Just an FYI while I agree cross play would be great.
MKXL PC beta currently finds matches faster than KI and SF5 with cross play enabled. And believe me I own both SF5 and KI
Yes I agree cross play would be fantastic but given how popular MKXL actually is “It is the best selling Fighting Game on the planet and by a massive number compared to the competition”, I have been finding people in seconds. And this is just the MKXL BETA most people don’t even know this exist, most don’t even have an internet connection fast enough to download this in time
And just think I am currently finding matches faster than KI WITH Cross Play enabled? so would cross play be great yes? is it absolutely needed? nope.
People trusted NRS once and they abandoned them.
Now they’re trying to win them back with something that should’ve been in since vanilla? I can’t imagine the PC side having a large player base.
Good on NRS for trying but the damage is done already. Kind of hard to trust them.
Its probably a big player base right now because there is only one mode, RANKED? would having casual split the player pool?
Even then this does not explain why it is I can find matches so quickly and 99% of all matches have ZERO lag and plays like offline
MKXL is popular people know its GGPO netcode this game sold something like 5 million copies making it the biggest selling Fighting Game in the world.
The word is out, QLOC logo is in the intro for MKXL PC. That is all a PC Gamer needs to know if you ask me. Besides MKX is done, they are focusing on Injustice 2 now, there won’t be anymore content for MKX ever again.
So what do PC gamers have to lose? they have the identical console version
Offcourse there is NOWAY I am going to buy injustice 2 because I expect the same thing to happen again, WB has not regained my trust at all not even close. But for MKXL? its a done game and the Free beta is flawless what more could I want anyways?
well i have great gaming PC. PC is everything for me i do rather over Console. When i try to play online Xbox App cant get Teredo Adress. I did everything to fix it. Doesnt help anyway i hope Ki sells on Steam so i can play without any issue. Well we know Quantum Break on steam.
Windows 10 gaming is horribly broken, I actually got a 3 week ban on this forum for saying that BTW. I cannot even send my friend a steam request to “watch my broadcast” of KI live stream because well KI is not on steam.
Even worse I can’t use my Nvidia Shadowplay GPU to stream KI on my twitch because guess what? it don’t work on Windows 10 games. So that defeats the whole purpose of owning a Nvidia GPU one can hope KI comes to Steam
I think it will come, because the data has shown only 2% of total game sales happen on Windows store. 98% happen on Steam and for good reasons.
The only thing you can do is to reinstall windows well actually you will do a “reset” on windows 10 and that might fix this issue.
Beyond that the only thing you can do is buy a Xbox One. KI is NOT a great PC port as many often claim yes the performance is great so is the netcode but its one of the most buggy games around. Same issue you have for instance, or me having to disable firewall just to play online or me having to not put on a specific boot for Thunder to avoid KI crashing.
Mind you I own like 100 games over the years and I never had a single game crash on me except Fallout 3 which always had issues with crashing on Windows 7 BTW
Now owning a Xbox one just for KI makes no sense if you ask me just a grand waste of money. Why? because all the best fighters are on PS4 minus KI offcourse.
What I would advise for you since you cannot play KI is don’t play KI. Buy MKXL for PC its a fantastic Port, none of the crappy Teredo and other silly issues you get with KI in Windows 10 and MKXL even supports Dinput and Xinput together out of the box. KI never supported Dinput to this day and I think its obvious by now it never will.
I came to KI because it was the only alternative to MKXL because MKX was broken and abandoned on PC. KI is a really really great game but trust me its no Mortal Kombat and yeah you get to play Predator in MKXL how cool is that?
I will tell you though if Console gaming wasn’t so expensive I would use it over PC anyday. And I tell you this as a PC gamer since 1996
The only issue I have with console is the price its very expensive and you are forced to pay $60 to access online otherwise you have a offline brick. A PC you only need to change a video card once every 7 years and maybe add a stick of ram, every 10 years you can put in a higher core CPU if you don’t already have it.
But these days new CPU is meaningless with only 5% improvement a year
about windows 10 you have great point. I think microsoft developers does not invest to windows 10 Games. To be honest im tekken fan i was about to thinking to buy Tekken 7 on Steam (its in the shop but not buyable) and i saw akuma and i give up.
i love tekken when it was tekken even bought ps2 for Tekken 5 think about rest. Well when i update my pc to windows 10 i saw Ki on Windows Store and i said lets give a shot and i really like that. Personally Xbox is waste of money why should i pay for playing online ? thats not make sense to me. Oh well i would definitly buy Ki DE for PC.
I’m inclined to agree with @Fwufikins , I don’t see a point to this topic when there’s already a dedicated MKXL thread.
@FreewillMeteor1 If you upgraded from an older version of windows to windows 10 the issue may be outdated teredo software. A system restore should fix that. Just back up your stuff, because the auto-backup system restore does is unreliable.
Another great reason for picking up MKXL or Tekken 7 or hell practically any fighter over KI is you don’t have to worry about some immature snotty nose kid always pressing the taunt button I still don’t even see the point of taunting crap in KI. All it does is forces people not to play this game
Would have been such a better game without the taunt trolling.
Note to KI devs, would love an option to disable the stupid taunt. I certainly don’t need some immature snotty nose kid spamming the taunt button when I am just trying to learn your game.
An option in the menu to disable this annoying feature would be really good for new customers like myself
I am SO glad that NRS are FINALLY fixing the PC port.
But… a little too late, imo. It’s 1½ years since the release of the game, and they only fix it now? Just like they fixed the netcode a full year after the release of the game. It’s a bit too slow, imo.
However, I am still super happy that they are doing this! Hopefully this means that any future games coming from them won’t have the same problems.
Here’s the deal; there is an existing thread about MKX, and the conversation about this new update should happen there instead of making a duplicate thread.
Second, using a discussion about MKX as thinly veiled cover for ranting about your opinion about KI isn’t going to be met with much positivity or interest here on the KI forums.
If you prefer other games over KI and don’t like KI, it makes no sense to keep coming here to piss in the soup.
