These Mortal Kombat 11 July update patch notes are not the balance changes you want. After all, they are only hitting the PC and Switch versions of the game and not the PS4 and Xbox One versions. And while they still don’t contain any big Erron Black nerfs or D’Vorah buffs, they do, speaking of bugs, contain some bug fixes. But some of these go beyond some patching up some holes.
Mortal Kombat 11 July Update Patch Notes | PC fixes
The PC version mainly has some bug fixes specific to the platform like vague issues with the mouse and keyboard input and audio being played in the background after the player minimizes the game. However, there are a couple that are a little more noteworthy. Facial animations have been fixed in intros and the Kustomize tab if players are playing in the 60 frames per second mode.
ALSO: Mortal Kombat 11 Nightwolf DLC teased yet again
Compression in the Krypt has also been adjusted, meaning it should run better. If true, this would be great since this area of the game has performance issues on all platforms.
Mortal Kombat 11 July Update Patch Notes | Switch fixes
The Switch version of the patch has got some bigger notes. There are general stability improvements to the Towers of Time, Krypt and Koliseum Beast Pen arena. So hopefully the game doesn’t lock up as much or drop frames as often while cruising through towers, opening chests, or fighting on that certain map.
And while there are some other small bug fixes too like Skeleton Keys now giving proper rewards in the Krypt, there is one area where the Switch now has a feature the other systems don’t have (yet). The second player can now use and modify fighter variations from the first player’s lineup. Guest players were previously locked to pre-selected variations and gear, which was awfully limiting especially given the game’s emphasis on customization. Now, local players can also join in on the customization. As was previously stated, this feature is not in the other versions of the game but hopefully it will be added soon.
