Month: June 2017

The Steam version of Tekken 7 received has been updated. Weighing in at around 258 MB, this patch provides online matchmaking adjustments to ensure that legitimate players will no longer be matched up with hackers looking to boost their Ranking or alter the game’s parameters. Additionally, leaderboard issues and partially-disappearing models have been corrected, with tweaks also being made to Nina’s Ivory Cutter (likely the same change applied in console patch 1.02 to remove a wall infinite on Kuma), along with a few other moves. A similar update was applied to the PlayStation 4 version of the game earlier this month. You can see the full list of changes below, courtesy of the official Tekken Facebook page:

Update size: 258.7 MB

Attention Tekken 7 fighters! The first patch for Tekken 7 on PC is happening now stabilizing the following issues:

• Fixes an issue where the leaderboard only shows until the 97th rank and players can’t jump to their own ranking.
• Fixes an issue where players can’t resume the game after minimizing the app’s Window.
• Updates the matching version to ensure hackers will not be matched with legit users anymore.
• Fixes Nina’s Ivory Cutter, Eddy’s rage arts and Miguel’s power crash move.
• Fixes an issue where sometimes both controls are assigned to 1P in VERSUS battle.
• Fixes an issue where the keyboard becomes unresponsive after reconnecting USB devices.
• Fixes issues where customized Kazuya’s 3D model partially disappears.

Winter’s coming early this year, as the frosty grand-master of the Lin Kuei Sub-Zero is joining the Injustice 2 roster on July 11th. Announced by Ed Boon via Twitter, the Mortal Kombat guest character will act as the second character of Fighter Pack 1.

Due to his release being so close to Evo, the icy ninja will not be legal at the tournament. If there is a balance patch to coincide with his release, expect an official ruling as to whether setups at Evo will or will not use the latest version of Injustice 2.

Starfire is the next character to come in Fighter Pack 1 and based on the current trend with character releases, she will probably join the fight in August. If I were a betting man, I’d imagine we may see a trailer for the alien princess during the Injustice 2 finals at Evo.
