. Like 30 missing frames then normal ish gameplay.

Idk if they tank their connection somehow when im offstage for this kind of result but sometimes its way too consistently like the worst possible time it could be for my character. like suddenly no inputs accepted for a second. only during recovery.

The online in this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad man because the server says what happened instead of both of your systems so when heavy lag happens on one side the game assumes your inputs and rolls forwards which is why this is able to happen. it is not a internet connection issue it is a server issue because unlike normal rollback where if a lag spike happens on one of the systems the game keeps going back until you both are in sync the server goes forward until you both are in sync which causes a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Blame the devs for being dumb as ♥♥♥♥ for 2 game modes no one plays and they could easily make the servers for those two game modes but no. everyone has to deal it

I don’t think that it’s hacking or lag switching, but the game is incredibly laggy at times

i also noticed the servers going down hill in the past 1-2 weeks. rollback now varies between 1-5 for servers where it was rock solid on 2 before.
i am kinda afraid they already need to safe on server cost because the game is still loosing players so fast....

I can barely play anymore because most games are lagging me to death. Its just not fun. I know very well i have a stable internet connection.

I've lost jumps completely and haven't been able to use wrastor's neutral b to recover when not in hit stun. I'll press multiple times and then it finally comes out when i'm not expecting it. Have lost a few games because of that.

It's so dumb. I ran into d4nace and the same thing happened. Got game 1, then it ♥♥♥♥ itself game 2 and 3 and no recovery options available for 2 or 3 stocks in the set.

I can link the games I exported them.

D4nance is the director of rivals good to know he has to deal with what he made

yeah it being server based instead of peer to peer like every normal fighting game is really strange. like the first one peer to peer and the connection in that one was way better. Like i play with a friend like across the world and rivals 2 we have crappy connection whereas rivals 1 we have decent connection.

Like from my understanding the servers was used since it was quicker and cheaper and lets them do crossplay down the road. and like i heard that they had to release it when they did because the budget wouldnt allow to go any further.

One "solution" ive heard is to dodge those servers but like that isnt really a solution since like someplaces there is only one server that you are forced to play on. like i can only play on sydney servers and they are really terrible. it sucks since the game is fun but the online isnt.
