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

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.

  • Fix to prevent save game data from being corrupted while closing the game.
  • Walk away animations now appear at the end of the character selection process.
  • The levers in Shao Khan's Tomb will now activate.
  • Shinnok's Flick Trick Fatality no longer experiences a significant framerate drop.
  • Functionality is no longer lost while watching a match replay.
  • Pre-game lobbies will populate 10 players into Faction Battle matches.
  • Kombat Kards will now display correct Icons, Backgrounds, and Borders in a KOTH match.
  • Fatality inputs no longer change into QTE inputs during in Online Tower Battles.

  • Fixed leaderboards and kombat kards not updating past the top players.
  • After entering Replays with the controller the Player can use the keyboard when watching a replay from an online match.
  • Loading screens now display before progress bar fills up.
  • Diagonal arrows are shown instead of keys when Alternate Control is enabled.
  • Sometimes saving a Custom1 preset displayed as being saved for Custom1-4 in the character select and pause menu controls screens.
