Now as I got my hand on the most waited game, but believe me, the same way it given me excitement has also pissed away my mood. No doubt it is one my favorite games of all time with all the new character like Erron Black, new ailities, arenas and game play has driven me crazy. I just can’t put my controller down as there is always a new experience. But one thing that has sort of taken 30% of my happiness and that is the bad porting of this game. I am PC gamer myself, never owned a PS4 because I find PC much more fun. I’ve played all NetherRealm Studios games (formally known as Midway) but none of them had any issues at all. Before I begin my complaints, let’ first have a look at the specs of Mortal Kombat X.

Now this is from Steam page and official WB requirement. My specs might be old but still I know it can play the game. I play this game on Quad Core 2.3, 6GB requirements and a HD 7750 GPU which I believe is old but can kill off the game. I play this game on medium resolution of 1360x768 but still I get choppiness even when I turned everything to low. I don’t like playing games on low but here I just want smooth FPS. After spending almost 12 hours working on the issue of this game, I come up with many things. This game is not properly using all the resources from GPU but instead is relying totally on CPU. The reason of stuttering, fps drops and choppiness on some stages like Sky Temple is because it using only few % of GPU power and totally putting it’s pressure on CPU. After some research on various Steam forums and other websites, there are indeed solutions there but still this game needs proper fix from the developers. Even though many guys who has Killer PC’s are facing the same problems which I believe is totally strange. One FPS fix that I found a little effective was deselecting one of the processor in the task manager then “set affinity”. Note that this only works on Quad Core Processors or more. This indeed reduced the fps drops but still it stutters a little bit in some stages like Outworld Marketplace, Emperor’s KourtYard and Sky Temple but still it is playable somehow. There are many working fix but still I voted to contact WB to instantly patch this game. There is a patch but the size is about 15GB which improves shaders and performance of the game. Still 15GB is something really odd to fix a game and those who have limited bandwidth will have to wait for a low size patch.
I hope the developers will take this matter seriously as many gamers including myself want to get full smooth experience of the game.
A critical look at the "DOOM," "Skyrim," and "Fallout" tables in the new version of this virtual pinball game.
Romeo is a Dead Man, is now available for PC; here are the best settings for optimized performance on mid-end systems & the Steam Deck.
Koei Tecmo announced Dead or Alive 6 Last Round and teased a new game, bringing back the fighting legacy of the franchise under the spotlight.
So MK X is a poorly optimized port because it doesn't run well on your PC that doesn't meet minimum requirements? However according to you it can "kill off the game." (whatever that means)
"My specs might be old but still I know it can play the game" That's why they list minimum requirements genius. According to those, you CAN NOT run the game.
Only thing worse then this feeble attempt at a review is your grammar.
I'm using an i3 and I can run it.Im using gtx 860m and 12 gb ddr3.Its funny cuz I went to the can you run it website and it said I couldn't on this game and a few other games that I have running at 60fps and greater.The only time I expierence unplayable frame rates is on sky temple and that jungle level for some reason.If I take the resolution down from 1080p to 900 the issues go away on those levels.So yeah I see what he means about poorly optomize to a certain extense
I got another fix here. however it worked for me
You can see my Spec on the above blog, its not good but still manages some how.
Here what I did: (For AMD CARD users)
open AMD Catalyst, Add both mortal kombat x launcher and MK10.exe
Put texture filtering quality to performance
Use razor booster to close any unnecessary background windows
launch the game and change the settings to following.
Resolution = 1280x720 (must be 59 hz refresh rate)
Anti aliasing = FXAA
Window mode (don't play on full screen if you want better fps)
Texture = High
Shadow = High
Particles Density = Full
Everything On except Motion Blur which should be off
After this go to training or single fight. choose fighters and then choose the arena that stutters i.e. Sky Temple or Outworld Marketplace. Play a little while, it may stutters but then the gameplay will become fine.
This way you can play all arenas but sometime character intros and x-ray may stutters but those are fine for me..
Hope it helps, sorry for my english
Dude, if you want to reduce stuttering, force Vsync off in Catalyst Control Center.
I've done it on my GTX 760, Sky Temple is literally 90% smooth now. The reason it stutters like hell is because the game either forces a 60fps lock or a 30fps lock. Sky Temple is very, very particle heavy and that affects performance. I can push 60fps in every map but Sky Temple, which runs at an average of 56fps. That means that the middle area of the map runs below 60fps, and the game constantly tries to switch between a 30fps lock and a 60fps lock. Forcing Vsync off resolved that issue, it can now run at 56fps or whatever it can.
Another great fix i found today... when you start the game ... disable controller and play with keyborad.. you will get smooth fps... weird
