Greetings, Guilty Gear fans!
A new update is available for Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R. This time, a few improvements have been implemented to enhance the offline experience a bit, and some bugfixes for online play.
Last month, the Guilty Gear franchise and its creators Arc System Works have celebrated their 25th and 35th anniversaries respectively.
ASW has opened a special anniversary website, where you can read messages from their staff and vote for your favorite ASW game. You can vote once per day, so I encourage each ASW fan to visit the website daily!
Please find the complete list of improvements and fixes below.
Improvements for offline VS2P and TEAMVS2P

A new "BUTTON SETTINGS" icon is now available at the bottom of the character select screen. Press it to open a minified version of the "BUTTON SETTINGS" menu.
In this new minified "BUTTON SETTINGS" menu, you will also find a new entry named "BUTTON CHECK". Select this entry to access the "BUTTON CHECK" screen, which will help you verify your settings.
In battle, pausing now behaves and looks similar to pausing in Guilty Gear Xrd or Guilty Gear Strive: you need to hold the key for a brief amount of time instead of just pressing it once, with a small gauge indicator at the bottom of the screen. This prevents accidental pauses.
New "AUDIO DEVICE" setting
In "DISPLAY & AUDIO SETTINGS" menu, you will find a new "AUDIO DEVICE" setting. With this setting, you can easily force the game to use your favorite audio device, or tune the behaviour for the default device from Windows sound settings. This setting is saved to the DisplaySettings.cfg file.
I recommend offline tournament organizers to select and save a favorite audio device for the tournament setup (for example, the TV's speakers). Doing so will prevent common tournament issues, such as an official console gamepad stealing the audio feed.
Bugfixes and adjustments for online modes

Spectator Mode has 3 new filters : Ranked Random, Ranked Best Rank, Ranked Best Winstreak. Watch high-level ranked battles in realtime!
During an online battle, illegal characters are now instantly defeated at the beginning of the round.
Fixed a possible leaderboard crash.
Fixed a super rare bug that caused the big Quick Match lobby to have incorrect filters and settings.
Other adjustments and bugfixes

On most hybrid-GPU systems, such as gaming laptops with Nvidia Optimus or AMD's equivalent, the default setting is now the dedicated high-performance GPU.
Optimized the gamepad detection to use less computing ressources.
Fixed a bug in the DirectInput gamepad detection logic that prevented players from replugging the same DirectInput gamepad in a different USB port.
Fixed keyboard players being able to unbind the confirm button.
Reminder: most game settings, such as button settings, are only saved when you're going through the "Saving..." screen. If you want to make sure your settings are saved, go back to the title screen before closing the game.
Thank you for your support.

This update finally brings Matchmaking V2 improvements to the stable branch.
Player Room Improvements

Player Rooms are now much more stable and resilient.
New "Free For All" rotation type that allows multiple matches to take place simultaneously.
Player Rooms using the new "Free For All" rotation can host up to 64 people.
Player Rooms using the "Winner Stays On" rotation can now host up to 8 people (was 6 before).
Player Rooms no longer close when the owner leaves.
You can choose between Accent Core and Accent Core +R when creating a room.
Both AC and AC+R rooms appear in the search results.
New Quick Match

Quick Match is now a single room open to everybody, regardless of game version or ranked/unranked mode.
Ranked players are allowed to match with unranked players. In this case, the match is ranked for both players. Players in Quick Match can disable ranked challenges in room Settings.
AC and AC+R players are together in the new Quick Match. If you challenge someone, you will be playing their preferred version.
New Features and Improvements

