I’m pretty sure it’s IG fault. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to play any game online. Regarding XLG, we don’t pay it just to play KI. It’s the whole online experience we pay for.

My guess is some sort of update to XBox Live that doesn’t cooperate with the current code in KI. It’s hard to make fixes, etc without breaking backwards compatibility.
That’s my same bet. They haven’t updated KI in so long that it’s conflicting with some Xbox patch.

IG hasn’t worked on the game in any capacity for over a year now. Whether you love them or hate them, anything that happens with KI at this point is solely on the MS team’s side of things.
I mostly just think it’s stupidly unfortunate. KI inexplicably broke in the weeks before last year’s Combo Breaker as well, and I think that episode was super crappy too. It’s the best exposure the game is going to get this year (and last year), and the online utterly crashes just before and after it while interest is high?
So yeah…kind of story of KI’s life. I do think MS should be paying better attention to these things. The game that people paid for shouldn’t just crash entirely without someone saying they’re aware of the problem and it’s being looked at. They at least did that last year…this year was radio silence for almost a week and a half before we heard anything.

Yeah. It’s really lame that Microsoft doesn’t take good care of the game, especially around Combo Breaker. I only hope it doesn’t take like a month to get fixed.
On a different topic, Combo Breaker was not the same without you and your Hisako, man. No one plays that little ghost girl like you. I really missed it.

Haha. Yeah, would absolutely have loved to have been there, but had another holiday trip already planned for that timeframe.
It’s fixed, guys!!

IIRC online issues persisted last year for around two or three months, with the Shin Hisako bug and everything. Hopefully this is the end of it for this year.
Hopefully, we’ll only get a new glitch at Combo Breaker 2020, since it has become somehow a tradition. 
Csn someone please confirm it is fixed in pc, along with the dlc timeouts?
Just wondering, did anyone that plays the Steam version have any issues? I haven’t played the game in months, so I’d not know 
While I am able to get fights, the connections have been trash. My net is fine.
The W10 store version works now, but the dlc timeout persists, I hope they can fix that too.
I play on Xbox one and it’s working just fine.
That’s why I refer to the W10 store version. The console version handshakes just fine, but the w10 store version handshake times out. As a result y don’t have shadow, terror, gold, or mimic skins.
See this post for details and screen shots:
Has anyone playing the Steam version had any issues?
