Fix the character model clipping. R.Mika's hair should not GO THROUGH her body.

People are still reporting game not launching due to anti-virus, DEP, or windows defender blocking the game.

Work out SOMETHING so this problem is not so wide spread.

you should fix your OCD.

The clipping on Laura, Birdie, Ken, and R.Mika are cringe worthy though

[Sonic63587]

Fix clipping, fix Ken's face, fix the netcode it should be at Fightcade level at least!

We understand many players were not happy with the load times when entering online matches. There will now be a shorter transition when going into a Ranked or Casual Match.

If this is active in the beta it's so subtle I can't tell, load times still feature lots of waiting around. Clarity on what this means and what we should expect would be helpful.

Can`t believe that you still can't see ping bars when looking for battle lounges.
Can't believe this is another beta where you can find 0 matches through ranked and casual search.

I think I'm done with this game. Over a year nothing has happened to make the game better, now we get a beta that is as bad as the betas pre-launch.

So far I haven't been able to participate in a match. I cannot find anyone searching under Ranked, Casual or be asked on either. I joined some lobbies only to not be able to fight. Both players agree but it stays there and cancels our "Ready" state. Pretty lame so far.

[Green Link]

the connections seem amazing so far. I like the new fighters profile. the matcmaking still seemed kinda slow maybe cus not too many ppl are playing atm.
also the announcer voice before and after the matches is a nice touch but it said the wrong thing on me once xD. Like "you're about to rank up" when I already ranked up xD

[int3r]

Loading times slightly improved but I have had continued issues losing connection to opponent during the load screens both in battle lounge and in ranked/casual.

Still takes quite a while to get matches.

Toolasssited's ULoadFast mod is still night and day faster than this update.

Also the announcer voice says totally random and not applicable things between rounds. I deranked my opponent and it said I allowed him to rank up -_-

EDIT: 9 opponents in a row, 0 games because they all had "connection lost" errors and bounced back to the menu. https://i.imgur.com/JEZogxB.jpg

EDIT: Update 3/31:

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AHEAD:

After a few more days of testing, this still needs serious work. 9/10 matches are still a laggy, teleport-filled, constantly-rolling-back mess. Matchmaking seems to be the same in terms of how quickly you get matches, aka still way too slow. Having 2-3 minutes (minimum) downtime in between matches coupled with another full 1-2 minutes of loading for each match turns players away extremely quickly, especially when you finally get a match and it's just a lag fest.

Battle lounges ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE A REGION FILTER! Seeing the same 15 hosts over and over in full lounges in another country with 0 bars is a waste of time. When you leave or are kicked from a battle lounge, it should not kick you all the way back to the main menu, it should kick you back to the list of available lounges.

The load times basically have not been improved at all, because the REAL problem is the transition animations that you are still forcing us to watch. SHORTEN THE TRANSITION ANIMATIONS OR REMOVE THEM ENTIRELY, THIS IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF WASTED TIME IN THIS GAME.

- "Another fight is coming your way!" - 15 seconds wasted

- Characters over spinning globe with music in the background: another 15-20 seconds wasted

- White screen where all the actual loading is done: about 10 seconds <--- THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY LOADING TIME WE ARE DEALING WITH, REMOVE THE USELESS ANIMATIONS.

THIS GAME ABSOLUTELY NEEDS SOME FORM OF IN GAME CHAT THAT IS NOT PRE-MADE MESSAGEES. Especially if you're planning on pushing the whole CFN Friend system. Not even being able to tell someone "sorry your connection is too laggy" before kicking them from the battle lounge is lame and feels like a ♥♥♥♥ move, and not being able to properly communicate means you can't ACTUALLY make friends with people.

The announcer voice that tells you when you're about to rank up or whatever still constantly plays incorrect or irrelevant sound clips.

And I know this won't happen ever, but for the love of god please fix the myriad of clipping errors in your models.

[aurich]

Matchmaking seems totally broken now. I was able to play a Casual and Ranked match right after the beta launched, and then after that nothing, just searches without making any connections for the last hour.

[UNKNWN]

I keep getting disconnected form my games in battle lounge although my opponent has 4-5 bars while queueing up for the game. It just says error code 40002. My first games went fine with a bit of lag, and now I can't really play at all. It may be an issue on my part but this has never happened to me before.

[WildStar]

1. Still no ping bars in the battle lounge browser?
2. Can't connect to any lounge matches...

no training? pretty much throwing me right into the lions' den where i don't know what i'm doing; also we HAVE to use our favourite character?

[Onyxah]

I wasn't able to match with anyone despite there being more than 1 000 people online right now. After waiting for around 10 minutes, the game just crashed.

"favorite character" actually means currently selected character, you can change your "favorite" if you want to use someone else.
