Thread: PS3 SF4 owners PLEASE READ THIS! (NAT settings in post 21)

For the Love of all that is good and great in this world PLEASE INSTALL SF4 TO YOUR PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only got online battles for a few times and the regular loading time for sf4 on ps3 is retarded!!! When you install the game it cuts down on the loading time a lot!!! That should have been the 1st thing you did when you got sf4 imo. That's what I did when I put sf4 in my ps3. Trust me when I tell you it will make the loading time like the arcade loading time. Someone PLEASE STICKY this thread because it's VERY important!!!

/cosign,

I had 3 people in a row that did not install the game. I thought it was a habit with Ps3 games to have it installed the moment you put it in. Unless you play multiple games and and your HD is full.

How do I install SF4 on the Hard Drive of the PS3? Any step by steps, please?

thats a good question khameleon .. i would like to know that as well

FROM MAIN MENU:

Options>System settings>Install

through system settings right under cut scene Subs

i think it took me 1 match online to install it. everyone do eeet

i thought it was automatic and necessary. its annoying but it works

I think most people don't even know you can. I installed it first thing because I knew it had the option before I got the game. I don't think i've played against anyone who hasn't installed it yet (done about 20 matches).

if my opponent picks ken or sagat in ranked matches, I know that it's going to take 20 seconds to load

BET IT

ALSO

no you didn't install the game by doing the update, you need to go to the options and choose install. When I played the game for the first time and saw how long it took to load, I figured they added an option to install some of the game data (and because I so smart, I was correct)

IN-DE--STRUC-TI-BLE

But on a serious note, i've fought a lot of people that didn't install sf4 yet. Just spread the word for ps3 owners of the game. It's a must that everyone installs the game imo!

Also, if you haven't done it already, take the time to forward the ports on your PS3 so you can have a more stable connection online. The ports you need are:

• TCP: 80, 443, 5223, 10070-10080
• UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658, 10070

If you need a guide on doing it, here's a simple one:

OOOOOO!

Nice one! Id rep if I could.

nice, thanks dood i was wondering if i need to forward ports.

First thing I did when I booted up the game also.

About 90% of the random people I play online haven't installed it and it drives me nuts. I was playing a friend who didn't and after the first game I said install it and we're not playing until you do. He installed and good times were then had.

I understand mandatory installs are annoying on the PS3, but I wish this was one of them. It improves the game for everyone.

Yeah, DMZing your system is the best. It's really easy if you do that you don't have to mess with port forwarding for your console.

I'm surprised how many Sony owners don't know about installs -- all of the few games I've played have an install option.
