The OFFICIAL Other Ocean / NRS MKAK issues thread (video encouraged!)

Despite all that has been listed, there are 2 things that I have noticed that need a certain fix. And I hope I'm not alone here...

-- First, I don't know if the same can be said for MK1 and MKII, but the contrast and brightness levels in UMK3 need to be turned down. Everything just looks so bright and washed out (especially the dark/blacker colors are a faded white). After noticing this, I played the early XB360 release of UMK3 and you can definitely tell a difference.

I have an idea-- If someone with a PS3 (with both MKII and MKAK) could present a side-by-side photo (or video) comparison regarding this issue, then that would be great. Same for someone with an XB360 with both UMK3 and MKAK. I would do it myself, but I don't have a camera that would suit well.

I agree with you. I downloaded the trial and the contrast/brightness between the 2 UMK3 versions (I own the earlier standalone UMK3) is definitely different. I personally like it a bit more washed out because I could see some details but I think that is because my projection TV is on its way out.

I'm also ready to email someone with an issue list.

-brightness different (can't say positive/negative)
-sounds cut off
-control slightly sluggish
-fatalities easier to input (just tried scorpion and kabal in UMK3) but could with ease pull them off in this version (this isn't a bug for me... i hope they don't 'fix' it)
 
^ Thank you two for seeing the difference that is killing me between MKAK and the first release of UMK3. I felt all alone for a bit there...
 
I agree with the issues that were previously posted. I must say I did still enjoy playing the game, however, it is not as complete as the MAME versions.

Is anyone else having a hard time throwing an oppenent in MK1? I don't know if it is just me, but I can not get it to work. It works fine in MK2 and UMK3 ... but I get no response from MK1.
 
The brightness issue is really noticeable on the Wasteland stage of MK2. It's so washed out at times it almost looks like it's winter in the Outworld.

You're only all alone if you believe this. Apparently I wasted my time with you. I here never said there wasn't a difference.. period. Go back and read my posts with a non-biased mind and you will see this. I know, I'm asking the impossible.
 
I can konfirm that every kombat kode except for Galaga's works. Also is it just me or does the Mercy move not work 100% of the time? Lastly, were there only 4 bios on UMK3's opening demo and did the music stop playing on the opening demo after a while on the original machines? It's been years since I've played MK at an arcade.

Edit: Also the music of Liu Kang's friendship in MKII loops.

My post wasn't directed at you. I'm done responding to you and your aggressive comments that are bordering on personal insults.


Back on topic: One thing I noticed (and this may have been pointed out) was the image shift going from "klassic" to any other filter. The klassic filter cuts off a portion of the right side of the screen, even cutting off text when viewing some bios.

The "cabinet" display isn't correctly shaped. It's a warped "TV Monitor" style on the right side (HDTVs), and isn't symmetrical. Not a game killer, but a minor annoyance.

Also, the lack of fullscreen capability is disappointing.

Aside from that, the major aesthetic issues I've noticed are just washed out colors, and occasional green pixels which I assume are from the emulation, having never seen them before in arcade versions.

I believe the arcade originals stopped the music after cycling through the attract mode about 2 or 3 times. I remember coming across MK arcade machines with no audio until I started a game. For a long time, I thought the attract mode was completely silent.

And the original arcade version of UMK3 only had the bios for Kitana, Scorpion, Jade, and Reptile due to memory limitations that Midway encountered when they upgraded from MK3 to UMK3.

Most of this has been posted but here is my list:
Audio cuts out a lot.
Lots of Lag online.
Seems like when I enter the buttons to a special move its slighty delayed or not counted for.
Colors seem unbalanced or too blury.
Randomly color pixels pop up.
Sounds and music need to be amplififed.
Fix spaming characters. (Example is reptile with acid spit)
Floor sometimes moves when I do a fatality. (Example when I did reptiles fatality on the armory)
Make it so you can pause and look at movelist before match starts. (really bugs me that you cant)
Online needs overall fixing.
Lots of more problems but too lazy to list anymore XD
 
3 weeks later.. and STILL no patch to at least fix the online so it's tolerable. wow.

I also want to re-add that sometimes moves do NOT come out when properly executed but I'm hoping that's a lag issue since the lag is so frickin bad it's like playing on a 4800bps modem from 1989.

Hey bro... dont worry, they are working on a patch to resolve all "known issues". Ed Boon said it himself on Twitter. He said he wants what we want, an ARCADE PERFECT version of MK1, MK2 and UMK3 and that NRS is working with Other Ocean as a combined effort to patch the Fuc*ed up issues! So let them take their time bro, it will be worth it! I definitely don't want to rush them! I want the best version I can get!

:)
 
ok i haven't seen posted here a HUGE bug.
sometime the character don't load the special moves, so you can only use basic moves. it happens for a round, 2 rounds or an entire match!!
 
Okay im going to post EVERY Bug/Glitch i know on MKAK:

MK1:
Goro's lair music cuts off after the start of the theme.
The courtyard monks clap sounds ALOT different than the proper sound the arcade version used to have.
No achievement for completing MK1. (took me 3 trys to get the damn achievement)
Sub zero's ice ball move never registers.

MK2:
The difficulty is MESSED UP on this MK. very easy = very hard
AI is too good for knowing how to counter your moves.
Kombat tomb soundtrack is BADLY out of tune at the start
Living forest soundtrack is out of tune a little. It jumps from one beat to another.
Wasteland soundtrack is out of tune a little. slight jump but not too bad.
Kintaro sometimes freezes and wont move or hit until you attack him.
The soundtrack at the end of the game is BADLY needing fixed.
The colours are needing improved. they are too bright.

UMK3:
This MK is too quiet but the pause menu is LOUD
Smoke won't always turn human when you put in the correct code right before the match.


Thats me being honest. The bugs that get me the most are the MK2 soundtracks. Kombat tomb is a great soundtrack but not in MKAK because its messed up. And UMK3 needs to be louder. and of course the online LAG needs to be online SMOOTH.
 
Mkak is such a broken release with more bugs at the core than a cheapazz crackwh0re. I actually hope NR makes a PR soon stating they are just gonna pull it alltogether and do a proper re-release done right. Imho a patch is not going to fix this mess.

I agree with what you say but we won't find out until they have released the first patch.
