Battle lounge gave me matches from Europe, Brazil and America.

Ranked gave me a match with a Pakistani. It's weird.

BTW I can't choose another flag once I've chose one in the beginning? I chose the default SF5 one, I want the Pakistani flag!

I hate you Beelo!

The connections themselves are pretty darn good, it's just the weird matchmaking and the messed up lobbies that's the problem. Hopefully this all will be sorted out by March if not sooner.

I just played 10 character's story stuff in a row and did a bit of survival. Was queued the entire time and didn't get a single casual or ranked match. Bah :(

I just played a bit of Rocket League and was connected to EU servers easily with a ping of less than 150 ms. Yet SFV shows me 1 ping bar for Battle Lounges. Maybe I need to remove Google DNS?

When I played locally online with @CerebralTiger, we played with 4 bars to full 5 bars.

Update: Removing DNS and going with default was a success somewhat. Had my first two ping bar match with someone from Spain. He was ranked 5.9k so it was a PERFECT KO. I am that bad, yeh :p

After trying a lot of matches via Battle Lounge, I have come to the conclusion that the matchmaking is just that... i.e shit.

Battle Lounge is working absolutely fine for me so far. Getting 2-3 bars with fights from EU-US users. They are mostly playable with slight lag but I still won a lot of the fights easily. But yet, I still can't get an actual ranked match with matchmaking. sigh.

Thanks to SFV, I had to complain to PTCL about my pings and maybe it did have an affect or something, because right now, my pings in Rocket League have reduced a lot and same goes for other games. But it could be just placebo effect because we all know PTCL can barely fix their own stuff :p

If anyone wants to fight together in Battle Lounge, they can add me on PSN @PGDarkLordMalik or Fighter ID: DarkLordMalik.

On PTCL. Have been unable to find a ranked or casual match since launch!! Only lobbies are working for me. Game shows as though I'm in Europe. I've tried everything from deleting steam cookies and using VPN to resetting steam and deleting save files. Gonna reinstall the game and see if that helps but any advice would be appreciated.

EDIT: Whoops, accidentally posted the same thing.

I've heard of people getting shown as the wrong region, but all of them had used VPNs to access the game before it launched and they seem to be finding matches fine now. Try asking around on the steam forums since this seems to be a PC specific issue.

Though I think the not getting matches problem is not related to the showing up as the wrong region problem.

Anyone want to play tonight after 12, add me up. Seems like battle lounge is the only way to play online for now.

Man! For me, this has been a horrible online experience - across all Ranked, Casual, and Battle Lounges. Not been able to find a single online game since launch on PC. Anyway, I've added you guys using your FighterID except 'DarkLordMalik' - that one didn't seem to work. Hit me up if you would like to add me - Fighter ID: TheCelestial

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
