mortal kombat does not launch

[RFT I Smouferez]

When launching Mortal kombat 1, I will have a black screen. And in the task manager, he writes that the game "does not respond"

I have the same issue, I'm trying to find it out but if you find out lmk please, i'll do the same

you can try this, it worked for me (3060 laptop, i5-12500H)

do the following:

Press WINDOWS + R
type: msconfig
go to BOOT section
go to ADVANCED OPTIONS
check NUMBER OF PROCESSORS
Set 4 cores
Restart your pc
Check if your game is fixed by this

You can also change the MK12 cores, without decreasing them in system:

Found a better solution for black screen fix (12th intel gen processor users)

Instead of changing cores for system, we can change it for just an app.



1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mortal Kombat 1



2. Create a shortcut of MK12.exe



3. Right click on the created shortcut, select Properties



4. In the Target section: copy and paste this:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /B /affinity 0xFF "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mortal Kombat 1" start MK12.exe



5. Save this and START THE GAME VIA A SHORTCUT



REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SHORTCUT IN THE SAME FOLDER AS MK12.EXE



If needed setup MK12.exe to run as admin.



This command makes the game use 8 cores.

thanks for that, actually helped out getting passed black screen now it's just preparing shaders
