I think the game's trying to take me to a match and it just freezes for me, my friend and I can't get a game in. I'm not pushing anything, it happens whether I'm hosting or joining a room, and against multiple people. We got into a match once, but there was heavy desync on his end (I was controlling his character and the other character was a sandbag he couldn't control. Both characters were at 300% and reportedly the sandbag won.)

please help?

That was just a desync. Restarting the game should fix it.

Protip: Restart after every 1-2 matches, or whenever you're booted to the main menu or "No Contest"

I've been trying, restarting, updating adobe, everything for the past hour. It won't let me play.

Q. I keep desyncing (my match ends early/doesn't match what my foe sees/foe KO's themselves a bunch)! How do I avoid this?

A. There is a bug found in the current patch causing some desyncs and strange behavior (such as the camera not following correctly and players dying multiple times at once, etc) - it's simple to avoid but having one player affected by it will mess the room up for everyone else. To avoid being affected by this bug personally, just stay still in the waiting room. If a match starts while you're attacking, it will bug out, so standing still eliminates this possibility. Also, if the host quits a game and you get kicked to the main menu, I would suggest reopening SSF2 just to be safe.
An update will be coming to address this soon.

Q: I keep getting stuck in the Waiting Room!

A: This means that RTMFP (the technology that SSF2 uses to connect you to opponents) doesn't work with your network's current settings. This is probably going to be super annoying, but if this network is yours, you have to do some router tweaking to get it working.

We're pretty new in the field, so we'll let the dev of the popular RTMFP game "Haxball" explain it best and offer some solutions for you. Just as a warning; this is some advanced stuff we're dealing with here, so if you're not computer savvy, you might want to have someone else that you trust do this for you.
