Let's talk: MKX on PC

In the steam forums i saw alot of ppl with top notch pcs i even saw one with a fucking titan gpu complaining about low fps, they could all be trolls but i doubt that a sidescroller like mkx needs more pc power than a bf4 or a Crysis 3.
also changing the resolution and setting everything to low did little to nothing for many people ( me included i had to set gpu scaling and 1600x900 anything below or higher will cuz 30 fps)

Pretty sure most of them are trolls or just have know idea how to set up a pc.



If you set everything to low this game will use your cpu instead of the gpu. You may be able to counter this by using the configure to set it to use your gpu. But turn your setting higher see if that helps. If your below the requirements then there is no help.

I honestly wonder if it's actually a bug. If you look at the console versions, they load slower than the PC version. I've always wondered if we're missing those animations simply because our version is loading faster.
Nah it was there before the big patch, they just got cut out when it dropped for whatever reason.

It was never there for me. even before the patch i was talking about it with a lot of people... i have never once seen the walk off animations on PC
I can confirm they were there. When I had some characters I could select, they did so before the game crashed. I can't tell exactly which package killed it, but I remember selecting Shinnok and seeing him walk off.

Yeah i know they were there for some people... i am 100% positive they were never there for me.. it was one of the first things i noticed... i remember making a joke about it not working bcus my SSD is so fast on day 1.

Not actual day 1 but PC day 1 of course.

Some one posted this on steam message board.

"They sent me this message on facebook 7 hours ago
Their previous reply to me was 2 days ago

Hi there,

We're still testing out our current fixes, but we will be releasing a patch very soon.

We do apologize for any headache these issues have caused you and the rest of the MK Kommunity."


Also, for anyone still trying to improve frame rate or make the game run smoother. I tried doing what this guy said and it seems to have helped. But like all of the DIY "fixes" it only does so much...I actually get 60fps steady with no drops on most of the maps...still 45-55fps only on sky temple which seems to be the only FPS related issue i have now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In steam library MKX R-clk Properties Set launch options

-NoVSync -NOTEXTURESTREAMING -NOWRITE -NOSPLASH -USEALLAVAILABLECORES

in C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\MK10\options.ini
edit

add in this

bSmoothFrameRate = false
MinSmoothedFrameRate=0
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=0
CapFPS = false
-------------------------------------------------------

capfps=false was the only text that i already had in my options.ini and it wasn't even there at first. it wasn't until i created a shortcut for mkx, put -dx10 after it in it's properties and ran as administrator, that the development portion of my .ini file showed up. I don't even think the -dx10 does anything after tweaking and testing for the past 3-4 days and have since removed it. but after trying it i got the extra line of code in the .ini for some reason which wasn't there before. If i remove my the .ini and start the game to create a new one the new one will not have the development portion.

.......i'm not sure if all the launch options commands work either but i did all of that and I am getting better performance.

Sorry if any of this is convoluted, i'm just trying to share these "fixes" regardless if it's 100% or not based on my personal experiences. Everyone's system could see different results.

They were there. On launch day, when they tested this awkward downloading method, you could go into a game, pick up whichever fighter was available and you would see walkaways.

okay, they were there apparently for everyone except me... they were never there for me i am positive. since PC launch didn't work i was playing for 14 hours on ps4 before i came home and loaded in so i was used to seeing the walk away animation every time. It was the very first thing i noticed once the game started working and i loaded in.

Nope, I'm with you, never saw them either. The game unlocked on Apr. 14th at 1:00 pm, however with all the problems I was hearing (I got home around 5:00 pm), I waited until 12:30 pm on the 15th to actually download and install _and_ I waited for all the DLC to install before I first booted the game.

The game runs great for me, and I only had some frame rate issues when I was running my resolution higher than what GeForce Experience recommended. I don't doubt that there are technical issues and that so many people are having problems and I'm not talking down to anyone, just to make that clear.

I always figured the walk-offs never occurred because my system was loading so fast. Watching online videos of the console versions, my PC copy loads so much faster.

Of course, I could be wrong and it could be legit bugged.

So does NRS care or nah? I saw in the stream a bunch of people complaining about PC, but I checked out. Do these people really play on toasters?
NetherRealm Studios didn't develop the PC version. They developed the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version for Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment. WBIE contracted High Voltage software to port the game to PC.

So does NRS care? The answer is sort of :p.

Yeah but if you take the game box it's written nowhere that NSR isnt in charge for the PC.
It's kinda sad to have to look on the Internet if the game you want to buy/play is going to have the attention you'd hope to from the devs.

I myself bought mkX on PC thinking it was NRS on charge.
I don't think you should look for that kind of infos.. to me it's pretty much lying to our faces and grabbing the money and running away.

I've never seen the PC physical copy, doesn't seem to exist in my country (that I could find) :p.

Regardless though, NRS or HVS, it doesn't really matter. The franchise, _and_ NRS are owned by WBIE. WBIE is the main party here. They contracted HVS, so WBIE is still the main party there. HVS is porting a game developed by NRS, it is the same game.

At the end of the day, the question should be "Does WBIE care."

They should all 3 care because all three names are attached to the product in some form or fashion.
 
For some reason I cannot find PC thread, so I'll post this one. Sorry for inconvenience.

Two things that don't affect gameplay but still bug me:

1) Anybody uses keyboard here? I do and since you can't change key bindings for start/select and such anymore, I'm having trouble choosing colour scheme for characters. Can anybody help?

2) What happened to "walk away" animation after character selection on PC?
Hi friend, in character select, press 'O' to select your costume and then press the (Print Screen button (above insert) to get the Player 2 colours.

Edit: Not PrintScreen, Insert, DasKeyboard got me confused.

Ok, I've been playing on an xbone controller, but I've gotten frustrated with it recently and wanted to go back to straight keyboard like I did with Injustice. Never again will I do a bf motion and get a neutral jump I thought. Well I thought wrong because I can't figure out how to set the controls how I want them. It won't let me use the num pad 6 key on the player 1 side because randomly halfway through trying to change the controls, the back button switches from Esc to 6. Player 2 gets the 6 key and all I would have to do is change the directions to what I like, really, but apparently I am defaulted as player 1.

Also, why in the hell is keyboard setup for 2 players at once on default? Is there seriously ANYONE out there doubling up on a keyboard?

Does anyone know wtf to do? Do I really have to relearn basic muscle memory of where my 4 is? Or god forbid, learn how to use a pad efficiently D:

What I did is I made sure that both back kicks are tied to other buttons first (thus unbinding "back" fuction from num pad 6) then mapped what I wanted.
The game still won't allow me to use gray plus and the like those. It's a bummer because I used to use it for throw.
