Support NeoGAF

[Mechazawa]

Yup, it initiated separate 400 meg downloads for me again.

High Voltage/Netherrealm you useless fucks.

 

[Serianox]

Does anyone know why is it forcing to redownload the install packs again?

 

[Head.spawn]

This game reinstalled about 30GB earlier today. Then when I opened Steam again, it did another 30GB. Turned my computer back on a minute ago and it started downloading again...

Uninstalled.

I don't have time for this shit. It's literally redownloading the game over and over and over again.

 

[unknownhero]

I guess I should be thankful my tv went bust so I don't have to deal with this. seriously though, never buying anything from high voltage studios ever again.

How's the new patch working out for everyone?

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

How's the new patch working out for everyone?

I played a few matches with one of my buddies last night. It was ok online. Still not great. But optimization seems to have improved. I'm playing on a GTX 570. Almost everything is maxed out, minus shadows. 1080p as well. Also, what people need to do is set their framerate to fixed. Not smooth or variable.

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

Forgot to mention too. If anyone is having issues with Steam re-downloading the game constantly. You need to disable the Steam Beta client and revert back to the regular client. That seemed to fix the problem for me.

 

[Azax]

lol. This game still not fixed? Waiting for the right moment to buy it.

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

lol. This game still not fixed? Waiting for the right moment to buy it.

Basically, its not complete like the console versions yet. It's still missing a hotfix or two from the console versions. But again, the game's optimization has improved a bit. Not stuck to playing only on training stage anymore. But online is still ass.

 

[xHiryu]

Just picked up the game for $15, is it good to go or better to wait for a few more patches?

 

[Jotamide]

I wonder if everyone who has trouble with this port has taken advantage of Steam's new policies and asked for a refund.

 

[SlickVic]

Those mentioning optimizations above weren't kidding. This is my first time playing in probably a month and framerate seems like a locked 60 now playing single offline fights on my 860M; might try bumping up shadows from high to very high to see if it still holds up.

 

[JBourne]

So High Voltage has apparently gotten kicked off of this. QLOC has taken over.

Maybe more people would be willing to give the PC version a shot now.

 

[Buburibon]

Yet another patch and I still can't play at my native resolution without having to select it every single time I start the game. I'm thinking it's time to uninstall this and forget it ever existed. :-/

 

[Alo81]

Wow, I had no idea about the QLOC switch. That's pretty crazy. I'm real curious to see how Mad Max comes out on PC. WB may be stepping their game up.

 

[Buburibon]

I don't think the switch was ever officially confirmed, and if today's patch is anything to go by, I'd wager QLOC has most definitely not worked on it. Like I said on my previous post, the update failed once again to address basic functionality bugs such as being able to save resolution settings. Furthermore, story mode cutscenes still suffer from black crush, the character select screen "walk-away" animations present on console versions of the game have been removed form the PC version, etc.

the character select screen "walk-away" animations present on console versions of the game have been removed form the PC version, etc.

wtf? but those were already put back in! They're out again?!

 

[Buburibon]

wtf? but those were already put back in! They're out again?!

Yes, they're out, and there are people on the Steam forums that are perfectly okay with it because the animations lengthened load times for them or something like that.

I really wish refunds existed before this game came out.

I mean, most of the time there's no official confirmation on these things.
We know that 21 days ago they created a new branch for the game called daily_qloc with a description "nightly builds", which they promptly renamed to daily_qa1, but steamdb keeps the name in the history. In my mind that doesn't leave a lot of questions on whose working on it now.

As for the things actually fixed and things still broken, the mess HVS left behind is no doubt significant so even good port houses like QLOC are going to have trouble cleaning it up.

Wow have they not fixed this shit yet? The video files themselves are actually fine, the game itself adds the black crush, somehow.

Apparently there was a patch today, need to check it out...but not getting my hopes up :/ Yeah it's awful for them to ignore it, can't see shit in the story sections.

----yep, still.

 

[RM8]

I can't freaking believe they removed the pre-fight animations again. This is both depressing and hilarious, these guys simply couldn't be any more incompetent. No crashes for me, though!

 

[Esque7]

Why does the game zoom in a bit when a fight starts? Everything else is fine like the menus and pre-fight taunts, but as soon as the announcer says "Fight" the game zooms in a bit so the health bars, etc. are off screen.

Isn't this just because default brightness or contrast setting was set too low? I could be wrong on this but I remember reading that. When they ask you what brightness you want on first boot you can set it appropriately, or just edit settings to fix it

Nah.

Tweaking that destroys the normal non-cutscene in-game image and doesn't fix the black crush, just...changes the brightness etc. Just tried it.

 

[M_A_C]

So is this game fixed at all yet? Wondering is its worth a reinstall on Windows 10.

 

[Parsnip]

I played this at 4k without dropping any frames on a 780. Even on Sky Temple. I guess QLOC is putting in work.

 

[scitek]

God damn, writing those change logs has to get tedious.

 

[LegionAgent]

Hey guys, is there any site (a legit one) where you can buy this game cheaper?

Damn dude... You just missed it =/

http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/mortal-kombat-x-bundle/

Game plus characters (minus Predator and tremor) was $20 over the weekend. Maybe see if anyone in BST or maybe on Reddit Gamesale bought more to sell, you could probably pick it up around the $25-30 price point if so.

So after watching some Injustice 2 vids I thought I'd reinstall MKX for the first time in over a year. Thread really needs to be updated with details of last October's patch.

The version I'm playing now is much improved from before. Memory leak has gone, while load times and lag are significantly improved. No crashes so far either.

On the visual side, it looks like they've reduced the black crush during cut scenes, and there seems to be more pop in terms of graphical effects. Bear in mind my experience is coloured somewhat from a change in monitor (1440p IPS v 1080p TN), so I'd be interested to know what others think.

Game is still capped at 60fps though with cut scenes running at 30fps, and graphics options are still very bare bones. FXAA is all you get.
