What's new

Let's talk: MKX on PC

Odd thing is: I've stopped downloading the first 15GB the second it was clear that it gets rid of save data (although stored back up somewhere). After restarting Steam however I haven't received another 15GB patch which supposedly is some kind of roll back. Now I'm a bit panicked and afraid to run the game. I'm too young for shrink visits. :eek:
You don't lose any data if you don't wait for the patch to be fully downloaded and deployed. So no problems there, I've interrupted the DL, restarted Steam, It DL'd some 700 bytes of stuff and after I launched the game everything was fine, saves were kept.

What a train wreck. Outside of these issues is the game optimized well at least? Anywhere near the optimization of GTAV?

nothing has changed man they removed the patch and we re-downloaded the old patch from a week or so ago. The game hasn't received any improvements or fixes for over a week because they removed the new patch that fixes things since it deletes all saved data and breaks more things.

This kind of PC launch always bugs me in terms of reviewers. Every official journalist game review has given MKX high marks on next gen consoles and rightfully so, but how come no one was able to warn us about the PC launch? It's like they just played that shiny new next gen version and called a day.

Exact same problem I had with DA: Inquisition, which had a launch just as bad as MKX where I couldn't even get past the title screen. Yet everyone on next gen console kept raving about how it's totally GOTY. And I'm just sitting there wondering why didn't any of the reviewers tell us the PC version was so bad.

To be honest PC version of DA worked and works almost flawlessly for me. So no real complaints there, minor bug but hey were present on consoles too and the PC version was way better looking one. The last one applies to MK X too but HVS is just so hopelessly terrible at doing MK ports... It's pretty obvious that they wanted the least amount of money for the port from WB (that's why WB sticked with them) but unfortunately it is showed in port quality (or lack of it).

Hey can some super kind soul upload the save file to dropbox and share it? Though I have a feeling its tied to your account and not possible but it could be worth a shot. I'm just not in the mood to go through storymode

I lost everything with all the bullshit today. Unless HVS/NRS find a way to reinstate all my progress, especially all the alternate skins like Revenant, story, Empress etc... I'm pretty much done with the game. There is no way in hell I'll be going back to grind koins and Revenant skins and all that. What a shit show.

Back up this folder:
Steam > userdata > "number" > 307780
Just made two back ups, thanks.

So assuming something borks with my save data and I need to restore, simply copy my back up and overwrite the files in the Steam User folder, correct?

Any other steps?

You're one of the lucky ones my friend. Browse any Bioware/DA forum around DA:I launch and you'll see a bunch of us scrambling trying to figure out why the framerate is complete shit or why the sound is horribly out of sync. Have yet to beat it to this day because I was so riffed at launch.
 
-rename default rooms eu west/east north america south america russia without players have to do it !!
-keep the regionlock free rooms but add regionlock for ranked matches
-increase performence (make the game able to run over 1600 pixels without it getting unplayable
-make sort players after ping the standard option for online rooms !!!! it always forget the setting and i have to press 7 times r1 to get the people sorted after ping after every opponent i played.
-add an elo value for ranked matches , and reset the ranked stats every 3/4 year after a season and throw people in leagues , like league of legends kinda loved it
-textures on low settings looks buged
-had several issiue with team ranked , somehow the game ended after a round when i won the match (had to wait long to get 10 people together ...)
-make ranked games best of 3 (too long waiting time for just 1 match)
-if i invite someone or get invited , one of us will host the game. sadly the game not recognize that it is me, who have the much better internet !!!! so i have to invite him to get enjoyable matches , if he invites me it is fucked up
-make matchmaking for koth and team ranked region locked but not too close !! allow neighbour countrys for small countrys like germany , uk aswell, but not oversea connection with americans
-make private friend games not count in stats when someone always train vs good people it sux to have 100 wins and 400 looses. make it only count in rooms
-Add Modtools !!! we cant import new mashes textures easy to make custom skins always something that wanted people like me have the pc version , alredy in mk9
-maybe make a skin modding contest or map contest , nearly every popular games i love gone this route
(lfd, counterstrike, chivalery, gta, leagie of legends) especially chivalery made lovely contests for skins and maps, the creators got mentioned in the credits by the devs and got prize money

http://tornbanner.com/contest/, it got so much more players after this move !!! also battlefield make a community map now and more

here the problems
http://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php/topic,2675.60.html

someone made custom skins but only very complicated
http://www.mksecrets.net/forums/eng/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=7840

and is it only me who not like how blurry jonnys ghost got animated and how the colored overlay for nimble and jason is done . in my opinion the screen could get darker and the atmosphere change + music, istead of everything getting green or red

hope we get more performence stuff when the version for the old consoles comes out. would love to run the game @60 fps non stop on my 2560 pixels monitor. but everything over 1600 is a huge issiue for the pc port, and there are tvs already with a 4k resolution
 
also found this list on steam

Bug list not fixed yet*
Hello guys!
Here we have an unofficial COMMON bug list not fixed yet.

