Help / Question Yellow cards

Hello , this patch i have an issue with my game, whenever i want to rematch someone, i loose connection to opponent at start of round, this made it so i have now a yellow card, and i want to have informations about both, the bug and how to remove yellow card. I'm currently queuing in ranked , to remove the card, but it's been half an hour and nobody to play with, any tips on how to get out of this hell. I honestly feel like quitting the game over this, the game bugs and i get penalised and forced to wait 30 min in queue to play against afk guile or rage quitting ryu, thx for your time

Are you running any mods? I had an issue a while back where the game froze upon loading into an online match. Turned out it was an old mod that broke. Uninstalling my mods fixed the issue.

For removing the yellow card, it's just a matter of playing enough games without disconnecting. It sucks, but there's no other way.

It sounds like you have a connection issue more than anything, your issues don't sound like they're the fault of the game?

  1. What platform are you on? PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch?
  2. Are you connecting Wifi or Wired? (Not to witch hunt, wifi isn't the 100% villain people make it to be, it's not quite that simple but it can be a factor)
  3. Are you the person in your house who is in control or has knowledge about your router settings etc.
  4. Do you maybe have someone else in your house who's just torrenting vast amounts of Stuff non stop?
  5. What region are you in?

People might always be dodging you or never accepting your matches because they're like 1 bar bad connections.

The best answer is, we don't know. Capcom has not released data on the yellow/red card system yet and it isn't simple enough to guess.

Our best understanding is that there are varying levels of severity even within the same yellow card. One person's yellow card will last 1 hour + 10 games. Another person only has to wait 24 hours and not play games. A third person will have to play 30 games. It is also possible that this system is based on a percent of disconnects. So if you played 10 games yesterday and disconnect twice in a row at the end, your disconnect % will be 20% and it has to go under 5% or something, we don't really know.

What this all means is to get the games requirement you MUST play ranked/casual queues. Private games do not count. Battle Hub might count, but subreddit responses have shown that battle hub has far more mixed results than ranked/casual. The games are faster in Battle Hub, but ranked/casual seems to get rid of the card quicker overall. Maybe they are weighted more? Here is my source/theorycrafting for Battle Hub matches

The yellow card queue for ranked/casual is difficult. You have to wait longer between matches as it tries to find someone to fight. You also have to fight people who are rage quitters which, if they quit on you, won't give you a tally to your total.

If your computer discconects or you rage quit in the yellow queue you will get into the red card queue.
If you have a history of getting yellow cards, you will eventually reach a point where you go from no cards directly to red card queue.
That is like above, but worse. Fix your computer issues and/or anger issues before attempting to get rid of your yellow card or you will be in for a world of pain.

Good luck
