Mortal Kombat X’s PC Port May Have a New Developer

[DigVaynE]

Although Mortal Kombat X’s popularity exploded on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at launch, the PC port was hampered by some rather glaring issues, many of which extended in to the early parts of the following month before being corrected. Due to the mess created by third-party developer High Voltage Software, NetherRealm Studios eventually had to step in themselves, and it appears as if their latest solution has introduced yet another entity to clean things up.

Recent changes in Mortal Kombat X’s data indicate that Polish company QLOC S.A. is currently in the process of making background changes to the Steam title. While the name may not be familiar, the studio has had their hands in many titles over the past few years, including Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition and Street Fighter x Tekken’s respective PC ports.

According to QLOC’s website, they are capable of handling projects in need of porting and quality assurance, which definitely fits the bill for Mortal Kombat X. In fact, they may already be familiar with the Steam version, as a press release put out by fellow SoftClub affiliate Cenega in April mentioned that the team was in charge of porting the title to areas like the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, and their native Poland.

Guys don't you see. WB never will announce the fact HVS f u cked up the port and they needed to hire a new team to fix the mess what HVS did. That is why never offically announced the 3rd party switch. I think they made an arrangement with HVS as if they shut they mouth, WB won't sue the hell out of them.

WB really fuc ked it up and now they want to sweep it under the carpet.

Open your save game files in notepad or something and look at the new file headers (the first few characters in plain text)... This header is new. I've checked back on old save games and it wasn't present in previous versions.

I'm not saying either way, and this isn't proof of anything, but it is interesting.

[JezJ]

Not fussed who's fixing it, as long as they get the 5960x issue resolved. Then I can at least find out what else is broken :)

[Zaxx]

Oh come on, I can't believe that there has to be fighting in every ♥♥♥♥♥♥' thread I visit.

Fact: HVS is not working on this game anymore, you can tell that by looking at the SteamDB page: you will notice that the current activity is very different than what we've seen before. It's a different company. Is it QLOC? Possibly but it was never officially announced and it's WB we're talking about, the guys who did not say a word about Iron Galaxy being involved with Arkham Knight.

1. No official announcement (To a game thats dead in the water sales wise.)

2. http://q-loc.com/en/2/services/9/quality-assurance - No where does it state that any type of programing takes place and they obviously didnt port it so...

3.Outside of that user uploaded steamdb folder you cant link Qloc to MKX or NRS yet you can link Qloc to all there past projects.

4.Patch post Qloc rumor has been consistent with patches pre Qloc rumor.

The real story here is how Shoryuken headlines require absolutely no proof at all and how 1 man trolled a desperate community into thinking help was coming lol.

%100 correct, also if you notice batman arkham knight also has the exact signs that MK X has got _qa and _lqa or whatever. it is just a new branch WB is using it is not Qloc

Ok Bobby and Arashenstein, go ahead and contact HVS to give us an update on MK X, since youre so sure they are the ones still working on it... the answer (I doubt you will get any) will supprise you --- they will redirect you, as they no longer work on it. They deleted their MK X threads on FB and all contact about it. But they didn't get fired, they got promoted to work on VR projects, so we have no idea who is still working on MK X, except for QLOC apearing shortly on steamdb after HVS stopped. NRS are NOT working on PC port themselves, that is a fact. It's also a fact HVS is no longer reachable on support, twitter or facebook as far as MK X is concerned. XBOX 360 and PS3 port fate remains uncertain, as HVS was suppose to do the XBOX 360 at least. Release date was moved to december 31 2015 - in other words unknown. So yea, besides qloc breiefly appearing on steamdb and HVS no longer having any association with MK X on pc it is completly unknown who is doing QUALITY ASSURANCE on steamdb, except QLOC stating on their website that thats exactly what their company does.

Pretty much the point here.

[Jace]

BTW the file headers for every save game of PC version of MKX now read QLOCcrc32 after latest patch, my previous post was too cryptic perhaps for most people here?? You can open your own save game files and read it yourself if in doubt.

"that is a fact"

No...my points are facts, your post is just more false hope and speculation.

But lets go over some of your "fact's"

"go ahead and contact HVS to give us an update on MK X, since youre so sure they are the ones still working on it... the answer (I doubt you will get any) will supprise you --- they will redirect you, as they no longer work on it."

*HVS has been directing customer support to WB/NRS since launch day, WB is the publisher that sold you MKX and hence there the ones responsible for customer satisfaction, Not HVS.

" they didn't get fired, they got promoted to work on VR projects"

* HVS is an independant development studio, Once there work on MKX was done they moved on. Damaged Core (VR project) is being developed and published by HVS and has nothing to do with WB.

"so we have no idea who is still working on MK X, except for QLOC apearing shortly on steamdb after HVS stopped."

* That Qloc folder was already explained in detail and theres absolutely no evidence linking it to Qloc or linking Qloc to MKX.

"NRS are NOT working on PC port themselves, that is a fact."

Proof? last i recall NRS came out and announced they were working "Closely" with HVS to fix the game.

If that folder was named "Nintendo_QA6969" we would probably still be having this conversation.

Now youre mixing up everything past and present, HVS have responded to community while they still were on MK X, and as game had many problems at that time NRS was working with them... but ever since we saw a new string QLOC on steamdb there has been no contact from HVS on MK X , and no statments from NRS or WB that they are working with HVS to resolve any issues, and we were unable to get any response from HVS on it either (where in fact at launch we were getting answers from them). They cut communicatoin and removed all Mortal Kombat X related material.
FFS they are not working on some secret govement project, it's just a game they were responcible for, and since the intent of developers and publishers is to actualy sell it to customers, some sort of customer support is required. What is going on here is now actualy in violation of several consumer rights and at least EU laws. It's like they made an ugly child now noone wants to be it's parent.

"Now youre mixing up everything past and present, HVS have responded to community while they still were on MK X, and as game had many problems at that time NRS was working with them..."

*This isnt news... http://www.high-voltage.com/contact.htm they only offer support for 4 of there 60+ games and 2 of which are games that HVS published, Its what freelance developers do.

"and no statments from NRS or WB that they are working with HVS to resolve any issues"

Boon and NRS have went on record stateing they were working closely with steam/HVS to fix MKX on pc...theres tons of threads of em.

"They cut communicatoin and removed all Mortal Kombat X related material."

http://www.high-voltage.com/ hard to miss it


"FFS they are not working on some secret govement project, it's just a game they were responcible for"

Its a game they were responsible for making..not supporting.

"and since the intent of developers and publishers is to actualy sell it to customers"

Developers dont sell anything, they get paid to produce a game. Publishers make money by selling said game.

"some sort of customer support is required"

Customer support can be found here http://support.wbgames.com/link/portal/24022/24028/ArticleFolder/391/Mortal-Kombat-X with the publisher of the game.

Where's the QLOC header? show me where to find it and someone post a picture of it for the nay-sayers

Yes, the appearance of Predator is a hint that NetherRealm are Aliens. They are on Earth since a much longer time as you might think. If you look closely, you can find Ed Boon on Pictures from 1705, even before Photography was invented.

Another hint is, if you read the letters QLOC in the right order, the name of the Aliengod will appear: CLQO.

That is fact.
