Discussion MKXL's New Online - Feedback From Those Who Didn't Play The Beta

[THTB]

So...the patch with the new netcode dropped today. While a lot of us got in the closed beta, a lot were still unfortunate and couldn't experience anything until today.

For those players who didn't get in the beta, how you enjoying the experience? Pretty sure I speak for all beta participants in saying that you guys were in for a treat...

I've only played 10 or so games so far, but they've all been good as fuck

 

[Wolverine32]

Amazing! With the exception of one match but it was a problem on my opponents end. Other than that yeah it's amazing.

 

[Ares_Supreme]

I notice no difference but then again i rarely had any issues since they added the option to skip matches with ppl with terrible connections.

A very nice feel. Its interesting to watch the online shenanigans become obsolete and also not having to sacrifice damage for online combos. Loving the character changes also.

Anyone tried KOTH yet? Curious how that's working now.

 

[ThaShiveGeek]

I literally played one match. It was super laggy, so I said fuck it. Started playing SFV again. Plus I can't buy triborg yet. I'll try again when he becomes available.

Damn good. Plays exactly like a typical 1v1, which is already damn good.

My update has been downloading for the past 5 hours so I haven't got to try it yet. I'm super worried because I'm forced to be on wifi for the next couple weeks until we can get some holes drilled. I'm just gonna try stick to UK opponents.

Are the patch notes posted anywhere?

You guys absolutely sure the new GGPO netcode has been implemented? Does this mean the Beta is no longer usable and no further beta testing will be required? I remember the cast where they said that they were shooting to release the new netcode on March 1st but that this might not be the case and the beta may move further beyond that date until they felt it was ready.

Yeah, still a possibility for laggy matches, unfortunately. But trust me, it's way way better than the old netcode lol.

I can confirm for sure this is the new netcode. Experienced a couple instances of rollback in a couple matches, just like the beta. All online option toggles are also in.

This is it.

No patch notes yet, at least that I'm not aware of.

Been playing all day with almost no lag whatsoever. I can't notice any sort of input delay at all and it feels amazing. MKX finally feels like a modern day fighting game online.

 

[Temjiin]

I'm first to criticise when NRS fuck up but after 40 games with @Aizen Taicho I can say it feels pretty good. Frame data seems to mean something online now...

GGs btw brah

 

[MKF30]

The beta was amazing and so is this update.

Props to NRS.

Ok cool I will test it when I get home. I have 3rd world internet and was able to play the beta just fine. If it works for me it should work for everyone.

 

[EdFig81]

Guys I am not a programmer but I imagine when the beta got merged into mkx (like now)we will have issues. It can be who your playing. Just remember those on the beta didn't play noobs those on the beta knew about the beta and how to get in. Now that the beta is merged with everyone. The enhanced online doesn't fix shitty connections.... So just want to say that to those that play 1 game and feel the online sucks.

Also u can still have issues as this was just merged from beta to the retail game. Issues may show up as u know sfv had sever tests and is having issues now. It's life when shit goes live...

 

[PlatypusVortex]

I cant believe it. After years of fighting through lag in nrs games its finally near perfect. I played all last night on the old netcode getting frustrated more throughout the night and this morning i download the update and its like playing a completly different game. Sooo smooth.

 

[HanSolo]

Just hopped on, labbed up my rusty shinnok for a few minutes and hopped in a match. Subzero ragequit halfway through the second match but it feels LOADS better and I haven't even hooked up ethernet yet.(moved the xbox, I usually play on wired connection). Simply amazing. I'm very hyped

I believe they announced in the latest kombat kast that the new online is coming out with KP2. Looks like we got the patch a day early : )

I'm actually not seeing much of a difference. I had only about an average of 1/5 matches in the old netcode be near-unplayable, and this new netcode seems to hover around the consistency of my better matches on the old netcode (granted, that's an average of about 4-6 frames of input delay). I just played a set of matches against a guy who had to be on wifi and it was worse than the normal "bad" match in the old netcode.

 

[juicepouch]

I played a 30ish game set with a tremor player that was a godlike connection, best i've ever had in an NRS title

only 1 of the 40 or so games I played was noticeably laggy and that guy had to have had a terrible connection on his end

The online should be feeling like the top of the line connections in old MKX on a constant basis. Even super laggy matches shouldn't have massive delay...just the slowdown and skips that come with rollback.
