Incoming Update for Classic Killer Instinct 2 from Code Mystics, going into effect November 20th!

[GamerBlake90]

Good evening, TYM! Are you enjoying the classic KI2 title included with the Season 2 content? If so, it will interest you to know that a content update is coming your way tomorrow, delivered by none other than Code Mystics, the team responsible for bringing you refined versions of the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection (MK1, MK2, and UMK3) as well as the classic KI1 and KI2 titles. This update addresses bugs that have been reported by the KI community, while adding a selection of requested features that are sure to improve your KI2 experience. Take a look at CM's post from the Ultra Combo forums to find out what to look forward to.

Do note: you may experience issues with online matchmaking during the implementation of the update. However, this should subside quickly.

Hi everyone,

We've been paying attention to the feedback, so with the new content update, we've implemented a number of your requests:

• "Signal strength" bar added to character select screen to help you identify fast connections vs. slow ones before you start a match.
• Added two new filter modes in Display Settings (CRT and Raster are now split into CRT 1/2 and Raster 1/2). The new versions are toned down, and more in line with what's been requested.
• When Gargos is unlocked he'll remain unlocked (except in online games where you'll have to unlock him each online match you want to use him)
• Put the countdown timer back in on Ranked Match character select screen
• Ranked matches won't let your opponent change the game speed to FAST or ULTRA anymore
• The CPU no longer blocks certain character colours in training mode
• Moved chat to a different CPU core, so that it doesn't impact netcode
• We've added some code that will help us check your connection if you experience netcode problems
• Up+View will now activate random character selection on a Fight Stick too
• Some error messaging has been tweaked
• Some bug fixes related to uncommon problems entering/exiting online matches
• The brief stall in no mercy has been fixed

This Content Update will go live on November 20th. Unfortunately, until the update is mandatory, there may be some problems matchmaking between 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the game, but that should pass after the first six hours of the update.

Cool! I haven't play KI2 in a bit, but I would get back on to experience these changes. I really wasn't even thinking they would support this game after release. Cool to know they will continue to keep it coming.

"the team responsible for bringing you refined versions of the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection". The MK Arcade Kollection ports were horrible overall, half of the sound effects in the MK1 port weren't even the original sounds, MK2 had an atrocious amount of sound glitches, though the UMK3 seemed on point for the most part. They aren't even close to "Arcade Perfect", honestly in my opinion, they should re-release the Arcade Kollection, fix ALL of the bugs/glitches and also include MK3 and MK4(yes, whether you like MK4 or not, it is part of the Arcade series).
