UPDATED June 19

1.04 Patch Notes June 18

Hello MVPs! This patch accompanies our change to grant players additional Battle Pass XP for daily missions and PvE Rifts completion. We are also planning a larger balance patch, targeting delivery in the near future. But for now, we are continuing to address feedback and hotfix issues as they arise.

After collecting a ton of data, we’re happy to share that our disconnect rates have been dramatically reduced on all platforms including XB1 and PS4.

With the patch that went out earlier today, we fixed an issue where the game was incorrectly treating a long loading screen as a network timeout. We believe this was causing the high disconnect rates on PS4 and XB1. We have been monitoring and believe the patch has dramatically lowered disconnect rates on PS4 and XB1. Please let us know if this has improved for you!

Thanks to everyone who reported this issue and provided additional data – keep your reports coming!

Below you will find our most recent adjustments for both the 1.03 and 1.04 hotfixes.

1.02 Patch Notes June 13

Hello MVPs! Thanks for your continued feedback on Discord, Reddit and the rest of our social channels! We’ve been paying close attention to all of your spirited discussions and are working hard to improve a number of high-priority issues with MultiVersus.

Our top priority for this patch is integrating additional fixes for Xbox performance issues and desyncing in matches. Following the update, please drop by our socials and let us know how you feel about the improvements that we’ve made.

In addition to performance changes, we’ve made several balancing updates to many character abilities, perks and more. You’ll be happy to know repairs to the Iron Giant have been completed and he’s out of the shop and ready for action.

Read on for the full breakdown of changes and don’t forget to tell us what you think after you’ve had a chance to play.

General

• All characters now incur a 15-frame repeat-move lockout on their ground side attack combo. This will prevent individual fighters from alternating ground side attack and dodge to lock enemies in hitstun for extended periods of time.

• Camera minimum distance in 1v1 has been increased

• All available Profile Icons, Banners, Badges, Ringouts and Announcer Packs will appear in the Account Cosmetics section of the Fighters tab. Previously only some unowned cosmetics were shown.

General Bug Fixes

• Addressed more issues impacting performance on Xbox Series X|S

• Fixed 2 issues causing matches to Desync

• Fixed an issue where parrying an attack would not always put the victim into parry stun

Perks

Air Walker

• Now limited to one use per airtime

• Fixed an issue where attempting to spawn a platform would not consume an air evade

• Fixed an issue where LeBron could not spawn a platform when he did not have a basketball

Characters

Legend:

+ = Buff

– = Nerf

~ = Change

* = Bugfix

Note: Attacks callouts reference default controls.

Banana Guard

• Ground Side Special

Black Adam

• Ground Side Attack 1

  • – Jump branch window delayed 6 frames

• Ground Side Attack 2

• Ground Down Special

  • * Fixed an issue where Bugs could cancel hitstun by jumping in certain conditions

Garnet

• Air/Ground Side Special (Cooldown)

  • ~ Knockback angle made more vertical

Gizmo

Gizmo’s maneuverability and size make him incredibly difficult to pin down. His movement combined with his incredibly strong zoning game make it nearly impossible for some characters to ever get the edge against him. These changes should help bring Gizmo’s evasiveness more in line with the cast so it’s easier for other characters to get up close and punish.

• Ground Side Attack 2

  • – Dodge branch window delayed 10 frames

  • – Prevents terrain bounce on knockback

• Air/Ground Neutral Attack

  • – Cooldown increased to 18s from 15s

• Air Side Special

• Ground Up Attack

  • + Base knockback increased to 1800 from 1663

  • – On-hit branch window delayed 10 frames

• Ground Down Attack

  • – Start-up window before charge increased 4 frames. Start-up window after charge increased 2 frames.

  • ~ Slide combos into follow-ups faster. Hitstun reduced significantly to compensate.

  • – Maximum movement from charge reduced 15%

  • ~ Now ignores player collisions during movement

  • – Leg hurtbox size increased slightly

Iron Giant

Iron Giant play was dominated by his easy-to-input infinites and a few early-kill setups. We’re hoping that removing his most egregious setups will make him feel more like the rest of the cast, and we feel good about letting players play with him again.

• Passive

  • – Rage meter gain from ally damage taken reduced to 60% of damage taken from 80%

  • – Rage meter gain from ally ringout reduced to 30% of total meter from 35%

Morty

• Air/Ground Neutral Attack

  • * Fixed an issue where firing a grenade lock-on projectile would trigger Morty’s snakes cooldown

• Ground Side Attack

  • * Fixed an issue where Morty could not jump or dodge during his side attack combo

Reindog

• Ground Side Attack 1

  • – Jump branch window delayed 6 frames

Shaggy

We have reverted the Shaggy Air Neutral Attack so that it can be canceled earlier on hit, but it did not get into this patch. This change will be coming in a patch in the very near future.

• Ground Side Attack 2

  • – Jump branch window delayed 11 frames

• Air/Ground Neutral Special

  • * Fixed an issue where Shaggy would float away while charging rage under certain conditions

Superman

• Ground Side Attack 3

  • – Removed ability to jump or dodge during rapid-jab attack

Taz

• Air Down Attack

  • + Hitbox size increased

1.01 Patch Notes June 6

We wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the helpful feedback on Reddit, Discord and our other social channels. We’re diligently consuming all of your suggestions and will be making a number of changes based on the info we’ve gathered following launch.

Before we dive into various fixes and improvements coming in this patch, we wanted to mention that Iron Giant has been taken back to the shop for maintenance and is not available to play with right now. We should have a status update by next week.

We’re also planning to address several highly requested changes soon, such as the additional performance improvements, end of game stats, options to turn off team colors, the ability to swap side and neutral attack, and the addition of adjustable input buffer settings. We’ll keep you posted on timing.
