We would like to apologize for the rollback netcode issues present in the Steam version of THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII GLOBAL MATCH.
Despite our resolve to address this situation swiftly, the time required to troubleshoot the issue took longer than expected.
We would now like to both present to players our plans to resolve the network issues, and offer our deepest apologies for the lack of communication regarding this issue so far.
We are actively investigating the issue and developing an update aimed at improving the situation for players. The plan is to roll out the update within the next 30 days.
■Planned Update Details:
1. The background stage elements of online matches will be made static in order to lessen rollback netcode strain.
2. Some stages that demand large amounts of resources will no longer be selectable when playing online.
Beyond this update, we are committed to continuing work on improving the online experience of the title, and will announce further updates and adjustments in the future.
When the above planned update is rolled out, there will be a short maintenance period in which online functions will be unavailable.
We ask for your understanding and patience during the downtime.
More information regarding the timing of this update will be announced on our official X account (@SNKPOfficial) in due course.
To all players of THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII GLOBAL MATCH, we thank you for your patience as we work to provide the satisfying online experience you deserve.
