    Whatever they're doing appears to be working. Just played online for a little over a solid hour. No desyncs, no lost connections, no lag, all costumes/characters in every match.

    I'm more than a little afraid that this is going to be too little too late. Enough people were burned by the broken state of online play that I don't think fixing it will bring them back. I'm still going to be playing it, but I doubt this game is going to have the lifespan it could have had it not face-planted out of the gate.

    @SoldierG654342: I just sold MK a week ago because of that. I don't know if I'm going to buy it again.

    My beef with the multiplayer is that it doesn't have proper player matching. I still couldn't get a ranked match yesterday. I'm terrible at MK9, but the game doesn't do anything to help me find other people who are as bad as I am. I want to win half my matches. Instead, I get to sit in "0BEGGINERSONLY" and get stomped by people with 540 / 70 records.

    I've found ranked matches a lot easier to get into recently (but before this latest patch).

    I haven't played this game in almost a month, simply because the word is that the online is terrible. The one reason I even checked to see if the patch fixed anything was that NRS releases a new trailer every other week for character dlc, and watching them only reminds me how good this game is.

    If the word now is that online is stable, I finally feel more obligated to care again.

    Exactly my thoughts! I have played about a 150 matches or so, and my record is pretty even, I would love to play it more because I think it's an amazing game, but I can't find opponents that match my skill level. I hate seeing people in those beginner lobbies, who are obviously not beginners since they have won 9/10 of their matches, it's stupid.

    I might be lucky, but ever since the Kenshi dropped, I have had no problems at all.

    Although I do agree that the matchmaking needs to take a cue from MVC3 and allow to be matched up by record.

    I seem to only be able to get into a match in the lobbies.

    a patch eh? I've held onto MK9 with hopes they would fix these issues. Playing for 5 minutes and searching for games for 30 minutes is never fun. I shall give it a go and if it works then I'll be all over the Kenshi/Rain DLC.

    After maybe 3 weeks of not even being able to get a match going online seems to finally be getting better. I've had no problems getting matches and outside of king of the hill things have been running pretty lag free. Now I just wish everyone would get their compatibility packs.
