Mortal Kombat X PC update brings a game breaking bug, temporarily removed

You could say... NetherRealm just did a Fatality on PC users.

Developer NetherRealm and PC co-developer High Voltage have been working diligently to get a game improving update for the PC version of Mortal Kombat X released. This update was supposed to come today, but unfortunately, the update came with a game breaking bug and the patch has been removed.

Upon downloading the update players were suddenly met with their entire game vanishing. The update comes with a Save Data Loss, meaning that anything players had completed in the game are now gone.

Until the cause for the Save Data Loss has been pinpointed, the update will not be available to PC users.

Here is what the update was meant to resolve:

  • Added the free Klassic Sub-Zero costume.