* Fighters transitions gone after fixes (those transitions after select character, variation and stage. Fighters face off talking things and gestures before loading start. Those animations are great and add personality. Is important and they are already there. Users want it in the game please).
* Crashes caused by a critical memory leak this game has.
* After last patch sometimes the game is minimizing to desktop. We need to execute ALT+F4 to leave from the game.
* PC players stats are bugged like wins/losses, etc. Because of this bug is very hard to get revenant Liu Kang and Kung Lao skins.
* High online input lag. Netcode and matchmaking need some improvement.
* Ping bars not showing to many people for connection check. Grey ping bars or neverending loading.
* PC main menu isn't updated like console (store picture, living tower picture never change).
* After last patch, some players lost their progress. Save game erased.
* Many times we get kicked in online matches with the message "Game Session No Longer Available".
* We need an option to choose UI/subtitles language in the game.
* Krypt Spider Swich Lever Passage lever bug. After first visit if you don't open the door, and exit to the menu, some or all lever will be inactive when you reenter the krypt and you can't pass the door anymore.
* Some gold chests impossible to open in the krypt (the ones that appear for a brief moment of time).
* After losing a match on the Test Your Might tower, and opting to select a new character, the game will lock, not allowing your cursor to move.
* After buttons remapping the movelist not change to reflect the new buttons.
* Gold Scorpion/Cold war skin not showing up even though the code's already been redeemed.
* Button combo 1+2 (for stage interactions) no longer works after 15gb patch on arcade stick.
* Every now and then a character loses the animation sequence for their fatalities. The fatality works and is awarded, but the "dead" character just stands wobbling. The only way to fix this is to restart the game and then that character's fatality works again.
* Kombat Kard - Icon: Noxious IV + 0 per Match Win (as Reptile)
* Lower overall graphics quality after last 15 gb patch (optimizations was quality nerf).
* For some weird reason the resolution option 1980x1920 @60hz is missing.
Instead of that I get two times the option 1920x1080 @59hz.
* In the end of Mileena's tasty treat Fatality, her mask appears on her face again on its own.
(can be seen especially when using kahnum skin and probably the vampiress as well).
* Game does not remember/save DSR resolution settings after being restarted.
* Optimizations needed. Many users are reporting very poor performance with not so bad game rigs and even with low settings.
* Mime Johnny Cage is impossible to unlock in mobile MKX. Also PC to Mobile unlock is bugged.
* Characters voice volume is very very low and muffled even with a very good sound system.
* Nvidia driver online crashes, King of the Hill. Maybe a driver issue. Check this link below.
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/827272/mortal-kombat-x-driver-350-12-keeps-crashing/#4514470
* We need better graphics options to make it even better for those who have a high end computer.
* Ermac levitation move (down, up, up) in Spectral variation is bugged.
If you are playing with an arcade stick or some pads, you can't move while in the air.


*** If I forgot anything, I will update.
*** April 17th we had a huge 15 Gb patch addressing almost nothing of the major issues. Memory leak still there, no animations/transitions, etc.

FIXED
* Deads Woods broke after last 15 gb patch for AMD users.
* Game not appearing on Steam profile. Achievements not able to be browsed.
* Blue Steel Sub-Zero skin isn't on Steam store yet to sell.
* Configure settings on the launcher window isn't working.

In theory, yes. All you should have to do is copy/paste your backup back into its original spot AFTER the new patch is released.
If the new patch is working properly, then everything should be back to normal. But don't ever delete the backup though, just in case. As long as you always have that backup file, then there's always a chance at recovery

When you reboot MK, Steam might tell you there is a confliction between Cloud Save and Local Save, if that happens, choose the option Local Save, as your cloud one may have been wiped in the new-new patch install.
