Getting Desyncs on almost every match after the patch

[Vassago187]

As soon as the charachters are chosen and the match finishes loading I get a desync on almost every match. Joined a KoH match and the same thing happened to the other guys playing. This happening to anyone else?

Ok one really big important question - does restarting the console fix the problem? I uploaded a video of MK9 refusing games (the session unavailable bug) and when stuff like this happens I try to see if the two are related. This has happened to me too, but it usually goes away by the next match.

Here's the vid of the other bug I'm talking about:

Restart does not fix this problem. It's pretty much at the beginning of every match. I get a fight after about 10 tries but it's a guaranteed desync within 5-10 matches.

You may have to erase your save data - If you can, erase everything BUT the progression data (e.g. story mode, challenge tower progress) because this contains the unlockable characters. If that doesn't fix it... well in all honesty I probably still wouldn't delete the progression data.

This happen to me once but afterwards it was smooth. the damn green balls do their job now .

damn, i wish it was only once. I get em at the beginning of 9/10 rounds.

This isn't offical info or anything but
one thing to try and reduce the problem is to go and delete your preorder costumes or classic outfit dlc pack (you can redownload them later after a fix is out) and redownload the patch. This should let you connect to someone else who has done the same thing.
Don't delete your profile or saved data tho...

I was reading around and a few of the boards were saying it happens when some users try to use an alternate costume. The last games I played tonight neither me or my opponent used any alternates and I didn't have a single desync. Very odd.

I can confirm that. I don't know why its happening to a couple of people. I haven't deleted anything yet. But, I did find it suspicious that the DLC I had before the patch for alternate costumes froze my PS3 completely. Everything after the patch I also been getting desynced and "kicked out." I gave up on the game.. I usually just get 1 or 2 games then I disconnect. It can't be my isp either cause I played other games online and it runs smoothly. I'm also wired. KoH lags too.

 

[Vassago187]

I havne't tried deleting that yet. I wanted to try the alternates select first. Got a few games in then had to run. I'll try it tonight and see what happens.

You guys should probably try this. Or have you already?

OK. There was no instructions where to find the damn thing. So I assumed it was called, "Downloaded game data." The rest were profile data and global settings data. I deleted "downloaded game data" and it still freezes upon choosing dlc costumes. Connection seemed smoother as I had more games to to play without getting disconnected. However, KoH still is horrible to play on. And choosing dlc is no longer an option unless I want to get disconnected that very second. Even people on MK chat complain about it. And wondering where kratos went.. HORRIBLE! Common netherrealm.. did they even test out their own patch?

Im sure this is more or less more of a problem with the recent changes in the PS network, just because im sure they started to write the patch on the old PSN and im assuming that some of the recent changes may reroute things in paths previously not anticipated.

Desynching a lot for me, either that or just straight up freezing at the Shao Kahn screen when loading. (on XBL)

Since your on XBL aswell

Have you had any problems selecting Nightwolf online?? It will not let me pick him for if I try it ends the game.

About the topic:

I get Desychronized about 70% or the matches i try to play. I also have noticed that Like noted above I cannot pick Nightwolf online and My Scorpion and Kitana Classic Costumes are missing despite redownloading them, I have tried to post in Chat rooms online Not to use the Skins but its pointless for no one listens lol. In King of the Hill i have had multiple times where when the match starts it will immediately end giving the win to the already standing King <- Happen to anyone else?

 

[Vassago187]

on PSN it at least let's me choose nightwolf. I still get desyncs if anyone tries to use an alt costume. im not completely sure everyone I played last night had the compat pack though so that might have been the problem.

The desyncs on XBOX should be gone if both players playing have the updated compatibility packs with sektor and cyrax that were posted yesterday afternoon. All the alt costumes not appearing and causing crashes should be fixed after that.

A fix for PS3 users will be available some time next week. Currently if neither players use any alt costumes online on ps3 it should greatly reduce their desyncs.