Ping limit can be enabled for incoming challenges (Any/300/250/200/(ranked only)150). Opponents with ping above the selected value cannot challenge you.
Added post-match menu with options such as Rematch, Back to Character Select, Back to Single Player and Back to Room. Rematch follows "best of three" rule, but if there are only 2 non-spectator players the room, rematch is unlimited. Post-match menu is disabled for Winner Stays rotation.
Spectator Mode can now be set to automatically connect to battles with highest winrate, highest winstreak, or random. This feature is intended for streamers, tournament organizers, and people who just want to watch battles while eating their ramen.
New Wait Mode allows waiting for a match inside any single player mode: Training, M.O.M., M.O.M. Gold, Classic Survival, Survival, Replay List, Last Replay. While in Wait Mode, selected Input Delay is applied.
Selected character, color group, BGM and stage are retained.
Opponents can be sorted by name, status, ping, win streak, or win ratio.
Icon for currently selected character is displayed before player name.
GGPO input delay can be set to AUTO. The game will automatically pick the recommended value.
Current input delay is shown at the bottom of the screen during the VS interstitial.
Matches can be spectated at any time now. Confirm button engages fast-forward. Cancel button stops the playback and returns to the room.
Players can challenge you while spectating a match (can be disabled in room Settings)
When FPS display is enabled, Rift and Rollback frames are displayed at the top of the screen during battle. Additionally, a performance warning ('!' sign) can be displayed if rollback processing takes much longer than expected, or if the game has to skip frames in order to reach the required 60 FPS. If you see the performance warning often, it indicates that your PC is underperforming or too slow.
During the VS interstitial, connection type is displayed: DIRECT, or RELAY if the connection is going through a Steam relay server.
Improved GGPO synchronization stability and overall netplay performance.
New UI for Replay Select menu (old UI can be restored with -oldreplayui argument)
Other notable changes

Spectators can no longer connect while players are selecting their characters.
Rotation types "Loser Stays" and "Random" are no longer available.
Team VS is no longer available in Network mode.
A new branch, named "Legacy", is now accessible in the "Betas" tab. You can access the old matchmaking with this branch, use it if you need to play Team VS in Network mode. Please note that the old and new matchmaking are not compatible: you will not be able to fight against players who are on the new matchmaking, Also, save data and replay incompatibilities may occur.

New changes compared to previous test:
Matchmaking

Players no longer have to select their character upon entering the room, character selection screen appears as normal. Selected character, color group, BGM and stage are retained. Note: spectators can no longer connect while players are still selecting their characters.
Winner Stays rotation is back. Previous default rotation type that allowed everyone to play at the same time is called Free for All. Winner Stays rooms can now host up to 8 players, Free for All - up to 64. There are no plans to return Loser Stays and Random rotations.
Upon receiving a challenge in Free for All rotation, opponent's battle data is shown with options to accept or decline the challenge.
Wait Mode: MOM and Survival continue with same opponent and HP after returning from a match
Added post-match menu with options such as Rematch, Back to Character Select, Back to Single Player and Back to Room. Rematch follows "best of three" rule, but if there are only 2 non-spectator players the room, rematch is unlimited. Post-match menu is disabled for Winner Stays rotation.
Autospectate Mode has been added. When Autospectate Mode is enabled, the game will start spectating battles automatically without any input. You can set it to spectate battles with highest winrate, or highest winstreak, or just random. This feature is intended for streamers, tournament organisers, and people who just want to watch battles while eating their ramen.
Player Room UI has been changed a bit, it can now show up to 8 people in the main window.
You can now hide the Viewers count.
Ranked Match has been enabled. All of the netcode and matchmaking improvements that were made so far are now available in Ranked Mode. Ranked Mode uses the Player Match -> Quick Match room, so now ranked players are not completely separated. When an unranked player challenges a ranked player or vice versa, the match becomes ranked. Players in Quick Match can disable ranked challenges in Settings.
Bugfixes and improvements:

(GGPO) Fixed possible incorrect character afterimage during highjumps or Dust combos.
(GGPO) Fixed BGM sometimes incorrectly fading when the opponent has low HP.
(GGPO) Rollback state is now ~50% smaller. This should improve netplay performance for most users, when compared to current stable build.
(GGPO) Improved rift correction accuracy for connections with high jitter
(GGPO) Battle intro skip is disabled while rift correction is still in progress
(GGPO) During the VS interstitial, connection type is displayed: DIRECT, or RELAY if the connection is going through a Steam relay server.
(Training mode) Fixed Guard: First, Limited behaving incorrectly, and all Guard types not detecting some projectiles.
(Misc) Fixed borderless window not covering the taskbar after slightly dragging it, which is a normal behaviour in Windows when a borderless app is not exactly covering the whole screen. Now borderless window snaps to the top-left edge of the screen while dragging.
(Misc) Dont horizontally stretch sidebars on ultrawide displays.

