I just got a reply from HVS on facebook.. They made a general post about how they are still working on bugs/performance patches and hope to have them out soon.

I replied to the thread and also messaged them on facebook and surprisingly i got a response within 10 minutes.

I asked them this
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased that you guys are telling us that you are still working on bug/performance patches. But the question i have is when will the PC version receive the content updates that the console versions have received? Certain bug fixes/infinites/broken frame data/etc etc etc have been fixed on console version but still plague the PC version. Are we gonna have to wait until may 5th 1.03 patch to get all this content at once? We have yet to receive 1.02 which consoles have had for a week and a half. A lot of the PC version is not up to date with the current version of MKX. So practicing for offline tournaments on PC can be troublesome since you don't exactly know what has changed and what is the same. Any information would be appreciated. If we are waiting until may 5th for any of these patches i would like to know that information so i can practice accordingly. Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They replied with this:
Hi Shawn, We're still figuring the exact date out, however these updates will be provided around the same time as the Jason patch, perhaps even in the Jason patch. Our goal is release these no later than May 5th, but we can't say for certain if we will have to delay them or not. Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for any headache this has caused.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HVS, all though they have made some terrible ports, seem to be genuine when they say they apologize. This particular response wasn't a copy/paste generic response that we have seen lately and makes me less aggravated at the whole situation. To me it seems like they care more about MKX than they have about previous ports. Whether it's WB breathing down their backs and pushing them to fulfill their contract or their recognition for the shit storm that these problems have caused doesn't matter to me at this point. As long as they are continually improving the port and using their time efficiently to address the important issues while trying to maintain that may 5th release date for 1.03 on PC i am happy.
On the other hand though the way they said "our goal is release these no later than may 5th, but we can't say for certain if we will have to delay them or not." is very disheartening.
If they have to delay the Jason patch than what the fuck did i buy the Kombat Pack for? If i don't get to play Jason on May 5th like the console Kombat Pack owners do then i will.... well i will do what i am doing now and just be sad about it since there it is literally out of my hands. Demanding a refund or boycotting HVS aren't even options. My patience is wearing thin and the only thing that is left to do is cross my fingers and wait.

At least it only took them 8 minutes and 24 seconds to respond which was very surprising.

@Monox1d3 Just to comment on your rants, I'm not sure if you read my breakdown of the relationship between NetherRealm Studios, High Voltage Software, and Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment several posts back, but WBIE is the company that's responsible for the support of the project.

i did actually read your previous post on the matter and understand how it works fully. Thanks though you have probably helped a lot of people who read this thread to understand the business relationship between WB NRS and HVS. Also you didn't tag me correctly i don't have the number 3 in my name ... i'm number 1 not 13 ;) monox1de.... just one number... number 1... me... :)

Ah, good stuff and my apologies for tagging you incorrectly!

And yes, I do agree with you that HVS does want to improve their product and that they do seem to care. I'm honestly not surprised they're supporting Mortal Kombat X better than their last two NRS ports simply because the game came out on launch day with the current gen console versions. The last two games were two years and one year after launch respectively, so WBIE wouldn't want to invest more in extra patching and such since the game, at that point, was mainly "done."

For the console patch and getting the PC version to the same, I always expected that at this point to come with Jason as they're more prioritizing making the base game actually work for everyone first. That makes sense as the bulk of the consumers are casuals and not tournament players.

They're comment about possibly delaying it is something to basically cover themselves. If the update will be dependent on another update that gets delayed, or if in testing they find it breaks the PC version and need longer to fix it, they will. While it's a shame to have to wait, it's better they release it when they're confident it'll work, as opposed to borking the PC version further by rushing.

I've frequently had a problem when watching back replays where it will stop dead and display a message along the lines of "The Playback data does not agree" which is frighteningly sentient.

The game for me has been fully playable, performance wise, including relatively lag-free online fights, but the constant dropping servers, vanishing towers and occasional crashes between fights are really frustrating.
This feels like a product that will never be fully working for *everybody* as patches have a habit of creating new issues for some whilst fixing previous issues for others.

Still, fingers crossed.

The list of fixes seem extensive this time compared to last time. 15gigs with patch notes that say *fixed shaders* and that's it is kinda fishy but this time around there is quite the list of fixes it would seem.... nothing to do but cross fingers while it downloads.

Has anyone finished the update yet?

PC player here also, simply because I don't have an ps4 or xbox one yet nor can realistically afford one at the minute.

seems like there is a huge patch downloading at the minute, hopefully fixes a few things :)

Feel free to add me anyone if you like for a few games :) ApocalpseeUK

My save game has been ignored (post patch) everything is wiped. May be a coincidence, maybe not.
I've tried using my backup save and that isn't working, it seems.

Restart Steam and when you launch the game again it will probably detect the contradiction between the local game save and the save on the cloud. Choose to overwrite the local data from the cloud.

It happens to me quite often with other games when I interrupt the sync process.

Thanks for the tip bud, but it didn't work. Wont recognise my backup saves either, which is odd.
New patch may render your saves unusable, inc. backups, just a heads up.

(ooi I never once suffered the "lost save" bug previously)

I'm still downloading, however people in forums are saying they've lost all progress/unlocks/etc, and that there are resolution issues at launch post patch.

Edit:

If you've backed up your saves that should be a temporary workaround.

All three of my backup saves are being ignored.
This usually works, obviously. Anyone have any ideas that I may have missed?

Could be all previous saves are incompatible now.

I know it's off topic, but I don't know what's wrong with my copy, everytime I tried to give challenge tower to my friend it always said error, mind you that he got a copy of the game. my question is

do he have to be online to receive a challenge tower?

and why do my challenge tower list is always empty?

I really want to have Liu Kang's Skins
thanks,,

The patch breaks your saved data and resets it and the old back ups won't work. Also it fucks up the resolution. The walk away animations are hilarious, the loading bar has to completely pause to allow them to walk away and then continue loading. Made me LOL

There is a vsync option which is cool. can't test anything in 1080p since that resolution is fucked for me and cut off by the screen.

Well it was fun when Shinnok was obviously unintentionally unlocked from the get-go. Not so fun now that our saves have been wiped and now we have to play through story mode again if this doesn't get resolved.

Just wanted to say you don't need to send tower challenges to a friend to unlock the skin, you just have to complete a number of those on your own.
