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

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
