As we all know, Street Fighter 5 is set to receive an update next week which will contain the free Story Mode update, Ibuki as a character and a bunch of other goodies.
Another thing to be included in this update, it was revealed today, are improvements to the game's online matchmaking. A post on Capcom-Unity from Haunts detailed what exactly this will entail.
Check out the full notes below.
Improvements to Matchmaking Preferences
Since launch there have been issues where matchmaking preferences have not been working properly for some users. This includes hardware preference settings, connection quality settings and being matched with other players far outside of your League Point range. These issues have now been resolved.
Matchmaking Speed
In some cases, player’s League Points weren’t synchronizing across all servers which resulted in longer than expected wait times to find a match. With this fix, users should start seeing matches at a more rapid pace than before.
Smarter Matchmaking
Matching logic based on League Points has been improved and players should now be matched with other players of similar skill more often. There are also additional improvements to location based matchmaking, along with an increased range of qualified match candidates.
Improved Quality of Matches
Improvements were made to the connection range settings (1-5) and should more accurately reflect the quality of incoming matches.
