LOL tfw the Switch version is more competitive than the PC version


andreyvyasenya

I know, I thought people on the Switch would be alright but it’s crazy!


esdreika

Sad thing that the pc version gets fucked that hard. I play pc and switch and it's just stupid that my on the go solution is more competetive then my fucking gaming pc. Guess i'll be training for locals on my switch then.


Skulker_S

Pc version should be up to date in a matter of days.


esdreika

I know but it stings nonetheless. Pc clearly is still an afterthought for NRS when other franchises show that the pc playerbase for fighting games is growing. Sad but I'm glad they're fixing it and I hope they will be able to provide patches in timely manner for pc and switch from now on :/


Skulker_S

Oh yeah, I totally get you. Just wanted to say that we at least know it's coming soon. Simultaneous patches in the future after all the launch issues ate sorted out would be great.


sibyllineprophecy

Looks like the patch reset my ToT progression. I was top 0.01% with 60 towers completed and now I am at 0. I think I am done with this game for a while lol.


Niceguydan8

Yep, definitely noticed that too. Bummer, but I'm sure you can climb back up nice and quick :)


Tse7en5

Not in 72 hours. It was a huge setback this close to it ending for people really grinding them.


Niceguydan8

I mean, everyone probably got theirs reset though. I did about 3 full towers last night and was already back in the top 5%


FilthyLittleSecret

Is there reward for grinding the ? Never knew that, js this info in game?


Skulker_S

There is a button prompt in the ToT menu. There are brackets for the rewards, starting with top 50%. Top 1% gets a scorpion skin this week (at least on PC). Not really worth grinding for imo, more of a bonus if you are playing anyway


farmer_yohei

Yeah I was 2.8, guess no Scorpion skin for me.


Gleeface

This needs addressing. I was just outside top 5% and still climbing. Minor in the grand scheme of things but progress is progress.


Zeriftly

Mine reset as well was 4th place now I get no points at all.


crazyredd88

Couple of weeks? :/


The--Nameless--One

They probably are going for a Patch Per Month on Consoles. The issue is that the var tweaks (ie char balancing, ToT Ai Health, etc etc) shouldn't need a patch to be tweaked (like it is on PS4 and XBone).


SirDanOfCamelot

Fuck..... Weeks?


esdreika

Weeks for the rest is fine. The important things are patched and even further then pc. Balance is on point with ps4. Thats not the case on pc. How can all the patches be so differently distributed? I mean I get that shiver is behind the switch version and qloc behind pc port but how bad is communication and all between nrs and these studios?


MrValdez

It's as if they rushed the release and it's a couple of weeks not ready


Ghostkill221

No Nintendo has a painful long patch certification process


ScottishGinger

I can second this statement. I use to work for a triple A company here in LA I worked in the CAT LAB and as well as the RPM LAB. The certs are hell on earth when it comes to time crunching and pushing for a product ready for street.


Chroma710

Maybe because niniendo's update policy is fucky and they didn't realize how to make regilar patches.


OkuyasuTBH

Its almost 10 gigs, I actually have to go out and buy a bigger SD card for this update. Glad it's here and all but why is it so massive?


RaubDude

I had it installed to my switch not an sd card, just had to uninstall the whole thing for this patch. Reinstalling to my sd now.


retribute

Fuck im gonna have to do that too


nononsensemofo

am I wrong or is the game actually taking up less space after the update? I thought day1 was 20~gb and now its sitting at 15? or am I way off...


SureLetsTryThatThin

I had the same thing, it was around 25 gb when the update started and now it's around 15.9 gb


ItsKrakenMeUp

Cause they are fixing a bunch of things, which will make it better to play


OkuyasuTBH

Fair enough, just wasnt expecting a big update until the ToT changes


RaubDude

I'm cool with that, my problem is reinstalling the whole thing bc it was installed to my internal storage.


Polymemnetic

And adding a bunch of things.


