That's pretty brutal, the saved game thing. I'm still workin' my way through the krypt just using koins from doin' tower runs. Used to get around 400 koins per fight, now it's like 650 or so. Takes a loooooong ass time.

yeah, i didnt have much unlocked the first time it happened, but when it happened again i had done a ton and already maxed 2 factions. Then when i got reset again ive just been buying the krypt stuff i know i want (kano brutalities) and gambling the rest away since you get stuff from gambling koins that cannot be gotten any other way, but i have been grinding character icons and had 2 factions maxed again. And now apparently I will have to do that all over yet again, its really really annoying. specially because things like the MK1 tower icons are gone forever (or at least until the mk1 tower is premeir again, and according to the locked titles there are quite a few planned premier towers so itll be awhile) and that had been what i was using to make lots of koins.

even with all this, the artistic director or whoever is running the team at HVS should have had talks with WB early on and given an estimate of time and resources that would have easily given them enough time to port and test the game. This is most likely either just WB cutting corners to save money or just HVS having a shitty director.

But that doesn't matter. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what HVS' project lead has to say about the product being ready or not, WBIE is the one who decides if it gets launched or not. They may also be pressured by contract obligations of their own.

HVS may have made a bad port, and they have had tried to hide that from WBIE, or they might have been transparent and honest, but WBIE are the ones who decide if it gets released or not in the state it's in.

Another heads up, Once the OLD patch is reimplemented, current save game is still gone, but old save backups now work again.

If you hadn't backed up your save, then its probably gone for good, old patch or new patch :(

So I'll definitely back up, offline, when I get home. Might not touch the game for a day or so.

I've learned to have a lot of patience, and to give people the benefit of the doubt. But this is absolutely inexcusable on the part of HVS. It's so bad that I feel ashamed for recommending this game to my PC friends, because they can't even enjoy the game -- and no one ever wants to feel that way.

High Voltage has a Twitter account, and they aren't even using it to warn people about things like this. I can't speak for NRS, but barring some enormous gaffe on their part that makes this not High Voltage's responsibility, this should probably be the end of the road for them.

The worst part is that it reflects on NetherRealm and Warner Brothers, because no one has any idea who High Voltage Software is. So across the internet, NRS is now being compared to companies like EA Sports -- and it pains me to see that, because I know that NRS is a much more in-tune developer who really cares about their fans. I believe in the people who work there, and it pains me to see them take on the reputation of something they're not.

If the plan was to just not talk about it and hope this is all swept under the rug, that plan needs to change now and this situation needs to be directly addressed before it ruins the game's reputation for some years to come.

"I have never seen such a colossal f**k-up before.

I mean, it's like trying to let out a quiet fart in a crowded elevator, and then you end up sh*tting yourself. That's High Voltage Software right now. They sh*t themselves."

For those who have done nothing at all with the game since before first patch dropped. Just manually backup your save before you do anything else.
For those who DID download the "new" patch and booted the game, your live/cloud save is likely blank now, hopefully you have a backup from pre-patch.

The game itself should now have returned to the same state it was in before the first patch dropped today. Hopefully they'll tweak the save game issue and put the "new-new" patch out again soon.
