What was causing all these issues? Or are we not supposed to know because that’s classified. 
Just curious, it’s been one heck of a ride.

But really…that’s a complicated question with a bit more complex answer. We’ll just say that sometimes some things cause cascading waterfalls that make pinpointing the solution difficult.

A tech friend of mine told me that whenever he heard the words…
related to technology, something went incredibly FUBAR. Guess it goes with gaming, too.

Pretty happy to hear that the patch has solved the issue. Now we can actually recommend the game to people without reservations, just in time too because of the Steam summer sale. Thanks for the hard work James.
I’m also pretty excited to hear that it’s likely we’ll get a patch to address weird combo breaker advantage and probably Rash autodouble glitch, so cool!
Now if only Steam has cross play ranked and the game had a basic lobby code system, the game would be wonderfully playable on every system. I’m still holding out hope for cross play ranked at least, but both of those would be amazing.

Really happy to hear so many good results (including DM’s from people affected). This was a ton of work in code investigating by our Tech Lead Ryan and Tim our producer as well. + all of you providing so many examples, big group effort!
Before celebrating, waiting to hear from our friends in Brazil like @FXLizMk who have had some of the most unwavering problems with these bugs. Finger so crossed they are breaking- let’s go!

Played about 10 ranked games with Shin Hisako and my impressions of the new patch are positive. Finding matches is quick, Shin is always playable, and there have been no crashes. However my first two matches disconnected on the character VS screen, and in general matches were unusually laggy again, but these may not have been the game’s fault. Thanks James!

The only issues I’ve had since this patch were a couple of choppy matches… nothing I couldn’t fight through though. The other was someone disconnected on me right at the start of our second fight. I don’t think it was a matter of him just being worried or anything, since he handed me my ■■■ on a silver platter in the first fight. No idea if he just quit or the game crashed on him.

Nothing related to the topic at hand really, but I just had to say I love that gif you attached to your post 
Shin Hisako is back! Thanks a lot!! 
Good afternoon!
Sorry I am late. I had some setbacks …
I appreciate all the attention I had.
I made this post also motivated by the various complaints I had in the communities on whats and face I have, and reports from friends who also play with me. We did not know what to do, and this was the resource I had to keep my friends playing KI.
Many people solve the problem, but unfortunately not everyone, like me.
I will report the problems that have arisen:
- Connection falls in the lobby above 3 people, and ranking, starting with lag in the second fight of the best of three, or after selecting the characters. Same problem in exhibition mode.
- Invitations to lobby and display are not accepted (error appears in multiplayer mode), including with people who have played normally before. The ability to enter the room through the profile sometimes also does not allow access. To play in lobby mode, I have to create one with 3 vacancies, or look for one with vacancies. Another detail: After five to six disconnects in lobby mode, the game options are gone, which forces you to close and reopen it again.
Yesterday I found PCK Pharroh Yami in the lobby after search, and I see that I ended up being disconnected, just like TDB Drago, in the ranking of the fights, in which I even apologized for the incident. Some people do not understand that the problem is of the game and is not being done intentionally. - Shin Hisako, game day counters and prizes, free character of the week and normal XP, all OK here.
- Other problems of Shadow Labs unchanged.
I’m glad many people have solved the problem and are playing. I have tested all the accounts I have, but all are the same in the results.
I believe in you, because I know you will find the errors for a future correction, and I hope for new results.
A big hug for you @KRAKENJIMMY, and all KI players!

@FXLizMk thanks for the confirmation on what was fixed and more info on MP issues.
Can you please confirm:
- When this was happening did you see Cross-Network option available? And was it turned on.
- What does this exactly mean “the game options are gone, which forces you to close and reopen it again.” what options are gone, what screen, etc. Can you take a screenshot if it happens again?
- You are on KI DE Disk?
I should have mentioned that shadow lab is not part of this patch- but it is important- we are focusing on this right now. I also have that issue, it has not been forgotten!
Thanks for the continued support and providing info! I am really happy at least the other stuff finally is gone for you. Once I get the answers, will pass onto the tech team.

Good night, Jimmy!
Answering your questions:
- Yes the cross-network mode was active. I also ran the test with the option disabled, and did not find any lobbies available. I left a time in a try, and got something around 3 to 4 minutes looking for, then notify that there were no lobbies available.
- The screen that appeared without the game menu was the home screen of multiplayer mode (Fight, Help, Shop and replays). All options disappeared from the screen, leaving only the background animation. This caused me to go back to the start menu on Xbox One (since there were no selectable options in the game, just the animation images), turn off Killer Instinct, and then turn the game back on.
- Yes, I knew the upgrade would only be for lobby and ranking. But I found it necessary to report that there were no changes to Shadow Labs.
- Yes I use physical media, Definitive Edition, and there is the recent update of the game.
I’ll be waiting for news, and I know they take some time to get resolved. It is not easy to deal with so many problems at once.
I thank you very much for your attention, and I am available to help whenever you need it!
A big hug!

Sorry I was going to update this but barely had a chance to play since I was sick. Now that I’m feeling better I’ve been grinding it out a bit. So after the patch, currently everything on my end seems to be in order.
Sadly, I’ve noticed for others it’s been disconnecting before the match starts or during the character select screen. Now I’m not sure if it’s because users are intentionally disconnecting, suffering packet drops that lags them out, or if they’re still getting the glitch. But I’m fine from my end.