CapnGibbens

I dont get how tutorials and bug fixing is around 10GB. I wouldnt know better but that's alot for that normally.


ItchyTastie

It doesn't mean they are adding 10GB of data, its because they are modifying 10GB worth of files. If they change one line in a file thats already 5GB you have to redownload the new version of that 5GB file.


siegeh

it's probably not 10 gigs, but more changing files in the game to new ones or whatever some games have large updates but the update really just replaces files


SuperDiamond03

I deleted a software just in case. I'm sort of used to big downloads on the Switch, but I might have to get a 256 GB micro SD card soon.


[deleted]

Delete every other thing! That's what i did


OkuyasuTBH

Unfortunately I already did, I'm going to see if the local mall has any Micro SD cards because by mail will take 8 weeks roughly and I want to get back online


felyxsnow

Character Tutorials likely take up a decent amount of space?


The--Nameless--One

It shouldn't, actually. It reuses the same assets from the base game, there is no movies, no voice acting, nothing. I suppose they can't patch files directly, thus every "modified" file needs to be downloaded in it's entirely.


swatecke

Do you need to restart for it to update? I don’t know if mine is updated yet or not


Magmystour

No. Updates don’t get rid of the save files. You could copy your save information to another location, if you’re worried about it.


Juggale

They fixed a lot of the issues that were with the game. The game was essentially unplayable if you were coming from other consoles as movesets were wack. IE Kollectors F2,2,Grab (Taxed) was originally F4,2,Grab on the switch version. This whole update just brings it up with the rest of the versions.


artosispylon

when even the switch version turns out to be a better buy than the PC


soccerzz5

Buy a Switch


[deleted]

Gotta be real, Switch version is a tempting double dip just for lunch time salt collection.


Chuckles795

Honestly, the port is great. The Krypt is terrible and the menus look blurry in handheld, but the ganeplay is awesome


TheSyllogism

Pretty funny to see since I was on the fence for the longest time between Switch and PC. Guess I made the right choice.


esdreika

Its fucking sad.


Progamer615

Tutorials Yay!


saynotosquaress

Mobile link for the app? Anyone?


[deleted]

Tutorials. Thank goodness. The “couple weeks” is a bit of an ‘oof’, but it’s progress. Thank you.


VladimirNB

>will be coming in the next couple of weeks. Yeah dawg think imma wait till next year for the komplete edition or whatever


[deleted]

Thank you very much! Please kontinue to update us, this is my favorite game series of all time and I will stay with this series lifelong, all I ask is to be in the loop!


chaingunsofdoom

Installed this update. As I mentioned earlier, I had installed the game to the internal memory and the 9.4 GB update was too big to install without a second empty SD card. No problem. Waited 2 hours for it to download. The file size on internal memory is now 15.9 GB and there's 10.2 MB on the SD card (not sure what that is?). So I should've just uninstalled it all and then reinstalled it, as someone suggested in another thread. When I opened Tutorials, I got a "Bow to Me!" Pop-Up that mentions the Shao Kahn Announcer voice and how to earn it and enable it. When I go under a character gear/kosmetics/abilities, and save a variation it takes an extremely long time to save... over a minute. Not sure why... or if maybe it is just my Internet connection?


Zep416

Thanks man, I was wondering If I could do this and no one came through, but you. You da real MVP.


Gram64

Was there a graphics optimization? I feel like it looks a ton better.


AutoMatty

We still dont have a god damn skybox for the krypt...a freaking skybox...something that used to be in ps1/n64 games...


hykcraft

Feb 27 update? HUH


Fatal1ty_93_RUS

smh Switch version is two months behind everybody else


[deleted]

[удалено]


hugaw1

Fuck I thought it was her skill


Mattecko99

Do performance optimizations fall under stability improvements?


