So, here's the problem that I'm having for a very long time. Every time that I launch the game, it needs cca at least 30 seconds to startup. This is a very strange issue due to the fact it runs perfectly with no problems whatsoever once it had started. I have no problems with slow motion or anything similar, I also never had those issues where I couldn't start the game at all, but those are the only issues that I found people reporting about. I haven't seen anyone with the same issue that I have in google and steam forum searches. On top of that, I've already posted similar thread on steam forums several times, but not a single person even responded to it.
Let me tell you some other interesting symptoms of the problem:
- I can make it go away for maybe a few days or at least few hours by deleting and reinstalling my gpu drivers (amd radeon r9 280x). But I strongly doubt the drivers could be the cause of that because everything else runs perfectly on my pc. As mentioned before, the issues always comes back soon, so I have to delete drivers again and again which is a painfull and somewhat pointless process.
- I've been able to solve this (only for limited time again) by installing some c++ visual redists, I don't remember which ones exactly, but it doesn't matter anyway. I still highly doubt the problem lied here, because it came back shortly after again. It seems to me that something is messing with MK on my pc, deleting and reinstalling some stuff makes it go away for a brief period of time, but it always reappears shortly after. It seems like the game itself or some other program quickly installs some files that are messing with MK startup and heavily prolong it, but I haven't been able to found the exact cause.
- Similar symptoms than before, I've fixed it once by deleting MKKE folder in %appdata%, but it worked only once! I've tried doing the same every time before starting the game, but with no effect ever since.
Needless to say this slow startup is eating me a lot of nerves, especially due to the fact that MK is my favourite game and basically the only game which I have time to play at the moment. I play it almost every day and having to wait up to a minute for it to launch is just horrible. On the other hand, when I delete GPU drivers and the problem temporarily goes away, the game starts in cca 10 seconds, as it always should.
My pc hardware and software:
- amd fx 8350
- amd radeon r9 280x
- 16 gb of ram
- 256gb samsung ssd
- 1tb wd sata drive (where MK is currently installed)
- windows 7 sp1 ultimate 64bit.
And another thing, I've already tried having MK on SSD too, but it does absolutely no difference. The same problems is constantly happening no matter which drive I install it to.
I beg you for some help on this, I've already lost all hope on Steam forums
