Let's talk: MKX on PC

the CHILL of DESPAIR
I love this thread. First half of the pages are "PC Master Race" people doing a giant circle jerk and talking about stupid people buying consoles.

This. This is why I buy consoles. No shitty ports. I own a high-end gaming PC, but I did my research, saw that PC version was going to be a port and immediately went for PS4 version. Consoles are good for plug+play gaming. No worrying about hardware, drivers, or anything. If a game doesn't work, its on the developer, I don't have to check anything on my end.

Choosing sides of a war is dumb. Certain games can only be played on consoles or PC. Certain games are developed for one better than the other. If I want to have both and have options, good on me.

Seeing all these tears after all the PC Master Race circle jerking got me like
Your logic just doesn't make any chance. You're really trying on saying that there is no good port? Are you high or something?

I blame Nether Realms for bringing High Voltage Software (a company well known for doing shitty ports... and they do cel phone games, for fucks sakes).

This has nothing to do with PC or console. NRS should've spent a few more bucks to hire some decent company to do this port. Just my 50cent.

It's been said like 1000000 times already but some people just fail at reading or smtg. NRS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CHOOSING HVS to make PC PORT.

NRS is owned by WB.

WB makes all the decision and choose + payed HVS for making the port.

So...how far behind is the PC version in patches now?

We have Jason, but most of the frame data hasn't been adjusted.

it stinks like piss still. a huge drag ed boon through the mud for no god damn reason taking a motherfucking piss. abject failure. if this was anybody's job it sure as fuck shouldn't be anymore. Here's my 1st gaming hour after a 15 gigabyte turd burrito download FOR FUCKS SAKE "patch"

After being paid for years of development, i can't even! how embarassing lol ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs








<= 1 hour.

It's pumping out matches faster, and crashes and burns my rig far less. Marginal improvement on an outstanding disaster.

Like if I'm going to read 53 pages of this non-sense, bro. lol

But thanks for the clarification. Anyways, let's blame WB then. :)

This looks like Mortal Kombat (2011) all over again. I haven't played Mortal Kombat X online yet. Honestly, given the track record of NetherRealm Studios game's online (HVS or no), I simply assumed the online would be generally poor as their games always seem to be.

If I end up being wrong it'd be a pleasant surprise.
 
Ok so......

There is no performance improvement whatsoever, in fact I get the exact same FPS on the same stages at the same resolutions.

But here comes the crazy.

For me, resolutions other than native no longer fit inside a full screen window. I only get like 1/3rd to 1/4 of the screen.
BECAUSE there is no performance improvements I cannot play at native still and BECAUSE of the weird issue with full screen, I now have to play in a tiny window with my desktop taking up most of the screen.

How does this even happen? Seriously?

This is the perfect PCMR specimen. Notice the attacks and use of words like "inferior". See here the blatant need for self justification in the overblown inflation of the "wasted money". "90 dollar game and 500 dollar system and 200-300 dollars worth of controller/modifications just to be able to play a game that can run better look better and mod better on PC". 60$ game turns into a 90$ game [50% increase] (which btw is the same price across both consoles for someone buying within the first 6 months), 400$ system turns into a 500$ system [25% increase], and 200-300 dollars worth of controllers??? The damned box comes with a controller...

I never once said that people that bought it for the PC were wrong or dumb, but that people like you who think you are better than people that own consoles are worthless. I know my way around a computer. I have probably been building computers from scratch since before you even owned a PC. I never buy pre-built. I do my research EVERY TIME. But I still have a PS4. Can you play Bloodborne on PC? No, sorry. Can you play Uncharted on the PC? No, sorry. Infamous, Gran Turismo, Destiny? Nope. If you don't like those games, then that's your preference. But if you won't play them solely because they are on consoles, then you are ignorant. I like to have options and as long as games will get shitty PC ports and good exclusives are made for consoles, I will own a console.
Look man, you obviously came in here to gloat over the fact you were super smart and bought it for ps4 and not the PC because you knew how terrible this port would be. Congratulations , we're all really proud of you. And now to refute every single point you tried to make.

I used the word inferior because it is accurate. i don't see how justification was involved.

the game is 90$ if you want the kombat pack which i would. 400-500$ was an estimate since i have never looked into getting a console, but there would be taxes so your 25% markup is actually only a 19% markup or so. 200-300 dollars for a controller is because i don't play on pad, I would have to buy a new stick for xb1 or mod my old ps3 stick for ps4 because fuck that stupid legacy driver bullshit. I also play with the MK 6 button layout which is important to me so i would mod the stick accordingly. 200-300 dollars i think was correct in this case.

Your first post is about how much smarter/better you are than people who bought it for PC. And calling "people like me" worthless and thinking that i think i am "better" than anyone is a good one, since you know me so well and all. The only thing my post was doing was explaining why consoles are not for me. My OPINION on the matter is that they are a waste of money in multiple ways. What people spend their money on is up to them.