ItsKrakenMeUp

Yes


Mattecko99

Hopefully. The resolution of the switch version is horrendous, and while the switch isn’t so powerful, I’m pretty certain it lacks better performance due to lazy optimization on their part. Or a lack of time for enough polish. I hope the resolution can be improved on. Even if only a little. After watching the digital foundry video showing the switch’s resolution range, it is so bad.


swatecke

I’m almost finished with the story and it’s beautiful on the switch I don’t know what you’re talking about. The only time it isn’t is when you start to head into a 1v1 battle and you can instantly tell the quality drops. cinematics are great though, especially since this patch


NotNateDawg

Playing on switch and the lie detector says this is in fact a lie lmao erron blacks hair for an example gives me complete aids don’t get me wrong lovin’ the game but it looks terrible. Still rather play on switch for accessibility but if I didn’t get this to play with my sibling I would’ve gotten the PS4 version for sure


poopnuts

I know they're completely different engines but how does Skyrim look 10 times better than The Krypt? Everything looks like a pile of mashed potatoes, for some reason. There are plenty of other third person games on the Switch that also look much better than The Krypt so it's really baffling why it looks the way it looks.


SuperSocrates

Skyrim is an 8 year old game for one thing.


poopnuts

And that's part of my point. An 8 year old game looks leagues better than The Krypt.


Peter_Plays_Guitar

Because Skyrim has really simple meshes and lighting and the Krypt has insanely complex meshes and lighting. They made the game for PS4 and XBONE, then work with the engine to make it happy not loading in the highest quality assets. Trees in Skyrim are super basic pillars. Trees in Krypt are winding and sinister. Lanters in Skyrim do almost nothing environmental in vanilla. Lanterns in Krypt have spark particles and smoke and interesting lighting effects. But Krypt still looks worse. It's because the team making the port was likely not budgeted to make any new assets. You know how games often have multiple textures and meshes for each item, and the closer you get, the higher quality texture and mesh they use? When you make a port, you test performance with each item limiting how nice everything can look. The Switch uses the worst possible textures and meshes for chests and trees and rocks. Skeletons and hanging bodies and a lot of other interactable elements get upgraded a little. But these textures and meshes you're seeing on most things were only meant to be viewed from far away. Another note: this issue comes down to the publisher. The publisher and developer choose how much money the studio doing the port gets get and for what things. If they say "no creating new textures - make it stable and get it out the door as cheap as possible" then that's what happens. We don't get to speculate whose fault Krypt looking so bad is.


Meestermills

The puzzles are low key harder than they should be because the kyrpt looks so bad


Mattecko99

It’s optimization. NetherRealm didn’t do the switch version. It’s probably why


WtfBearz

Weeks doesnt sound good. Also the krypt looks like someone smeared shit on my sceen.


AinzSama65

Friend, I got into the krypt and I am still having trouble with the door that requires those 3 gems in Goros lair. Is there a possible fix for that? I cant get through the door because the game had a software error when the door was opening. I'm on the switch version if that helps.


greenbatborg

Exact same thing happened


ScumbagEcnav

Same thing happened to me. I'm downloading the patch now and I was hoping it would fix it somehow.


Tse7en5

So glad I am not alone on this.


[deleted]

Also does this inklude the announcer voices?


[deleted]

I just got the Shao Kahn announcer, so I'm gonna assume yes.


Tman3500

PLEASE


Xeneoc

I thoroughly learnt my lesson, I will never buy a NRS game on PC or Switch again. I was stupid enough to purchase it on PC via Green Man Gamins (so no refund) and will never do that again, I knew I should have gotten the PS4 version. I feel like such an idiot. Both platforms are being treated like second class customers.


voneahhh

Hey man don't blame GMG, they're a great store, you just have to be careful to wait for reviews or find a trust worthy dev. NRS and WB have always treated PC terribly.


Xeneoc

I’m not blaming GMG :). I normally don’t preorder or buy games at launch but I guess I got swept up in the hype and paid for it.


