Is it normal that 2 or 3 of 5 matches doesnt even start because a pop up says something like the "i dont know what is not available" because 80% of my matches doesnt even start because of that, most of the times it pop ups during character select and loading screen, and a few times during the fight. Is it "normal"? does this happen to everyone?

lol i tried to pull off a kombo and whenever i try to do the first punch (f2) it registers as just 2 its bull.

Can someone answer me this please?
Thanx.
 
Played Online tonight, 4-5 hit combos and spam specials, that's what online play equates to right now especially for KOTH. Did a few private matches with a friend and it's much more tolerable, still can't expect any fineness combos taking place when frames and inputs are playing catch up. You practice in offline mode and all frame data/input timming is changed to hell and back Online.

double check and make sure that your NAT setting is OPEN and not Moderate or Strict.

i've been playing on xbox live since i got the game and i'd say that about 60% of my matches are somewhere between playable and perfect. the other 40% are just ridiculous. i'm talking like, the whole match goes into slow motion and plays at 4 frames per second! it sounds like a lot of you have it much worse than me though :(

Yh anyway my concern is that 60% porcents of the matches get disconneceted during the loading screen or the characters intro. This is what i want to know if its normal, when they disconnect a pop up appears saying that "The game session is no longer available" or something like that, I play with spanish texts set up so im not sure what says in english. Thanx.
 
Lag Issues One Sided?

So there I was playing some good old Mortal Kombat I am getting some pretty decent connection matches. Then I get messaged that I was "laggy as shit", and so later that day I found out I have one green bar in the chat rooms although when I look at it it's full green bar. So I am here to ask if anyone else has experienced this, and also what could I do to fix my "laggy as shit" connection, as so I am told.
 
Re: Lag Issues One Sided?

No, if it lags it lags for both people. If they complain about lag and it wasn't laggy, they are lying.

I normally never lag but when I try to play with BBBLP our connections don't like eachother and we lag like crazy. It's much improved since the patch, but it's still bad.

PS: We need to have another go at battling cyborgs, but with MK3.
 
Re: Lag Issues One Sided?

i've had the same thought for sometime. because sometimes i react to players mistakes almost instantly and he does nothing and sometimes it's like my opponent can read my mind. ofcourse it could all just be a matter of good versus bad player :P

It seems to be one sided almost all the time for me. I'm either kicking ass or getting mine kicked. What makes it annoying is the fact that it's just input lag and nothing else.

Yeah, I haven't seen unplayable full-on lag for a while now. However, input lag and dropped inputs can just murder my gameplan. Earlier tonight in the TRMK room's KOTH, my first two times up against the King the game was dropping my inputs left and right, not to mention there were some serious frame drops as well (game not showing that I'm crouch blocking, but still allowing me to block the low attack). Ugh, absolutely awful when that runs rampant. -_-
 
Re: Lag Issues One Sided?

i think the game will always show your connection at full because it doesnt show how good that players connection is but how good it's compatible to yours you understand?
 
Re: Lag Issues One Sided?

It's all frame rate. I know it is....I feel it in my gut. >.>

The more you or your opponent's connection sucks (or both), the more you're going to lag. The lag comes from dropped frame rates, which means the slower the FPS (frames per second) the more choppy everything becomes to a point where it either looks like everyone is teleporting across the screen, or the game just crashes. (i.e. your connection is lost)

Since everyone shares a connection once they are synced for battle, you'll be able to tell if it's lagging almost immediately. (Somes I can tell on the character selection screen if the connection sucks or not)

For me the connection seems smooth most of the time, but it's like the frame rate drops just enough to where my reaction time is slower, my moves are delayed, or it feels like my inputs don't work properly. I'll be online, suck, go to training mode, everythings smooth, then back to online and its like nothing works properly again. Does anyone even know the fps for Mortal Kombat? (offline)

This cannot be true, and i tell you why. How can it be true, if i had tons of matches, where my Opponent can execute like 18 hit kombos without any problem, but i wasnt able to to a simple Block in time because of 2 seconds delay and massive stuttering? Then i had matches where my opponent actually didnt do anything the whole time and i could exexute all my combos? How do you explain that?

It is more than sure, that someone can have lag, and the other one not or much less. And imho it depends on the Upload of the user, if it lags for the opponent or not, but i am not sure on that. But it is the same crap like in PES or Fifa etc. there ARE matches where someone lags like shit and the other one not as much... its a fact.
 
Re: Lag Issues One Sided?

I stopped playing MK some time ago. The lag is game breaking. I can throw in MvC3 and it runs like a dream. I can have 2 friends playing WoW and Ill play MvC3 and it runs like a dream.

It really bums me out too because Ive loved MK since Lu Kang wore black sweat pants and white shoes...

u want a sad story? i havent even begun a career online because of the damn unplayable lag. ive hopped on a few times and tried to play through a few laggy matches but ive killed this thing off early. i am absolutely not going through this. i hate fighting games but i love mk. if it was right after umk3 it might be different. mk has been trash since then and this is no way to introduce the series back. especially for competitive play.

game developers are like field goal kickers. they only have one small job to get right most of the time. when you fail, you look like a complete ass. look at you now NRS. the street fighters and the tekkens and soul calibers are laughing their asses off at you.

This x100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times.

There was this time I was fighting a pro Jade player who did these fantastic combos and I could not even do a single axe swing with Nightwolf. Seriously, the lag was so bad I couldn't even block in time! Yet my opponent surely fricking nailed that game...
 
Re: Lag Issues One Sided?

Yea there's lag but if u adjust ur self to playing I.e puttin in input half a second early and try reading ahead its super playable. That's just me anyway. :) psn btw
