If you were playing the pc port i would understand this post... i have the game for ps4 and it runs amazing. I have played a few hundred rounds between koth, versus player and ranked, even is the rooms it is generally lag free. I also play the xb1 version with a few friends at our local game store. Even on the stores 40Mb/s wired, it seems to do just fine. My question to you, is that 52 MB/s wired or wireless?
This seems to be an issue that only people with weak signal strength are having. NRS did great this time around. I keep forgetting though; If it doesn't work, immediately blame the developer for your cheapness in internet selection and refusal to run a wire to your console thats on the other side of the house from your router. "oh, but i have an echo box." STFU and get a wire. It will also help with those "aimbot" uses that keep shooting you on CoD.. (that was also a connection joke)
The true tragedy is I can play USF4 with minimal delay so that I'm not dropping 2 frame links. Half the time I can't even connect 214 xx spear with scorpion online. I haven't seen a single green bar connection to ANYBODY as of yet. There's no reason the PC version should be that much worse.
Are you playing pc? You can ignore the ping bar. I have had worse games in some green connections than red. It is ping, not connection strength. I have played north of 400 games online. I can count on one hand the number of them that were unplayable. try doing 214 teleport 21 spear. I would bet it is just a timing issue on doing a launcher into a spear instead of canceling into a spear
That's what I meant.. and I can agree the connection bars are pretty much garbage as an indicator. Most of them never show anything at all. 214 spear will never connect. I would just like to play any game without sudden lag spikes. PC isn't filtered by region is it?
I dont know actually. I bought the pc version from cdkeys for $20 just to play with a few steam friends. The game looks amazing. Much better graphics. but you wont play online without shooting yourself in the foot to relieve the pain... Ps4 is what i play on. But again i have played on my friend who owns a local game shops xbox online with a 40Mb/s wired connection and it played just fine. I dont think we hit a bad game all night. This game was made for and boasted for console game play. The pc port (in the perfect world games would be pc ported to console right?) is the inferior online experience until they fix it. Which they will. It was never their target audience. Gamestop didnt even have them available for pc at the midnight launch and for that i am thankful because i would be here agreeing with you if that were the original copy that i bought, i would never have wasted the money on a console version
Thing is not everyone is educated with how networking works. NRS did very little to improve it and there are other threads and users with the know how to back this up.
I figured "Hey, my PC has over twice the power of a console. Why would I buy a PS4 when this PC here is faster than it? No way they can **** this up." Unfortunately, I was wrong. I haven't been able to play on a console yet so I can't compare.
I cant imagine why. I play close to your set up from Florida, with my brother in Washington who admits he is using 60/10 wired and it runs just fine. I played and experienced mk9 online... If we cant agree this is a step in the right direction there is something wrong
I think the netkode handles good connections fine enough. Granted, I would much rather it handle even mediocre connections well so I could comfortably go into ranked matches and know my experience will be good- but I can deal with it by limiting myself to searching for good connections in rooms:
I realize for people in sparsely populated areas, this isn't an option, which is why I do wish the netkode was better.
But yeah, the weakness of MKX's netkode isn't that good connections don't result in good gameplay, it's that it doesn't offer what rollback code does- the ability to make even bad connections perfectly playable.
As of now, I've played around 200 matches unranked, and not a single match of ranked, and that's how it will stay.
I've never seen that many green bars online. My ping is always 3 bars but out of the 10 you have here on this screen, 1 or 2 of mine would be green, the rest would be yellow, red and unknown.I think the netkode handles good connections fine enough.

I agree with you 100% I only own a ps4 because it was gifted to me from a friend who is no longer with us. My pc blows consoles out of the water, but games that are ported to pc tend to have issues. Look at CoD, They didnt even release pc information before launch, they were selling a port and they knew it... will you make that mistake again? fool me once shame on you, fool me 5 times GFY! - On that note, this is the first MK to launch on pc alongside console. I have to imagine the learning curve for them is real. Mk9 was ported long after the release hype was gone, and being that console mk9 was the worst online experience i have ever felt, one wouldent expect much for a $5 steam bundled game. The Pc MK x is slightly better than console mk9 in terms of online playablity. Ever so slightly, so so slightly. I have a few good games... but like mk9, expect .5-2.5 second delays. This is all fixable. The netcode is not without hope for pc. It might take a month or two but i am willing to bet, if they dont give up on the pc community, that PC will be where console is now in few months.
It's the first game I've ever bought on release day for PC. Fool me once.. I should let others bug test the released game before buying it next time. Hopefully you're right and it gets better. The game itself is awesome. The online portion, not so much.