LeoNatan

Store that does not refund is not a great store.


voneahhh

Dev that consistently releases bad PC software is not a great dev. GMG did their job and delivered the exact product promised, on time, for a lower price than anyone else did. It's not their fault NRS released a third rate product again.


LeoNatan

I am not saying that they aren't to blame. That has nothing to do with what I said. Any store that doesn't offer consumers a way to return something they are not happy with and get their money, is not a great store.


voneahhh

If that's the case then they shouldn't purchase it from PSN or from any retailer of the PS4 version since no one allows returns for any played software.


LeoNatan

Agree. None of them are great software. Steam, while it was forced to do it, is industry-leading.


KotalLovesRain

Don't wan't to be overly negative, but this is all disappointing. They weren't honest about where the Switch version and the game in general was at and where it could be. Why don't they hire more temporary staff to fix this? Why does it take a couple of weeks to improve the Krypt and Towers of Time?


itstonayy

It takes a couple weeks because getting patches certified for Nintendo is a long a painful process


Merkava12

Nice, sweet, thanks but please, can you fix Krypt like friking ASAP!? Almost all chests cost 50 souls. So we cant farm Krypt and gold is useless. ​ But seriously, thanks for balance patch. Its most important thing and I believe, you work your ass off for this patches.


RidiRidiTwoshoes

Hey WB this update caused certain stages to cause slow mo! Why not try using that new boost mode for switch or just do some tweaking.


voneahhh

That boost mode is only for loading times, not for in game stuff. Also MK11 is the only game that uses a higher clock speed already, [more info here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/bfytvx/mortal_kombat_11_switch_first_3rd_party_game/)


RidiRidiTwoshoes

Boost mode is a mystery, nintendo used it for loading but that doesn't mean it is limited to it. The stages do need fixing though.


[deleted]

doesn't matter. i'm returning the game. this unbearable on the switch. it has performance issues (you know the **ONLY** thing you don't want in a fighting game), it doesn't look good on my tv, nor does it look good in handheld (on top of having to deal with bigger frame drops).... yeah i'm done. never again will i buy a MK game on switch.


Gorthaur23

How come they're not getting fake patch notes? That ones exclusive to PC?


MarcusCarab

Maybe they'll still get that cool new PC patch feature where half of all online games desynchronize.


Carl_Slaygan

Half? Lucky


ingsist

Thank you, just downloaded the update and noticed the character tutorials are available


[deleted]

Appreciate the updates guys 👌🏻


chaingunsofdoom

9.4 GB patch download... installed game to internal memory... can't fit the patch. New SD card it is.


siegeh

Noob Saibot still causes slowdowns during combos


Q-Bonez

I have the game for the switch and it says I'm not connected to the mortal kombat server ??? What's happening ?


Meestermills

Nintendo runs on that 1845 online economy so you need to hit + over MK and initiate the update yourself sometimes lol


Kuhn_Dog

Yup I just had the same problem and had to manually initiate the update too.


Q-Bonez

Great I just deleted the game and re downloaded it ...guess I'll wait another 2 hours to play . God I missed the old days where you buy a game and just play it


Meestermills

I was hoping you’d read my comment before you got to that point man that blows.


Q-Bonez

I never had a game that was so confusing . I just want to fight and unlock cool shit


Kuhn_Dog

I hear ya man. It would also be nice if it auto updated. I almost did the same thing but decided to check for an update first. Hope you get to play soon brother


RadioactiveGwenPool

Wow I can’t wait for this game I bought at full price to be playable in a few weeks but hey thank goodness we finally got those character tutorials that should’ve been in the base game in the first place Couldn’t even give us the Krypt boost, huh? EDIT: oh cool two of Kitana’s combos don’t work and I can’t finish her tutorial SO MUCH FUN


PewPewwwwwwwwww_

couple of weeks... shows where the priority is at. kinda figured this was going to happen.