I am very impressed. Not only are you super smart but you do your research too!!!. You also seem to know when I owned my first computer and you even know that it was pre built. You know your way around a computer and you can build your own computer?!?!? YOU DONT BUY PRE BUILT PCS???? Super smart choice man i'm impressed. My 8 year old nephew can put a computer together. It's just like playing with Legos. Grats none the less.

i would probably like those games. I don't dislike them i simply don't play on consoles because of the cost. There are plenty of games that cannot be played on consoles and i have played most of them.

If you were stranded on an island with internet and had the choice between bringing a ps4 or a top of the line gaming PC which would you choose? If you say something like " if i had internet i wouldn't be stranded" then you're ignoring the fact that you're nothing but a troll and all the internet would see is a boy crying wolf.

I never once said PC was the master race. I simply was stating the fact that some PCs are superior platforms in terms of hardware.

This happened before they pulled the patch on the 5th. They seemed to fix it for my particular setup since i don't have any resolution problems since downloading the patch.
I'm not sure what would still be causing it for you but i would suggest you contact HVS some how and try to find an answer. I haven't heard anyone else mention any resolution problems since they re-released the patch.
 
This patch actually saddens me quite a bit.

This long after release and I can't play the game properly. I just want to be able to practice on my own and I can't really even do that easily now.

The game is now relegated pretty much to offline meetup only status.... I really like the game but this is making it very difficult to keep up drive to practice when I have to jump over spiky hurdles to do so.

EDIT: hahahahaha and to add insult to injury, the game loads in the same, broken resolution setting every time so I have to navigate an invisible menu just to get the game playable in a tiny windowed box.... that still lags on sky temple.

So basically,

Am sure by now, its well known that while the combat runs at a smooth 60fps framerate, the story mode cutscenes, match intros, menu animations, x-rays and fatalities are all locked at 30fps.

While NRS would have done this keeping the consoles in mind, the PC platform due to its better hardware capabilities and providing much better visual and performance levels compared to the PS4 and XBOX ONE should be able to run the game at a full 60fps all the time wherever we are.

Ok, after the most recent patch my performance has gone massively down hill. I never had good performance because my PC is just barely over minimum specs, but I was able to struggle on at my 30-40 fps only in training room. Now I get maybe 17-25, and if I go online I get this slow motion deal. And I don't mean some slight delay, I mean can count the shards in a shattered ice clone delay. Usain Bolt could probably run the 100m in the time it takes Kotal Kahn's Sword Toss to come out. It's straight up bullet time.

Is there anything I can do? I've optimized the game with Raptr, lowest resolution, everything off, no particle density, and I was just barely scraping by with "kinda playable" before, but this just isn't going to work. Apparently, HVS's definition of minimum specs is very different from mine. I was stupidly thinking I'd be able to squeeze 60fps out of this monster by setting everything at the bottom, but it doesn't do any damn good.

Of course you do. No frameskip there. Why would even attempt to click "online" button if you can't maintain 60 FPS?

For those who got performance hit: tinker with v-synch setting. Disable it if you must. Worked well for me in MK9/IGAU before I upgraded.

Yup, Krypt is still fucked, levers are STILL broken.

What in the goddamned FUCK?!
Just had the best connection in my NRS history tonight. The feeling of actually being able to do shit that you wanna do is amazing. I have a lil more hope for the PC version and it makes me happy. Still 85% are still utter shite but building a good FL with people you have stable connect with is def the way to go.

I can't entirely tell if you're being facetious, so I should clarify some things. Until yesterday, I could play online with friends. It wasn't great and I was at a handicap, but it was functional. It's not anymore.

If you experience problems with slo-mo in particular, then it's most probably about performance and fps. Maybe they did something this time around to make the game playable for those who don't get 60 fps (they did with offline at least), but you shouldn't rely on that. Desynchs and slo-mo will happen most probably.
Make sure you guys have same FPS caps (they were going to implement 30 FPS mode, weren't they?), make sure it's stable.
After the patch, chances are, v-synch setting works differently. Try to disable that, as I've said.

I really wish to know why exactly things got better for some and worse for others, but all I have is guesses based on what exactly changed in the patch - which I may not fully know even.

Lol stahp.
People are struggling to run the game on rigs that technically match recommended specs unless it's either overkill or some sort of very specific combination of components and OSs as far as I can tell (although real reasons are pretty damn obscure).
This is really something that will do nothing to people who run the game fine while possibly causing troubles (like drops and desynchs online) for the rest. There's no reason to implement this.

Thanks, this has helped out a lot. I'm not sure what it does, but there was a new option called frame smoothing in PC Video. I think that might have locked it at 30 fps, but not certain. It said to activate it only if you were having performance issues. And V-sync was turned back on as you said. The combination of those two options has things running better (in training room) than ever before. If anything, everything seems slightly too fast now, though that may just be what it's supposed to look like with a stable frame rate. Turns out I don't need to go online for slow motion, just go to sky temple.

People with rigs that blow recommended specs out of the water are having trouble as well. I think now that we're 3 high voltage PC ports in, we have a good idea where the finger should be pointed.
