Street Fighter 6 is the latest entry in the iconic fighting game series, and with the franchise's biggest launch yet, many players are jumping into the game. This may be causing some server issues, with many players experiencing a communication error that stops them from playing.
How to fix the communication error

The issue appears to be an internet connection problem, so the fault can lie on Capcom's servers, or on the player's end. Here are some ways to fix the Street Fighter 6 communication error.
Check the servers
A simple and easy way to make sure the problem isn't occurring on the end of Capcom, is to check the status of the servers. The official Street Fighter Twitter page will quickly update players whenever the servers go down, so check there first.
Reset your network connection
A classic and effective solution to any connectivity issues is to reset the connection. You can either do this by turning your router off and on again, or by resetting the connection on your console or PC.
Check your firewall
An issue that can effect PC users is your firewall blocking the connection. We suggest disabling it and trying to connect again. If it works once the firewall is off, change the allowed apps so that it doesn't block Street Fighter.
