Xbox Live Challenger List Issue?

Done and tagged all three of them.

 

Glad I am not the only one frustrated here. I am going to follow some the same steps Rod has taken to support the potential fixing of this issue.

Side bar....I really wish I saw some of you online, im lucky if I see more than 2 people!

 

This issue is still going and is getting me to the point where I feel like abandoning the superior Xbox version and heading over to PSN and dealing with it's shitting online experience. I pretty much only purchase Xbox Live for VF and since it's not working, I might as well save my money.

Anyone have any ideas on how we can get someone at Sega or Xbox support to acknowledge that this problem is serious and killing the online experience? I've already tried direct messaging Sega, Sega Europe, Xbox and Xbox Support on Twitter, but as expected, no one responded. I wouldn't be surprised if my messages were not even read as I'm sure they get lots of similar messages from tons of people.

 

Let me ask this question: Does online as a whole not work or is this ranked match only? To be honest, yeah it’s an issue especially if you’re paying money for it, but if player match/room match remains functioning then isn’t that enough? Still be vocal
About it, but to contemplate “quitting”
XBL because ranked match doesn’t work but everything else does is a bit melodramatic, imo.

 

This shit does happen to Room as well.
It's annoying but have you guys try to get 3~5 people hit the Rank at the same time to see what's gonna happen? I believe the search list will still show those "active" players as priority no matter what, just my thought.

 

Exactly. Rod you have a point that the system should work better because you are a paying customer. However, they gave you Xbox One backwards compatibility for free. The fact that disconnected players clutter the list is an aestetic issue only. Ask a buddy to log on to ranked , he takes the top of the list and you can play him, regardless of the inactive players. Sorry to say but having a cluttered ranked list is a small price to pay for backwards compatibilty. Not only that but even before the patch, a lot of players don't play "custom match" on ranked: they play "quickmatch" on ranked so low level players can't stalk them and pester them with rematch challenges. You will find 50% more matches if you play "quickmatch" in ranked.


You are not seeing alot of players on "custom" match on ranked because a lot of players prefer the anonymity of "quickmatch" , and make the personal choice to avoid "custom" match at all costs. Ranked players are funny like that. Then there's the "peekers" those people who jump in "custom" ranked list, see who's there, then jump out before you can challenge them. If you challenge them just as they jump out, you get XBL or PSN error message. SEBO is shook after I Krush Grooved him and ripped out his soul, now he is a career " peeker" on PSN.

The cluttered glitched ranked list doesn't affect that one iota. Also there is another set of players who don't play "Worldwide" mode in ranked and only play "Local" .

Sad to say but 99% of this problem with the glitched ranked list is a optics issue only. If they bothered to fix it you would just be staring at an empty ranked list because this game is dead. Quitting XBL won't solve your frustration, it will only compound it. Lastly playing on PSN or XBL isn't mutually exclusive . With the one-frame input lag on Xbox One players VF 5, XBL VF isn't as pristine compared to Poverty Scrub Network anymore. Sadly sometimes I get better connection quality matches on PSN.

 

But I don’t play on Xbox One so who cares about backwards compatibility?

Eyesore or not, it needs to be fixed because that’s the point of paying for a premium service no matter how minor the issue is.

 

I feel your pain. You're a fairly intelligent dude, let me put this in perspective. It took three years for Capcom to fix the 8 frame input delay on PS4 SFV, and that game is actually popular with a huge player base. Given that time frame, how likely is Microsoft/ Sega going to fix an issue with a dead game?

You are just scratching the surface with the problems caused by the Xbox One VF backwards compatibility patch. There is also the issue where if you are fighting an Xbox One player online, and they hit the guide button on their controller, it induces lag on your end, sometimes causing a 2 second game freeze. Now thanks to that backwards compatibility patch, scrubs have a lag-switch built into their controller.

Its a quagmire and is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

 

Sadly, I have to agree with you. Chances of the issue getting fixed is pretty much slim to none.

 

Finally cleared up for me. Both local and world ranked lists display only active players!

 

That's awesome news!

 

I have now the same problem after I got the optic fiber and I don't know if it's my connection and my ISP or the xbox live issue.( because I didn't play for a very long time )
Both in ranked and player matchs. I saw a list of duplicate ghost players with grey icons

 

It seems like the answer to this is to badger folks at MS and or Sega till this gets fixed. I'll have to get on it.

 

Logged in today after a long hiatus and WOW, the problem is 10 times worse. It's literally bled into every area of online versus play. Soon, the only option will be invite only room matches.

I'm really flabbergasted that nothing has been done to combat this issue. Has anyone reached out to MS or Sega? There has to be at least one person on this forum with the contact info of a Sega rep considering all the VF promotion we have done throughout the years. It's a long shot, but perhaps that person can provide just a tiny bit of assistance? I mean, what do we have to lose at this point?

Curious, but does anyone know if players in other regions such as the UK etc, are getting the same results as those represented in the images I uploaded?

 

Sega actually fixed this last April. The problem is after a couple months, an XBL update undid the patch. A legacy system like Xb360 is unfortunately an afterthought. Xbox Series X is only a few months away. This reminds me of the issue with your XBL blocklist being erased after every update. I've had to block communications from STL Tim at least 3 times.

The only option is to use quickmatch. A better choice would be to buy a Sega Lindbergh Yellow and just play KnockOut Trials.

 

I’ve tried blocking the memory of everything you’ve bitched about, created stupid videos for, and wished you took a YouTube editing class, but my brain keeps it in there for comic relief.

not just 1 in 10,000..
Just are you really mildly retarded?

 

@rodney

it’s just a matter of people spamming e-mails to get the job done. Just because IT MAY seem that there is no hope doesn’t mean anyone should stop trying to get the job done. I’d say keep spamming everyday.
