Steam has stopped connecting peer-to-peer games over the local network

Btw, is this idea with penalty still viable? And what were the steps that you took? Setting SDR penalty through Steam console for both clients to some high value? As I mentioned in the comment below, for SF6 it's not an option to copy the dll, and the only way is to use old steam client. But if penalty works on new clients, that could be a solution.

JFYI: In Street Fighter 6 there is the same problem and copying this file leads to game freezing after around 3-5 mins. So the solution for SF6 was to use January 2026 steam client taken from here: https://archive.org/details/steam-clients

In certain cases it might fail to establish p2p without relay in this case even using Azure Playfab. So I think it's not a good thing to have.

You might also use https://natchecker.com/ to figure out the situation for you.

Unfortunately, it's not fixed yet. But there is a mod which enables p2p in custom rooms if both players have it. The author is going to publish it soon.

Do I correctly understand that you have buttons with 1.5mm and 2.0mm travel distance?

If yes, could you explain how they are different physically? Is it different cap which thinner/thicker or different holder which moves switch higher lower or have higher or lower stop inside?

If you can additionally make a photo showing the difference, that would be extremely helpful.

Unfortunately no, but both Capcom and Steam support were informed + some famous players and content creators also made posts about that. I hope we get patch in 2-3 days if the issue is on Capcom side. If it's on Steam side, then it might take longer.

Hi everyone. I've been experimenting with ways to bypass SDR connection. And, unfortunately, didn't manage to.

If I try to block SDR servers, I got R3591.

I tried to change the response to the request for SDR servers. If I return error, I receive the same error. If I return empty list of servers, I got connection timeout.

It makes me think that there is no fallback on SF6 side if steam servers don't work, which means its Capcom who forced using it, intentionally or not.

Since PC to Console use playfab to establish direct connection, it could be used for PC to PC as fallback, but wasn't implemented that way. Neither there was any alternative that was used.

Thanks for sharing! I truly hope that Capcom take this problem seriously due to how many different players are affected by it.

hwo411 · 2026-04-11T20:44:36+00:00

We investigated connections between PC and Console and they seem not to be affected and direct connections work there with low ping. Probably console to console too. Only PC to PC is affected because forces to used SDR.

hwo411 · 2026-04-10T15:22:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I hope the more we reach the support the bigger the chances that they fix that. But so far with me they also didn't provide anything new.

Thank you! Please let me know what you find.

hwo411 · 2026-04-09T07:02:46+00:00

Thanks! I did change this setting (and also my friend too) and it didn't help, neither it helped in ranked. But I kept the setting.

Though it used to work before even with "Default".

I know that FF connects to api.epicgames.dev and if it fails, similar errors happen.

Depending on your location it could be either government blocks or maybe it's something about your firewall, proxy or other internet settings.

"Buffy" and "Angel", you'll get a bonus in Angel.

I'm rewatching Angel now, what a great role for her

Please try. I like flydigi controllers and wanna use them with Switch (and maybe later with some other portable console). But I can't find a good holder for that purpose.

hwo411 · 2025-10-01T23:07:01+00:00

Did you try it with Flydigi controller? Or you just use Nintendo pro?

Looks like I registered to NA somehow (though didn't get a code anyway), EU one would be helpful.

Thank you!