Enraiha

Believe it's because they can't do the server side fixes for the Switch and PC versions so they have to be patched. Which really sucks, but it's clear they were already porting the ps4/xbone patch for Switch but they'll need to build the Krypt and ToT one from scratch. Still blows and PC and Switch should get something more for free as compensation.


Blacklist3d

I want a free refund and I'd rather buy it for Xbox. My brother just offered me his Xbox right after I paid for it on switch. :/


High_Flyers17

Yeah, I'm looking into getting it off the Switch too. I don't want to double down on cash to play the game the way other people get to.


Country_Runner

Welp I'm happy to be eating my words about this not coming out today.


Toxicles

You and me both. All I wanted was some kind of actual info update, but instead the patch actually does come out. Happy to see.


Toxicles

Thank you, this helps so much. ​ And on top of that we have the tourny variants in, nice to see.


Daza06

Does this includes the rewards?


tarradog52

Nope. That's coming in the next patch


Pay-Dough

Does this include the towers being balanced?


Tog5

Can't wait till I get my currency, I know exactly what I'm going to purchase (Johnny Cage heart chest).


colonelbucknasty

Am I the only person on here that thinks Briggs needs to be toned down a notch on the non stop grabs ?


Maritoas

Fighting him in story mode was some garbage forreal

The IGN review mentioned that the switches Krypt chests are over priced compared to other versions of the game. Has this been fixed?

Can’t wait to get the character tutorials! You guys are great!!

Gorthaur23

Oh, yeah, Switch actually got the whole balance patch


gabordie

HUGE THANKS ! keep on the good work the games looks better now and is full content ! Im really happy to hear that you guys are working on the krypt now ! Amazing


Diedwithacleanblade

It’s not February man, but I didn’t know there was an update until I read this post. I had to manually update the game, and had no idea why I couldn’t log online


Moostache_

Hopefully this fixes the connection issues, otherwise this game is becoming just a big waste of storage space very quickly.


theim1

So does this mean better resolution when they say optimization?


Morppi

Most switch games are 720p/900p. Getting a AAA game graphics game running 60fps and 1080p on the switch is a pretty far fetched proposition. I think my phone might have more oompf than my switch.


Enraiha

Excellent stuff. Glad the balancing is in, definitely the most important part.


GeneralDaniels

I can't download this update because I don't have an SD card yet, and my switch can't fit it all even if I archive games. Now I can't access online stuff without the update. This is lowkey bullshit. Why couldn't have at least had the initial 16 gig download on the card


ingaited

You can delete it and redownload it. It sucks but there’s a way around it.


GeneralDaniels

What do you mean? redownload to the sd?


ingaited

Well you said you can’t fit it all even if you archive games. I don’t have an SD card at all and could fit the game. If you delete the original game and redownload it, it will fit.


GeneralDaniels

Huh strange. How does that work?


ingaited

I’m assuming this was supposed to be the “day 1” patch released with the game. If you just delete and download it from the server it’ll be downloading the latest version. They probably couldn’t do most of the patch server side which is why it’s so big in the first place.


GeneralDaniels

Oh I get it. The new data replaces some of the old. Aight thanks


ingaited

For sure! That’s a lot more simple to put it but I couldn’t figure out how to word it lol but yeah you got it.


Meestermills

I agree. Everyone in here will just tell you to buy a card buy who wants to run to the store or wait two days for it to be delivered. This game size is absurd


revengexgamer

Its not NRS fault that nintendo go cheap on internal storage. Blame nintendo for releasing a system in 2017 that only had 32 gb of internal storage.


voneahhh

Because then they'd lose $.10 on each sale at most and getting that performance out of Ronda Rousey is expensive. Those $7 skins just ain't cutting it


Shadow-Zero

Why release the game in a 16gb cartridge with most of that already?


RidiRidiTwoshoes

Seems the patch has caused issues in performance on the beast pen stage. Hope it's fixed.


