Hey, maybe you should write a book! Thanks for investing so much time and thought into the semi-magazine length response you just posted. I always adore fans! :)

In other words, you know that you are an idiot and that you fail so hard at life that you wont even bother to read Critical's spectacular response?

Thought so
 
It shocks me to see so many people experiencing these problems like myself and neverealm sits back and does nothing. Its outragous that they charge people to play online(kombat pass) and dont have the good grace to make online playable, thats unbelievable that a company would do bussiness like that. Its not the compatability packs I dsyhc 90% of the time before the match starts, no way have 90% of people not got the packs, its the netcode. And even if you do get into a match the button delay makes playing pointless. I play reptile and i cant do shit online i get blown up by people just mashing projectiles. I say neverealm take that money that they got for charging people online and update there netcode with it. I really want to start a petition to get neverealm to act, because the really sad thing is that this game is enjoyable offline its just utter shit online and charging people CHARGING FOR UTTER SHIT is seriously out of order, way you go build your company name neverealm. On a side note neverealm released the MK Arcade collection an oh guess what the online is utter shit and not because of compatability packs cause there aint none but because the netcode is shit. Neverealm - The company thats making a living out of screwing Mortal Kombat fans, bring back midway i say.

Maybe it's your connection. Have you used speedtest? If so, what is your ping?
 
I dont know why people are complaining. I almost NEVER have a problem with online. Yes I have my KoTH matches that occasionally lag out but thats it. From all the complaints Im beggining to think its the connection.
 
Game is so temperamental.

Played a ton last night, little to no problems. Play on another night, and i'll be plagued with desyncs.

Again, lag isn't THAT bad, it's just the damn desyncing that pisses me off.....
 
Do you play on ranked? Some people will literally unplug their internet turn their xbox off or go to the dashboard just to save a loss. Its pathetic
 
Still plenty to be fixed in the game both online and graphics wise. We need an actual patch, not several small fixes.
 
I've pretty much stopped using Sheeva because doing her 2, 1, 2, F1 causes desync.

Barakas 2, 2, 2+1, causes desyncs (for me anyways).

I'm astounded that this due to custom button mapping. I mean the default button layout for this game is retarded. This isn't Street Fighter, it's MK. Punches have always been vertical layout, not horizontal.

Regardless, it's ridiculous that simply choosing to have custom buttons means you run the risk of desyncs online. As this doesn't always happen, I don't know if two players with custom button layouts are safe to play each other, as I would assume the majority just play with the default controls. Last night, I had desyncs galore, all in the middle of combos.

And yes, Desyncs can still occur by simply pressing start on your character icon. It's like the game saves you the trouble of picking an alt, and then desyncing...it just desyncs from the moment you press start.

Desync, Ed Boons ultimate fatality.

Is this guy serious? I got this game with the kombat pass pre ordered cheaper than most games lol.....and i dont have much of a problem online apart from couple of desync but its bearable
 
TWO ****ing nights on the trot, I can't press two buttons in a match without the game crashing.

Seriously NRS, WTF??! ****ing fix this problem! **** the dlc characters/costumes, fix the ****ing desync problems!!!
 
Ya I barly play online anymore. Just wanted to see if anyone has seen any improvments since there recent hot fix..

Ill have my chance to play after work tonight.. And some how fit in ufc 135 Lol
 
Tried playing last night and got f***ing pissed. Couldn't play a single match without a game disconnect.

Then some other nights it's fine.

WTF.

Any suggestions?
 
Custom controls can still trigger desyncs.

I don't know why it doesn't happen all the time.

Maybe a player using custom controls playing someone else with custom controls triggers it, maybe its customs control players vs default control players that cause it.

It's not as bad as it used to be, but it still happens occasionally.
 
The online doesn't work for me anymore

Hi, I have MK9 for PS3. I haven't played in months, and back then it worked fine. Now every time I try to challenge someone available (with the solid green circle) in any room, it says sending challenge, and then immediately says unavailable. It won't even find opponents on ranked or player match searches. Does anyone know why this is happening? I did notice in the Playstation store there is no compatibility pack 4 available, which should be used for players who don't have Freddy. There are only 3 compatibility packs available (for Skarlett, Kenshi, and Rain), which I all have. But no compatibility pack for Freddy. Could that be the reason why it can't challenge players? Does anyone know why there is no compatibility pack 4 available? I would assume PS3 players aren't forced to buy Freddy if they don't want to, so idk why there is no compatibility pack 4 available.

If anyone can let me know what could be the problem in why the online doesn't work for me anymore, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
freddy pack is mandatory for everyone. it came with the update. you might be using wifi or using a slow connection and it takes longer to sync up so you may be timing out. ethernet is the way to go my friend. its stable and amazing

Oh, the compatibility pack 4 came with one of the updates? That's weird how the other 3 didn't come with updates too. I noticed that XBL has the compatibility pack 4 to download, yet the PSN doesn't. But if it came with an update, then it should be fine.

As for my connection, I do use ethernet, though my connection is 1.5mbps. It's the fastest internet in my neighborhood, but it's always fine for online gaming and I get no lag. It was always fine in the past playing MK9, so I doubt that is the reason. There is no good reason why it should stop working now on the same connection that worked fine months ago. Maybe one of the patches messed it up for me and I'll never get to play online again. That would suck. If that is the case, then maybe I'll try getting the xbox 360 version and see if that works better. The only character I bought so far is Skarlett, so thankfully I didn't buy the rest if this game isn't gonna work online anymore. It pisses me off how this game isn't working properly. It should be working properly for everyone by now.

Ok, I just tried it now and it's finally working again. Idk why it didn't work before, but maybe it was a glitch or something. I also see that I have Retro Cyber Sub-Zero and Klassic Unmasked Sub-Zero, so that means I have compatibility pack 4. So you were right that it came with an update.
