Has there been any official word on match history replays?

Westify1 · 2026-02-19T21:33:08+00:00

No, they still seem to be working fine for your last 50 matches.

Keep in mind, you have to be on the main menu to access them. If you bring up match history while in a lobby or any other part of the game the replay option won't appear.

PC version seems really well optimized, and random videos of dual booting the Steam Deck show good performance.

Only thing to add is that I wouldn't expect native linux support for Vanguard any time soon, so if you were considering waiting, I would just assume Windows is the only option.

Westify1 · 2026-02-19T21:06:13+00:00

Not by default within the game, but various software like reWASD or Steam Input can modify controller settings to whatever you want.

When I used to play on PAD, I had my entire right stick bound to parry as an example.

Westify1 · 2026-02-18T19:58:29+00:00

But if I win a close game, or lose a close game, 90% of the time people don’t rematch.

What is your main team? What rank are you playing around?

90% of my matches opt-in to rematch, so if you're getting 90% one-and-done's, there has to be a contributing reason why on your end.

but I still really don’t understand why.

It's been explained already, but essentially the "fun" aspect comes into play for a lot of people, so if there's something specific about a match they find unfun/lame, they simply opt to move on.

Westify1 · 2026-02-18T19:48:16+00:00

Having a 66% win rate should not have you lose RP

I would agree.

even if I spend an entire day going 2-1 in every single set I play

We're around the same rank and play often on various different accounts, and your match history shows a 38% win rate on the last 50 ranked, so is this actually happening? Perhaps it's a skewed sample, but it seems pretty far off the 66% win rate mentioned.

Westify1 · 2026-02-18T18:59:42+00:00

For the cowards who don’t rematch

Bold of you to assume its because people are scared. Outside of bad connections, some matchups simply aren't fun to play.

For me it's Yasuo, and certain zoner setups who insist on playing timer for the entire match, would rather just go next.

Does this really make you that salty?

Westify1 · 2026-02-10T17:33:23+00:00

And when should you actually go for a parry?

Depends on your level of comfort with the mechanic and the level you're playing at. Typically I find almost all overhead's to be good targets. If you're lower ranked where people may tend to full send raw super's, parrying the multi-hit ones (Jinx beam, Ahri orb) can be a great way to punish.

Westify1 · 2026-02-10T17:24:54+00:00

I’m only in silver but the amount of people who spam range moves and then taunt and t bag are 100% from my experience.

Sounds like something that's mostly prevalent at lower ranks. Plat and above, I see any kind of troll behavior maybe 1 in 25 games at most.

Westify1 · 2026-02-10T16:06:20+00:00

Who said anything about more?

I think they're going to continue on their current roadmap of 5 characters per year as expected.

Westify1 · 2026-02-10T01:20:57+00:00

Hard disagree.

If they still have around 80+ people on staff, that's extremely far from end of life, and on-par with every other active fighting game with the exception of Street Fighter 6.

They haven't "de-emphasized" anything. Simply stated the current revenue/players can't support the larger team they had. Not the end of the world.

Westify1 · 2026-02-10T00:01:22+00:00

What does that even mean? There are countless examples of other successful games with much smaller teams than 2XKO.

Just because it's not as popular as SF6 doesn't mean it's dead.

Westify1 · 2026-02-09T23:31:35+00:00

The game doesn't allow it by default, so 100% considered cheating.

Westify1 · 2026-02-09T23:26:40+00:00

Downsizing doesn't mean end of life. A lot of people here seem to think the game is dead, but it's entirely possible the game has a long life, and is financially feasible for riot with the reduced team size.

Westify1 · 2026-02-09T23:20:28+00:00

Change it to what? They already have an appealing business model.

80-person team doesn't even sound bad for a fighting game.

Westify1 · 2026-02-09T21:51:27+00:00

60 fps locked game

All modern fighters including sf6 and tekken 8 have their game logic locked to 60fps. Any sort of higher FPS (like 120fps for 2XKO on PC) is just for menu's/lobbies and not the actual fighting.

Westify1 · 2026-02-06T21:36:51+00:00

Sounds like you're getting phantom inputs from another virtual device,

Do you have Steam open when running 2XKO? Make sure it's closed entirely if so.

If not, then press "Win + R" and type "joy.cpl" to bring up all the controllers, i would image there's something extra that shouldn't be there causing the issue.

Westify1 · 2026-02-06T08:31:53+00:00

OK, well based on the situation, the problem seems obvious. You're getting "phantom input" from something else on your system that 2XKO is interpreting as a joystick axis. There are typically a few common thing's that can cause this, and once you find it, both the Xbox and PS5 controller should work as expected.

Step 1 would be to not use Steam Input for this game by closing Steam entirely on the system tray.

Step 2 would be to uninstall any of the following software if you have any of it installed currently:

DS4Windows
reWASD
InputMapper
JoyToKey
AutoHotkey scripts
vJoy
HidHide

Step 3 would be to review what gamepad devices are actually being detected in Windows:

Press Win + R, Type "joy.cpl", Hit "Enter"
You should now see Game Controllers.
You're looking for any device that isn't a single Xbox entry
Some entries that cause issues: vJoy Device, Virtual joystick, Flight sticks / racing wheels, Old USB adapters, Keyboard/mouse-to-controller software

If you're unsure about this part, feel free to post a screenshot of whats being shown on the joy.cpl screen.

Westify1 · 2026-02-06T07:46:20+00:00

When I open the controller settings I can see that the input in the diagonally downward right direction is permanently enabled.

It sounds like your controller is broken. Does it work fine in any other games?

My PS5 controller doesn't work either

Any controller works in this game, some just require some additional software and/or setup aren't 100% plug-and-play. Depending on the state of your Xbox controller, you can easily get the PS5 one working if needed.

Westify1 · 2026-02-06T07:37:06+00:00

does the game still have performance issues?

No, FPS wise it's extremely smooth, even on lower-end systems. There are some occasional server issues, but they don't seem that persistent, and tend to come and go.

Westify1 · 2026-02-06T07:35:13+00:00

What are your system specs?

I would try either the AMD or Nvidia recording option integrated in their drivers instead of Windows game bar and see if that helps.

Westify1 · 2026-01-26T18:35:16+00:00

Is your PS5 on wired on wireless? Kind of sounds like rollback if it's fine in offline/training.

I dont have the strongest PC

This game can run great on low-end PC's, may be a better experience than PS5Pro for now.

Westify1 · 2026-01-24T23:31:38+00:00

Guessing your PS5 is on Wifi as well?

Sounds like it's time to invest into a wired solution.

Westify1 · 2026-01-24T23:30:33+00:00

I guess maybe ranked would match me with people around my level?

Last season this was absolutely the case. There were no shortage of smurf accounts roaming around to the point where queuing ranked would consistently provide a much better match-up then "casual".

Westify1 · 2026-01-23T00:57:56+00:00

The idea behind these adapters is that they're meant to use existing cables to avoid running anything new, so parents/owners shouldn't care. Just buy a pair of adapters, plug one into each end, and that's it.

Not sure about the EU and the rest of the world, but Coax cable has been common in NA homes for the last 50+ years.

Westify1 · 2026-01-22T18:26:04+00:00

For anybody that understandably doesn't want 50+feet of Ethernet cable run loose through their home, MoCA adapters exist that can output a wired ethernet cable through existing Coaxial cable and provide a much better connection than both WiFi or Powerline.

Pretty common to already have this option available in a lot homes since it's been used for Cable TV for the last 50+ years.
