|release history  = '''''Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition''''' is the third variant of ''Street Fighter IV'', released on July 5, 2011. It was originally distributed on consoles as DLC/edition upgrade for ''Super Street Fighter IV'' (the second variant), but on PC they were only sold in a bundle. Compared to the original ''Street Fighter IV'', it includes multiple new characters, new stages, rebalanced existing characters, as well as new game modes (Team Battle, Replay Channel, Endless Battle). Two major updates were released: "Version 2012" from December 13, 2011, with changed attacks and updated hitboxes<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://static.capcom.com/streetfighter/downloads/SSFIV%20Arcade%20Edition%202012%20Final%20Change%20List%20-%20US.pdf|title=Official changelog (PDF)|date=2023-07-08}}</ref>; and the short-lived "Version 2014" from May 30, 2014 which switched the online multiplayer service from [[Games for Windows - LIVE]] to [[Store:Steam|Steamworks]]<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/super-street-fighter-4-arcade-edition-ditching-gfw-live-for-steamworks-this-friday/|title=Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition ditching GfW Live for Steamworks this Friday <nowiki>|</nowiki> PC Gamer|date=2023-07-08}}</ref>, and also tweaked some interface elements and replay system.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://worthplaying.com/article/2014/5/27/news/92448-super-street-fighter-iv-arcade-edition-all-switches-to-steamworks-dlcs-do-not-transfer/|title=Worthplaying <nowiki>|</nowiki> 'Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition' (ALL) Switches To Steamworks, DLCs Do Not Transfer|date=2023-07-08}}</ref>

'''''Ultra Street Fighter IV''''' is the fourth and final variant of the game, released on August 7, 2014, and existing owners of ''SSF4AE'' need to purchase an edition upgrade package to access its new content. Confusingly, the Steam SKU was renamed to this version for all users.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/45760/discussions/0/34094415758294227/|title=PSA: Name Change from SSF4AE to Ultra SFIV in your Game Library :: Ultra Street Fighter IV General Discussion|date=May 2023}}</ref> This edition includes a final set of 5 additional characters, 6 stages ported from ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'', new mechanics (Ultra Combo Double, Red Focus Attack and Delayed Standing), the Elimination game mode, the ability to join other players online in Training mode, and an edition selection mechanic which allows the selection of characters as they were balanced in prior editions of the game.

The game runs best when you use the 'Fixed' frame rate option under 'Graphics Settings' and disable VSync. This also fixes some potential online desynchronization issues. Using the 'Smooth' frame rate option can lead to malfunctioning attacks. The game was designed to be ran at a constant 60fps so anything other than a fixed frame rate can cause issues. If you experience tearing, you can enable VSync either through the game or your graphics driver software, but this adds a minor delay in input, though it's not noticeable to most players.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/SF4/comments/2o5fr9/psa_dont_use_smooth_framerate_option/ PSA: Don't use 'Smooth Framerate' option. : SF4 - Reddit.com]</ref>

Warnings

For Games for Windows - LIVE on Windows 8 or later, install the latest Games for Windows - LIVE software.

This article covers two mutually related expanded variants of the fighting game Street Fighter IV.

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is the third variant of Street Fighter IV, released on July 5, 2011. It was originally distributed on consoles as DLC/edition upgrade for Super Street Fighter IV (the second variant), but on PC they were only sold in a bundle. Compared to the original Street Fighter IV, it includes multiple new characters, new stages, rebalanced existing characters, as well as new game modes (Team Battle, Replay Channel, Endless Battle). Two major updates were released: "Version 2012" from December 13, 2011, with changed attacks and updated hitboxes[1]; and the short-lived "Version 2014" from May 30, 2014 which switched the online multiplayer service from Games for Windows - LIVE to Steamworks[2], and also tweaked some interface elements and replay system.[3]

Ultra Street Fighter IV is the fourth and final variant of the game, released on August 7, 2014, and existing owners of SSF4AE need to purchase an edition upgrade package to access its new content. Confusingly, the Steam SKU was renamed to this version for all users.[4] This edition includes a final set of 5 additional characters, 6 stages ported from Street Fighter X Tekken, new mechanics (Ultra Combo Double, Red Focus Attack and Delayed Standing), the Elimination game mode, the ability to join other players online in Training mode, and an edition selection mechanic which allows the selection of characters as they were balanced in prior editions of the game.

Game not detecting controller

  • Alt+Tab out of the game and return.

Dependency installation at each launch

Steam version may try to install dependencies that are already installed.
Edit the registry[citation needed]
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\45760.
  2. If any of the directx, vcredist or gfwl values are missing, add a string with that missing name, and set it with a decimal value of 1.

Frame rate and online sync issues

Change frame rate options[10]

The game runs best when using the 'Fixed' frame rate option under 'Graphics Settings' and disabled VSync. This also fixes some potential online desynchronization issues. Using the 'Smooth' frame rate option can lead to malfunctioning attacks. The game was designed to be run at a constant 60 FPS so anything other than a fixed frame rate can cause issues. If tearing occurs, enable VSync either through the game or the graphics card's control panel, but this adds a minor delay in input, albeit not noticeable to most players.
