Capcom has recently released a new patch for Street Fighter 6 Season 2, aiming to address two major issues that have been disrupting the gameplay experience for players. The update, labeled as version 1.0500.002, focuses on resolving crashes in the game's World Tour Mode and improving the matchmaking system in multiplayer matches.

One of the issues that the patch targets revolves around crashes occurring in the game's single-player World Tour Mode. Players venturing through this mode, likely in pursuit of unlocking the playable character Akuma as a Master, have reported encountering sudden crashes while battling against specific non-player characters. These crashes have been both frustrating and disruptive to players, hindering their progress and enjoyment of the game. However, with the new patch, Capcom assures that this problem has been resolved.

The second problem addressed in the update revolves around multiplayer matchmaking, specifically in relation to players of drastically different ranks ending up in matches together. Previously, players who had achieved the prestigious Master Rank (MR) were occasionally being matched with opponents who were significantly lower in skill level. This created a lopsided and frustrating experience for both parties involved. Lower-ranked players were quickly overwhelmed by the higher-skilled opponents, while higher-ranked players stood to gain almost nothing in terms of additional MR points by defeating lower-ranked opponents. Moreover, the higher-ranked players faced the risk of losing a considerable amount of MR points if they were to be defeated. Capcom acknowledges the detrimental impact of this matchmaking disparity and has implemented fixes in the new patch to prevent such uneven matchups.

In a statement addressing these issues, Capcom said, "We've updated #StreetFighter6 to ver. 1.0500.002, which fixes these issues: World Tour - a crash which could occur when battling an NPC, and Fighting Ground - an issue which could cause players with vastly different MRs to be matched together under certain conditions."

It's important to note that while the update aims to rectify the matchmaking imbalance, Capcom clarifies that the feature where search parameters are widened during matchmaking is still intact. This means that the fix does not guarantee a small MR gap for every match.