Hello GGXXACPR fans, we will soon open the public test branch again to test new changes. We have rewritten Player Rooms in an attempt to fix their stability issues.
The test will start on Friday May 7th 2021 00:00, and remain open until Sunday May 9th 23:59 (CEST).
There will be more rounds of testing after this one, at later dates.
All these changes are still work-in-progress, the UI is not complete yet and some features are missing at the moment.
Please give us feedback regarding the stability of the new rooms and their new UI in the public test reporting forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/348550/discussions/1/
*Please note that Ranked Match has been disabled for this test. Also, some features are not available: Team VS mode, persistent win/loss stats, chat messages, kicking, spectator-only mode, and rotation.
The new features available for testing are listed below:
New Player Quick Match

Player Quick Match is now a single room open to everybody.
You can challenge anyone in the room, or wait for someone to challenge you.
AC and AC+R players are together in the new Player Quick Match. If you challenge someone, you will be playing their preferred version.
New Player Rooms

Player Rooms can host up to 64 people.
Player Rooms do not close when the owner leaves.
You can choose between Accent Core and Accent Core +R before creating the room. (Not final. Please tell us if you think this is an improvement or not.)
Both AC and AC+R rooms now appear in the search results.
New features

You can select a maximum ping for your opponents (Any/300/250/200). Opponents with a ping above the value you selected cannot challenge you.
You can sort your opponents by name, status, ping, win streak, or win ratio
Characters, favorite stage and favorite bgm are now selected before entering a room. You can see everyone’s character in the room. If random stage was selected, it'll be different each match. (Not final)
You can now set your GGPO input delay to AUTO. The game will automatically pick the most recommended value calculated with the opponent’s ping.
Your delay is shown at the bottom of the screen during the VS interstitial.
You can spectate anyone at any time now. You can fast-forward during spectating by pressing the confirm button. You can stop spectating with the cancel button.
If you allow it, players can challenge you while you are spectating a match.
You can now play some singleplayer modes while waiting for a match: Training, M.O.M., M.O.M. Gold, Classic Survival, Survival, Replay List, Last Replay.
The new Player Quick Match and Player Rooms both use a new matchmaking code. We hope that these changes will make Player Rooms reach a satisfying level of stability. Please give us your feedback on the public test reporting forum.
Rift and Rollback frames are displayed at the top of the screen during battle.
Fixes and improvements
Fixed bugs in training mode submenus

Close network training mode submenus when it's time to go back to the Player Room
Don't allow opening multiple extra menus at the same time
Fixes for automatic memory playback in training mode

If the dummy was hit by player's memory playback, reversal memory was played on the player side, not the dummy's side
Automatic playback via State: Memory wasn't working correctly for Dummy vs Dummy or CPU vs Dummy
Reversal action is now executed on clash
Other fixes and improvements

XInput polling performance improved by polling disconnected controllers less often. This probably affects a lot of players who use XBox controllers or Steam controller support.
Optimized controller hotplugging with XInput devices, should fix this issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/348550/discussions/1/3175575850978574319/
Rollback support for blackbeat indicator (Fixes blackbeat indicator displaying incorrect value after rollback).
Fix crash during global Survival score display in Network Rankings
Fix desync due to 25% super state not being reset between matches
Fixed possible desync when battle intro animations are skipped.
Improved GGPO synchronization stability.

Hello Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R players, we have recently pushed a new update to the release version of the game. These changes were already available in the public test branch, now you don’t need to switch to that branch anymore. The summarized update log is as follows:
Hello Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R players, we have recently pushed a new update to the release version of the game. These changes were already available in the public test branch, now you don’t need to switch to that branch anymore.
The summarized update log is as follows:
Features

New (extensive) training dummy options
Multiple recording slots

Which slot is played can be selected on the pause screen in training mode. 4 slots are available, with the additional playback options of "random" (any filled recording slot), or "rotate" (stepping through the filled recording slots in order)
Added an ability to clear previously recorded memory slot: press select during recording. Slot will be considered empty and will not be used in random/rotate playback.
New "Playback mode" item controls exactly how the dummy executes the recording

The "normal" option functioned as previous
The "autoflip" option corrects for side-switching
The "instant" option skips any idle, walking, and crouching at the beginning of the replay, and executes the first attack, jump, or dash option immediately- including special moves!
New "Stun Resist" item
When turned on, gives you control over whether or not, or how easy, the training dummy is to stun
New "Stun Reset" item
When turned on, resets the training dummy's stun value when they exit hitstun
New State options: "Low attack", and "Memory"

