Release v1.2

[SNK.Prog_Jace]

Hello everyone!

We have been hard at work solving some of the remaining issues some people seem to be experiencing. There are still some issues outstanding, and we are still working on them (such as start up crashes, performance issues etc.), but we do have an update for you for the time being! Enter v1.2!

Be sure to update your game on Steam. It should do so automatically (as long as you are not playing a game). But you can also double check to see if your version has updated by navigating to your KOFXIII local files in Steam, and looking for a file called "release-v1-2.txt" (it should be in the same directory as your "kofxiii.exe" file).

This update includes:
- Restart player matches (on the results screen you can now restart a match using the same team and order without having to return to the lobby or character select screen)
- Rage Quit penalty system
- Some performance optimizations

About the Rage Quit penalty system:

We have seen that a lot of people are experiencing griefers and rage quitters online. So in the hopes of creating a better online experience, we have created a Rage Quit penalty system (that sits invisibly behind the scenes) that will penalise those that rage quit. The penalty system DOES take into account legitimate disconnects, or synchronization issues - so those who experience genuine online issues shouldn't be affected. But those who rage quit may receive a loss of points and/or a temporary online ban. Our goal here is to achieve a much more competitive online spirit within the KOFXIIISE community!

Note: All users must update to take advantages of updates such as match restarts.

Thanks again everyone!

Jace :)

Your naming sense drives right to the heart of the matter. I love it.

Sometimes I Alt+F4 from the lobby/match summary screen once a game is finished because it's quicker. Is that sort of thing counted as rage quitting?

A match is defined from the moment you leave the lobby to results screen. So you can ALT+F4 on the match summary screen or lobby - as long as you haven't started a game or accepted a rematch.

I thought so, thanks Jace!

Guys,

I really hope that you will fix the ingame freezes.
I even recorded a demonstrative video for you to see:

100% CPU usage during these freezes.

After lurking around the forums, I got an idea that maybe it is has some connection to Core 2 Duo processors.