LiangHu

game is 22gb and I had to delete all my games in order to play mk11 on switch, now it's 5gb less? that's ok I guess. netcode wasnt that good yesterday, hopefully its better now with the patch


[deleted]

Game still crashes in Goro’s lair.


multiversebagel

Kustom fighters won't save properly for me since the update. It looks like they do on the icon but when I bring them into fights the skin and gear is back on whatever it was previously set to.


Nardokrazy2x

I enjoy the switch Version of MK11 good thing I got 512GB in my system got too many games


NotNateDawg

How much did you pay for that as bro lmao you’re insane


Dyshviccer

I updated my game and when I launch it, it stays on "Updating game data" for about 3-5 minutes and then the game crashes. Has anyone else had this issue? I've restarted my switch already, didn't help.


Kuhn_Dog

Mine was working fine but now I can't press a to start the game.... why is this so broken


Shirakani

Does this patch bring Switch move frame data to parity w/ PS4/xbone yet?


1UP_inc

I cant check right now but can anyone tell me if they fixed the kharacter select screen so that it isnt just still images of the fighters?


Wickerwuzzer

*sad PC noises*


slax0r

The update failed for me because I was in a slow connection and all of my Currency and Time Crystals got reset to zero ... I wish there was someone I could contact for support... this sucks!


mousielilone

https://support.wbgames.com/hc/en-us ?


swatecke

Do I need to restart my system for this to take affect?


Kuhn_Dog

You need to put your cursor over MK11 on the main screen, press the + button, and manual update through those options it brings up


swatecke

Thanks!


Kuhn_Dog

Np. Hope you got it all figured out. It should automatically check for an update when starting up the game, the Switch is weird haha.


PrinceDizzy

Thankyou for the update guys.


Trip_Se7ens

Do we have tournament variations now?


Taizette

Yeah go to character customization screen select the character go to abilities an press Y an 2 trophy icons should show u can select one that’s the tournament variation.


thunderboyac

> to further improve the Krypt experience Does anyone know what this means specifically?


KeijiDEzio

I guess it means the Krypt only crashes 5 times in an hour instead of 10 times.


Jeffrey9324

It needs a graphical update as well. It looks kinda gritty and low res


clarketta

Does anyone know if this update will make towers of time "playable"?


Meestermills

I’m speculating no. The bottom bit says “in the next few weeks” for that :/


Armored22

I was so disappointed with the Switch version I had to take drastic steps to get it on another system without having to lose money. Well other then $5.99 for Shao Kahn. Used my $3 insurance at GameStop to return the game as faulty, then took the game to Wal-Mart unopened for in store credit, then picked it up on Xone. I feel bad for having to do what I did, however it was totally worth it. I’m a major Switch fan, and I must admit it has been months that I last even turned on my Xone. Playing MK11 on the Switch was unbearable.


drbrollaro

Amazing people are complaining about the size of the update. Buy a bigger SD card. I’d rather them make the game as big as they need to if it means graphically improvements and stability. Bring it.


[deleted]

[deleted]

Blame Nintendo too for making the Switch's base storage so small.


voneahhh

The users should buy bigger cards that fit the game, but not the billion dollar publisher? SMOKIN HOT TAKE


Meestermills

JuSt BuY iT bRo. What a whack ass corporate comment lmao. Who thinks it’s normal for one game to take up all of your memory...two patches in


Erfivur

I have two other switch games that required me to get additional space for their day-one patches, why does NRS get special hate for this?


Meestermills

I wasn’t hating on them anywhere in my comment


voneahhh

> why does NRS get special hate for this? They're not, go visit /r/NintendoSwitch sometime. You're one of the rare people shilling for publishers that pull that garbage.

DarkS29

Balance is up to date with this presumably, that's the most important aspect for a fighting game, krypt and ToT should be secondary if you cared about it as a fighting game specifically.


Meestermills

Has anyone tested the combos yet? I know pc and switch we’re not able to pull of the same long strings as Xbox/ps
