When the beta was going on for consoles, we'd hit up whoever we wanted to play and search until we found them. Took a while sometimes, but hey, it's a workaround lol.
@Lokheit and I tried to do that and get matched but we didn't get it. But I ran into @Sharp while waiting and we played a good set so it wasn't lost time.

Tried that today with one person, for like 40 minutes we couldn't find each other, thats a bit annoying but it is what it is.

I had a chance to meet @Braindead online. We had some good games, despite the fact that both of us were rusty. Still - I enjoyed it a lot because connection was fking great. Really felt as if I was playing in offline mode.

Yeah, it's hit or miss...I've found people in like 3 tries, and others it took like 15 minutes lmfao.

I don't know who's who with those Steam nicks, but how will I know who's who there?

You'll just have to body people indiscriminately for now.
Unfortunately, yep. I'll wait till this gets officially released, so that I can finally play with you guys. I'm getting used with my PS3 controller here, but I hope they do an official support for PS4 controllers.

About to go back in. My PC is wireless and my pings were as good or better the few matches I played than what I usually get wired on PS4. I had to make sure my WiFi was running well before using it, but everything was steady and maybe more so than what I tend to get on PS4. Hard to say until I get more matches.

Just wanted to point out, this thread got to page 100 and it reads a story of first uncertainty and confussion (no PC mention with KP2 trailer and other stuff), followed by agony and fury (confirmation), then fight (rise in arms with the online petitions also on a separate threads and multiple debates), signs of hope (Ed starts mentioning PC stuff) and almost 20 pages now of joy in less than a week because so many people can play this wonderful game again. What an emotional rollercoaster guys!

Trying to keep up with this thread yesterday on my phone was not easy. Pretty sure I would have gotten a lot more done at work had I left my phone at home.

Ok, so how long is it taking people (US) to find matches?

It feels like it's taking quite awhile. One guy was letting me beat on him, but the connection was a bit chunky and I wanted to play with settings in case it was me. Now I can't find anyone.

Well, there was one guy but that was short lived. The connection was good though.

the online is flawless for me..ports forwarded perfect FPS and i haven't had to search outside of same region other than a couple times...and those few times the lag was fine and not a problem even still

early today and yesterday it was almost 0 wait time and now it takes me quite a while to find an opponent and they are usually 130+ ping for some reason. The good connections are flawless though.

I get a lot of "Joining Match" and then it moves on stuff. I get that's somewhat normal and happens on PS4 too, but it seems like it's happening a lot more here. I don't know what that sort of thing is about, but I imagine it's checking the ping and stability or something.

I gave up for awhile, partly because it was too hard to find anyone, and because I started feeling bad that everyone I met was really, really green.

If I had a 25+ft LAN cable I would give that a try and see if it helps anything, but I don't these days. It also doesn't look like it's me when I run repeated speed and jitter tests. The connection seems pretty stable and quick, and when I get a good connection with someone it seems fine. When it works if feels as good or better than most of my PS4 wired connections which was unexpected. It would be better to just wire up but that's a little unrealistic a thing to try for a few day beta, and I suspect I'm not the major issue even if I'm not optimal.

What I really, really, REALLY want to know though is how a guy can be level 8 with no wins and no losses in a beta that only allows you to play matches that would give you wins and losses.

do you have the necessary ports forwarded? it's pretty simple to forward the ports on your router and it in my experience makes a big difference

Well you're a lone wolf. The rest of us are sheep.
He has a point tho, NRS treated us worse than dirt. They dropped support to our port without as much as an apology or reassurance that mkxl and ggpo will come to pc eventually. They chose to ignore the outrage instead of coming out honest with the problem and when will it get fixed. If you continue to support them with your wallet after that then you deserve this kind of treatment over and over again, only next time you don't get to complain about it no more.

I think everyone here knows better that to get all super excited right now, but we're only humans and we're gonna do just that. Bottom line is we gotta keep being a lil bit restrained about MKXL till we get the actual release BUT that doesn't mean we can't give props where props is due for the quality netcode that the beta has.
I honestly don't wanna see more disappointment over this game, we've had enough of that around here.

The smart stuff!
I wish I could re-map my keyboard controls. Well, since there is no such option I'll have to wait till it goes live. No way I find time to re-learn controls now.
Also, good move there as I find it hard not to support Qloc's hard work in the first place (local patriotism mby ;) ).

I understand. I'm not going to buy KP2 but that's mainly because I'm not interested in the characters. Even though I bought KP1 and most of the chars weren't interesting to be, but you know, we liked NRS back then and wanted to support them lol.

However, if Injustice 2 gets released on PC I'm going to buy it. The fact that they saved MKX for us is enough for me to rebuild the old liking i had.
