Street Fighter V April Update Will Tackle Rage Quitting
Capcom's next update for their flagship fighter, Street Fighter V, will be rolling out this month, tasked with dealing with the ongoing issue of rage quitting in online match-ups.
When Street Fighter V arrived in February, it launched without a penalty system for those who drop out of a match early. Since then, short-term solutions have been implemented by Capcom which monitor players who abused the quit system.
Capcom stated, "though we were pretty confident that players in our system who had high disconnect rates were indeed those who were attempting to avoid a loss at all costs, we didn't want to start dishing out any punishments without clear proof. Moving forward, we will be making a sweep each week based on accounts in our system that have abnormally high disconnect rates (particularly at the end of the match) and will reset their League Points."
As confirmed on Twitter, Capcom will be revealing more details in the lead-up to the update.
