Street Fighter 5' Beta 2 Update: Match-Making System Issues Arise; User Experience 'Will Likely Be Limited'
Capcom provided an update regarding the ongoing "Street Fighter 5" beta 2. It noted that user experience will be affected by the issues that came up.
According to the quick update presented by the "Street Fighter 5" maker on Capcom-Unity website, there were a number of new issues that arose pertaining to the match-making system as well as "the rate at which matches." The company said that they are not confident that the rate will have huge improvement over the entire "Street Fighter 5" beta 2 schedule.
Due to this, Capcom warned the gamers that the user experience will vary and the "Street Fighter 5" beta 2 experience "will likely be limited." Beta testers can also expect that the current test version will not operate the way it was planned.
Though the servers will still be online to meet the schedule provided previously, fans can expect the matchmaking system to work very slowly. However, while waiting for online matches, "Street Fighter 5" beta testers can try the training mode.
Moreover, the latest SF version will also come with new features. Accordingly, these features provide gamers opportunity to "change the training dummy to be computer AI, or be playable by a friend locally."
