(I know I’m a week late, and I wasn’t going to post this, but decided to anyway for archival purposes.)
NetherRealm Studios released a patch for Mortal Kombat (2011), bringing it up to version 0.144S-234-77c814ec (Xbox 360) / ????-??? (PS3) [update version 1.??]. As detailed on the official hotfix and patch notes thread, the following changes have been made:
General Gameplay Fixes/Tweaks
- Fixed a couple of crash scenarios.
- DLC billboards should now behave correctly on Xbox.
- You should no longer see online desyncs on Xbox that are related to alternate costumes or classic costume DLC packs.
- MOTD handling and displaying code was tweaked.
- Fixed a bug that could have resulted in tweakvars getting corrupted.
- Fixed a crash in player select if you tried to exit out while the DLC box was open.
- With the exception of Human Cyrax and Human Sektor, everyone’s alternate costumes should behave the same as their primary costumes and have the exact same move properties.
- You can now block after a dash forward is completed if it was cancelled into from a special move. Cancelling out of a dash into another dash was normalized for most of the characters. Dash Block cancelling remains the same.
- Wake-up attacks should have better invulnerability on them if done in the first 4 frames of the wake-up window. (this was added as a hotfix tweakable value)
- You no longer get a completely free throw attempt after someone blocks your jump punch. The opponent has less block hit frames but chained combos from a jump punch will remain the same.
