On July 3, 2013, NetherRealm Studios released the best, according to experts and players themselves, fighting game for personal computers - Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition. Prior to this, the game appeared for the then-advanced Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, while it not only pleased a huge number of fans of this series, but also became an example for other companies how to make a high-quality reprint of classic series.
However, one must correctly understand that the original release was intended specifically for the console, and any attempts to transfer console games to computers, unfortunately, almost always end with a huge number of all kinds of crashes and bugs, and this especially applies to fighting games. In practice, it turned out that MKKE ultimately followed a long tradition, so players are still looking for a solution to the problem of why the Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not start or crashes.
Check computer
If you cannot turn on some kind of game (it doesn’t matter, Mortal Kobmat Komplete Edition does not start or some other one), you initially need to look for the problem in yourself, or rather, in your computer. Thus, you need to check whether your hardware really meets the minimum requirements of the game that you run. The minimum requirements for MKKE are as follows:
- Windows 7/8 / Vista. Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not start on Windows XP, because initially the developer did not provide support for this OS.
- CPU. AMD Athlon at 2.8 GHz, or Intel Core Duo, whose clock frequency is 2.4 GHz, is allowed.
- 2 GB of RAM.
- AMD Radeon HD 3850 graphics card or Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS. It should also be noted that the game does not support video cards on DirectX 9, as a result of which, even after certain procedures, Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not start a second time and in subsequent times.
Among other things, it is worth noting that quite often modern users use various assemblies of Windows, equipped with all sorts of tweaks, so there are a number of errors. It is much better to just put a normal image from Microsoft.
The game crashes with an error
Initially, if you use the Optimus system, you should set the start characteristics of the MKE with Nvidia GeForce. If it so happened that you made a change in the launch parameters in accordance with the GPU, but in the end the problem did not disappear, you will need to carry out a certain series of actions:
- Initially, you will need to go to the directory: C: \ Users \ User \ AppData \ Roaming \ MKE.
- After that, open dxdiag.txt.
- Next, find Dedicated Memory, then replace the set value with 1024.
- Save the edited file.
- Go to the properties of this document and check the box next to "Read Only".
If everything was done in accordance with the instructions, then in this case, the MCCE should start without any difficulties. This solution to the problem is also relevant if you are using a Radeon graphics card.
It is worth noting the fact that if you still didn’t start to start the game when you try to start the game again, then in this case you should completely delete all data from this directory, then start the game and repeat the above operations.
The game crashes - two errors at startup
Immediately after this game appeared, a huge number of users encountered such a problem that the Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not start. The most common in this case is the error that appears during the start of the game, when instead of the traditional splash screen, two errors appear.
In this case, one error indicates that the game does not provide for the use of the monitor resolution currently in use, while the second indicates that the video card does not have enough memory to play in MKKE. Sometimes Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not start on Windows 7 and other suitable systems, even for those who have an advanced graphics card with 2 GB or more of memory.
The main problem in this case is poor optimization. The game is trying to tell you that initially the developers did not provide for its launch on the video card that you are using, and in this case there is no difference in what kind of device it is. Ultimately, an error occurs with a link to the graphics chip, and the card cannot determine what to do with the game.
What to do?
To solve the problem, you need to do the following:
- GeForce graphics card. Go to the control panel of your card, and then go to the Program settings, which are located in the "Manage settings" section. Next, you need to click the "Add" button and open the MKE .exe file. As a result, in the field of the graphic processor we install the productive processor of your video card.
- Radeon graphics card. Go to the Catalyst Control Center, which has a similar option that will switch the originally integrated video card to a more productive device.
If, after the actions taken, the game still cannot determine your card, then in this case, try to completely turn off the device that was originally integrated into your computer in the “Device Manager”. However, be prepared for the fact that a black screen may occur , since the Windows graphics environment is tied up in most cases on the built-in chip.
MKKE does not start on Windows 8
If you encounter such a problem when Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not start on Windows 8, then you should try to establish the compatibility of your operating system with Windows 7. In addition, it also helps to clean up your system using various programs like CCleaner .
The game crashes when automatically adjusting graphics
If Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not want to start on the computer, or crashes when a user tries to activate automatic graphics settings, then in this case you should open options.ini, which is located in the folder: C: \ Users \ User \ AppData \ Roaming \ MKKE . After that, you will need to find “configured = false” and change “false” to “true”. Thus, you simply turn off the automatic settings feature in your game and make the computer begin to recognize the settings that were originally set as true. And then with the entrance to the game should not be a problem. But other unforeseen situations may arise.
Still freezing ...
There is a certain probability that the game will subsequently be launched in the window, and in order to fix this, you need to add in options.ini:
[Video]
Fullscreen = False.
Windowed = True.
Window = True.
Just a logo appears, but MKE does not start
Often there is such a situation that after trying to start the game, just an emblem appears, but Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition does not start on a laptop or personal computer. To do this, you should completely delete the folder C: \ Users \ User \ AppData \ Roaming, and then try to open the game again.
Among other things, sometimes there is such a problem as a very strong braking of the game, when everything happens, as if in slow motion. The cause of this problem is also not the best optimization, while in the overwhelming majority of cases, it can be corrected by disabling the smoothing function. The lower the set parameters and the better the video card you use, the less braking there will be.
This manual is written for those people who do not want to wait for a long time for all kinds of fixes, patches and other things, especially since in the light of the new Mortal Kombat X, developers are unlikely to remember the problems of their old version. Therefore, if you encounter any problems when trying to enter the game, try to do everything in accordance with the above instructions, which will be suitable for your situation.
