What's new

Online is barren?

The first few months MK9 was out rooms were nearly full, despite what time it was. Maybe IGAU isnt selling as quickly as MK9 did idk.
I don't think so, even it the sells were bad (which I doubt) it should be easier to find matches, the problem isn't the amount of people is the netcode.

So anyone else has difficulties finding games during evening in europe in ranked or playermatches? Like in evening it really takes upto 5 minutes sometimes to find a game. That can't really be normal or am i the only one who has this problem? Altough rooms seem full so it cant be the problem that there isnt enough ppl online. Maybe nrs secretly made it so that its regionlocked anyway but i can play ppl from usa so...


edit: problem cant be because it looks for the same skill rank cause i get matched up with any rank

I am in the United States and it still takes 5 or more minutes to find a ranked match. :16Bit

In the evenings i don't have trouble finding a ranked match but i do still get matched with the same people over n over. Usually find one within 2-3 minuets.

From my understanding the netcode has improved since MK9, so I don't understand how thats the problem. I've noticed most people having this problem are not located in the U.S.

Well considering 50% or more of the matches I fight are against Batman. They are probably sleeping because Batman only works at night.

Improved from absolute crap is still crap. And believe me it's worse in the US than smaller countries with higher speed networks.

People got tired of facing Deathstroke so they went back to MK9 to battle more Kabal/Cyrax players.. no wait.. Let's just say they moved onto other games and they had their "10 minutes of DC fun".

My point is that MK9's netcode/online play is worse and still had packed lobbies regardless of the hour. Even if the netcode was the exact same the rooms would be packed for IGAU. Instead it's not and has a slightly better netcode. I still don't see how this makes sense, but believe me I know how crappy MK9's netcode is. NRS is far from the best lol.

MK9 had packed lobbies because lobbies were the only way to find games. Ranked actually works in Injustice - it didn't in MK9.

I don't know. Everyone is stating that the Injustice net code is better and that ranked works in Injustice. To be honest... in my case there is literally no difference. Just more of the same. I am not really sure why there aren't as many people online... maybe the casuals are leaving and MK players are going back? I don't know. Just a prediction. :16Bit
 
The thing is that I go to play VF5FS and I find people in ranked every 10 secs and today in 4 hours dedicated to ranked in Injustice I've faced only 50 people (wich many where the same), the matches aren't generally laggy, because for me MK9 was unplayable, but finding opponents is very dificult.

Seems healthy to me. Just had a nice afternoon of 1vs1 player matches, matchmaker never took longer than a minute to find someone. Only had one or two games that were super laggy.

The thing that bothers me most is the waiting time when u play ranked or player match. No way in hell that its normal to wait 5 min for a game.(not that this always happen, but it enough to irritate me) I never had this in any fightinggame i played...

I only ever see two lobbies with people in them and no one accepts challenges so i just end up sitting in the lobby for 20 mins staring at the screen
