MK fans everywhere were excited to learn that NettherRealm Studios released the latest update for 'Mortal Kombat X' on PC which was going to bring about "huge improvements." While the list of new features and changes is extensive, many gamers are complaining that all of their saved progress has been wiped (amongs other issues) after downloading and installing the update.

Stepping right into the heart of the matter, forum posters on the game's Steam Community page are claiming that their saved data has been deleted, and their back ups are not functioning as intended. While the new patch lists many "fixes" it seems as though it's brought about some new problems as well.

Setting that aside, while the saved data issue has not been directly addressed, an official post on the Steam forum has been made.

On May 5, CookieMunsterCheese_WB posted:

"We've been monitoring the forums and are aware of the issues players are encountering. We appreciate the constructive feedback from you, the community. We want you to know that there is ongoing support behind the scenes and it's important to us that Mortal Kombat X is a fun experience for all of our players. We will be posting announcements more frequently to keep you aware of upcoming fixes. "

"Today we are posting a new patch for the early access release of Jason Voorhees to Kombat Pack owners."

Clearly the developers behind the latest update understand that 'Mortal Kombat X' PC players are reporting other issues besides the data loss, and are striving to fix them. Again, as the latest 'MK X' patch promised to bring about "huge improvements," that same sentiment does not seem to be shared by their loyal gamers.

Moving onto a more positive subject, the post went ahead and provided a detailed list of all the changes they plan to implement in the new version of the game.

They wrote, "The patch will also address the following for all users:
