Geofilter doesn't work at all in Street Fighter on Steam

In the router settings, I set my PC to Console, and I left all the options for tighter restrictions turned on.

However, visually, users outside the geofilter map continue to connect,

It even matches the user who just blocked access.

This was seen in casual matches.


I thought this expensive router would work well in ranked matches with a large user pool,

I feel completely deceived now.

The reason you're connecting to players outside of your radius is because you have ping assist set to 40. Could you please try setting ping assist to 0, reboot the game and try again. You should now only be matched with players inside your search radius.

I'm not sure if we've specifically tested the game but can you provide a screenshot of the entire Geo-Filter page showing what you see when you get a game outside the radius please?

(PIC 1) This is my current setting

 

 

 

(PIC 2) This situation is connected with the other party regardless of Ping Assist. (The SFV client has matched this user to me and confirmed acceptance.)

 

 

 

(PIC 3, 4) This is a situation connected with a user outside the geofilter range.

Similarly, the SFV client asks if you want to accept the game with that user through settings.

However, in order not to meet users outside the range, you have to check through Duma OS.

Re: Geofilter doesn't work at all in Street Fighter on Steam

So, in what situations is the Ping Assist feature most effective?

 

Are there any recommended usage environments?

Re: Geofilter doesn't work at all in Street Fighter on Steam

Actually the main reason likely alongside ping assist is that you have fast search enabled - this can ignore Ping Assist to get you a faster game. Turn this off first, then try, if it continues lower Ping Assist to 30/35.
