General Issues

Logging into GFWL -Your first time logging into GFWL will take a very long time, this is normal, just be patient (sometimes up to 10 minutes). Logging in after the first time will be much quicker.Make sure your password is less than 16 characters, if it is more than that it will cause issues for some reason.You can use any Microsoft account to log in to GFWL.Desync -Do not minimize the game while you're in the middle of an online match (including between rounds) , that will desync the game and cause a ton of lag. If you need to check something please do so after the match has ended.Spectating -The spectator feed is broken after round one, whatever you see in round 2 onward while you aren't playing is just a mess. So if you are streaming the game with more than you and one other then I would recommend teaming up to avoid being a spectator.Teaming up -In order to play with teams without breaking the lobby, you must pair with another player outside of the lobby first then join in the lobby using the search function (accepting an invite will break it as well). However if you are the host of the lobby then you can freely join/dismantle teams while you're in the lobby.DLC Bug -Occasionally, scrolling over DLC characters online will cause an error that sends you back to the main menu, it sucks, but you just have to go back into the lobby/recreate and try again, usually it will work when trying again or by switching lobby hosts. It is completely random and there is no known way to fix it at the moment unfortunately.Costumes -Swap costumes for the DLC characters, and Alternate costumes for every character were not added to the PC version, along with several gems, these were all included in the final patch that only consoles got. However we are PC master race so we can mod these costumes and more into the game so fret not.No Stage Showing in Game -If you just have a plain black background instead of a stage showing in the background while playing the game, you have the Stage setting turned all the way down in the graphics settings, turn that back on and you will see the stages again.Switch Framerate to Fixed -Go to Documents/CAPCOM/SFTK and open config, then make sure the line that says FrameRate=VARIABLE is instead changed to FrameRate=FIXED this will fix several issues tied to the frame rate.
