Mortal Kombat Patch Incoming to Address Multiplayer Issues

Lol at all the PSN comments. I assume you did this on purpose Klepek.

I still wonder what multiplayer is even like... damn PSN.

Nerf. Ermac. Nerf. Jung-Lao.

" I just don't get how they messed up the netcode when BB, SF4, SSF4, and MvC3 have all come out within a year or two of each other.

At the very least, I would think the netcode would be worked on better than other fighting games.  Then again, Capcom fucked up MvC3's netcode after making SSF4 so anything can happen.

"

awesome, they have a ton of work ahead of them to fix.

I wonder if by "multiplayer issues" they mean "THE ABILITY TO PLAY ONLINE AT ALL".

Hopefully they do a good job because there is no point in playing online right now.

None. I got it for PS3 :(

I haven't had any issues, aside from occasional lag.  And when I do player matches against my buddies it's been super smooth.

There's been a ton of douchebags playing, though.  But what can you do.

 I've been enjoying the story, ladder and challenge tower modes so much I've barely touched multiplayer. When I did though I didn't encounter any serious problems.  The online matches seemed to be a tad slower then the single player modes, but no big whoop.

 Awesome game, congrats NetherRealms  : )

My 1v1 ranked takes like 5 minutes to find another match and then it's far from smooth during the fighting. Not that impressed. Meanwhile i jump on PC and play TF2 to Seattle and i have sub 20 ping.

"Fixed bug that affected 95% of online players, now you will finally be able to play something besides Scorpion"
"Due to an error, teleport-punch was the only move activated on Smoke. This has been remedied"

Does this fix PSN!

I'd like a patch that prevents this from happening.

  

Exclusively on 360!

King of the Hill has been pretty close to unplayable once you get more then 3 people in a session but otherwise it's been great.

If only Capcom would follow suit.

Nice, hopefully this will mean some better connectivity in Ranked and King of the Hill matches.

I just don't get how they messed up the netcode when BB, SF4, SSF4, and MvC3 have all come out within a year or two of each other.

Awful lag. Nobody had 4 dots. My PS3 is connected through a DMZ. Time to get patching. ...Whenever PSN decides to come back.

What's been your experience online?

thank god!!! it takes forever to get into a KOTH match

Awesome. I wish they'd add some sort of punishment for rage quitters on 1 vs 1 matches, though. People get all angry and quit once the Noob Saibot train starts coming through.

Awesome! Let me turn on my PS3 en get some multiplayer actio... ohhhh... right.

I haven't been able to get online due to PSN being down. 

finally

Damn those XBL players getting the exclusive MP and getting this exclusive patch! Kratos wasn't worth it!

I like it.

EDIT:  What are the odds you bums!!  You just keep on hitting refresh when I got it without trying!! YES!!

As much as folks have blamed consoles for errording the influence of PC games (which, nipping your comments in the bud, clearly isn't true), console players have become accustomed to regular patches.

Mortal Kombat will be on the receiving end of a patch soon, according to a statement released to the official Mortal Kombat boards. News of a patch isn't surprising, considering the patch is meant to address some serious issues players have had with King of the Hill and 1v1 ranked matches.

"Thank you for supporting Mortal Kombat! Due to the overwhelmingly positive reception to the game, Mortal Kombat has millions of online matches being initiated worldwide every day, and we have run into some unanticipated technical issues. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are aware of the issues with the online gameplay – specifically with 'King of the Hill' and Ranked 1 v. 1 matches - and we want to assure our fans that we are focused on resolving online issues ASAP.