The "low attack" option causes the training dummy to periodically perform a character-specific low attack
The "memory" option causes the training dummy to periodically perform the currently selected recording. If the currently selected recording is random, it plays back a random recording.
State Repeat
"State repeat" allows you to control how often the dummy repeats its various actions
Reversal Action
"Reversal action" allows you to set up several reversal training mode settings:

The "Attack", "Jump", "Dash Back", "Dash Forward", and "Throw" options cause the dummy to immediately perform the respective actions when exiting hitstun or blockstun.
The "memory" option causes the training dummy to play back the currently selected recording. If the currently selected recording is random, it plays back a random recording.
The "random" option selects from all of the above
Reversal Type
New option: Reversal Type. Values: All / Guard / Hit / Wakeup.
Other new options:

New Guard option: "Random"
New "Guard Balance Reset" option, when turned on, immediately resets the dummy's guard balance to 0 after they exit blockstun
New "Auto Psych Burst" option, when turned on, causes the dummy to burst (if it has the meter to do so) on guard, on hit, or randomly
New "Burst Delay" option affects how long the dummy will wait after blocking or hitting before bursting
New "Dead Angle" option, when turned on, causes the dummy to perform a dead angle (if it has the meter to do so) either on guard or randomly
New replay features:

Input display
Option to hide P1/P2/Both usernames
Rewind support
Pause support, with frame by frame view
Take Control option: ability to take over as P1/P2 at any point in the replay
New option added to Controller Settings, Input: Original/Lenient
When using Lenient Input, keyboard and hitbox players will notice an improvement, as fast inputs (<1f) are no longer ignored. Only half-circles are affected by this change. This setting is applied online too!
Other new features

Users can now press Y before entering network mode to run the performance test on their system. The game must perform well on P1 and P2 side for a good netplay experience. If you see a lot of teleporting despite stable ping and low jitter, please run the performance test to make sure the game is performing well on your end.
Performance test results are now a simpler score breakdown
Performance test now offers performance recommendations for systems that don't pass the test
Borderless display mode added, enables users to have better system support for alt-tabbing
Added new credits "GGPO UPDATE" to the Staff Roll Gallery
Bugfixes:

Fix a desync created by the "afterimage" effect used by high jumps (and other attacks such as Potemkin's Judge Gauntlet)
Fix a possible crash when the game is closed
Fix a possible crash on Windows 7 and up when Windows displays a request for admin permissions while GGXXACPR is running full-screen
Fix a possible crash when network errors have resulted in a disconnect from the opponent (instead of crashing, the game now cleanly reports the disconnection).
Fix a possible crash when updating Steam rich presence after returning to a player room
Fixed a crash when the game is closed during dcode download/upload
Fixed a crash when a character is hit on the first frame of training mode
Fixed a couple of crashes related to desync detector messaging
Fixed transparent training mode menu after pressing accept+cancel
Fixed crash for spectator when battlers disconnect at the beginning of match
Fixed crash at startup, if the opening movie was modified or if the OS doesn't provide needed codecs.
Optimizations:

Tweak rift correction algorithm to be more precise, reducing rollbacks
On devices with both integrated and discrete graphics, such as laptops using nVidia's Optimus or similar software, GGXXACPR now requests use of dedicated graphics if the power management enables application-level selection
Desync detection now uses less memory
Tweaks:

Window focus is now managed in a more intuitive fashion when clicking on the GGXXACPR executable's icon in the start bar, when running Windows 10
Some untranslated strings translated
When playing windowed, GGXXACPR is now aware of desktop DPI settings, fixing window size and blurry picture on displays not set to 100% DPI on Windows 7 and up
Entering training mode in a player room now properly gives control to the controller used to enter network mode, instead of only giving control of training mode to the controller bound to player 1
When browsing the list of replays, the list now wraps around when up (or down) is pressed at the top (or bottom) of the list, respectively
-norecording launch argument disables replays recording
Dragging the game's window no longer freezes the game's process
The training mode menu now allows switching between player/enemy options using left/right when the cursor is on any option without left/right choice, such as controller settings, instead of just "resume game"
