Capcom has warned in their latest blog update that players in "Street Fighter 5" who quit a battle where they know they will lose just to keep a pristine victory record will receive due punishment. The developer is working on a permanent solution for this.
"Yes, we are well aware of the problem of players disconnecting before the match ends to retain their League Points and their win streaks. Thanks to all of the players who have brought this to our attention," Capcom wrote on its website.
These so-called "Street Fighter 5" rage quitters who are "abusing the system" will have no easy way-out as soon as Capcom figures out a way to solve this problem. The developer promises to take direct action and assures that the penalty "will be severe for the worst offenders."
For those who want to stop rage quitters once and for all, Capcom wants players to take note of every incident in which they fall victim to a rage quitter by using the share function or capturing it all on video. As early as next week, Capcom will commence whatever they have planned to solve the issue.
As Capcom deals with the rage quitters rigging the system, it also continues working on eliminating the enduring Matchmaking issues on "Street Fighter 5." The game studio says that the Ranked and Casual modes are now back to normal.
However, Capcom noted that this might not be the case for other "Street Fighter 5" players in Europe, Middle East and other unspecified regions. It, however, managed to reduce the waiting time for majority of users in the said areas.
Capcom guarantees that it won't stop in eliminating these issues so that every "Street Fighter 5" player out there will get to enjoy the fighting game without a hitch.
"Street Fighter 5" was released on Feb. 16.
