- SAMURAI SHODOWN ROLLBACK MAJOR UPDATE - 4 June 2024
Hey Samsho fans! We're excited about Samurai Shodown's latest major patch because it contains some improvements that we feel will make a big impact with the community. First, the long-awaited intro skip has been implemented! Gone are the days where you have to sit through the character's lengthy (but interesting!) intros before starting the fight. A simple button press can now skip all that so you can get right to the action! Next, Samurai Shodown now features a decoupling technique which makes lower performing PCs play better online! The game's logic and framerate have been "decoupled" meaning they are not essentially tied together. What that means is that in the case where there are FPS drops, the game's logic (ie: button response times) are processed normally without also being dragged down. The added benefit of this technology is it greatly reduces the lag between two players playin…

- SAMURAI SHODOWN Beta 3 Rollback Patch ID 12726133 is live! - 17 November 2023
Technical details: Updated to latest EOS SDK 1.16.1 More debug network information displayed: Example: net=5a QREP 18ms sq 4 pq in:out=0100:0000 -"QREP" is estimated ping, and "sq" is the GGPO send queue -"pq" is low-level packet queue send/receive lengths *Note: If you get stalls, it will probably stop updating, and then come back with a large value (say, 1000, meaning a second). If you see "LIMIT STALL" it means your player has gotten 20 frames ahead of the other and is suspending input. There have been reports of lengthly hangs during combat, so we ask users to kindly record/take any images they can during these moments. Additionally, it seems the game's FPS can drop when rematching with the same opponent for a lengthly amount of time (30min+) without returning to the lobby. If you experience any drop in FPS, kindly make a note if the debug line mentioned above starts to behave unusa…

- SAMURAI SHODOWN COMMUNITY BETA TEST - 9 February 2023
ICYMI: SAMURAI SHODOWN will officially be updated with rollback netcode which will drastically improve the online play experience for players across the board. However, as this new technology will be retrofitted into the game, some intense testing has to take place and that’s where all you come into play (pun intended)! Now, let me level with you all real quick. You will run into a wide array of issues; some big, some small. These can and most likely will happen at any time during gameplay, and so before everyone goes to download, please keep this in mind: this rollback beta test is not indicative of what the final version is going to look/play like. In fact, in the interest of transparency and commitment, we wanted to inform everyone that we are planning a second beta test to improve on issues found in this beta and to make sure SAMURAI SHODOWN is in the best possible shape before it l…
