FIX : Invasion, specific fight crash

[LouRagou]

So I've figured out a fix when you're completely stuck in Invasion mode because the same fight keeps crashing over and over again (usually it's endurance fights that generate loads of visual effects, against Shang Tsung, Havik, some bosses, it usually starts happening a lot at Shang Tsung's Lab).

Go to c:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\MK12\Saved\Steam\Config\WindowsNoEditor

There, find the file "GameUserSettings", open it,

Then, find "sg.PostProcessQuality" and set the value to 0.
Save the file, open its properties, then tick the "Read only" box.

Start the game.
This fix usually prevents your game from getting blurry in invasion mode near towers, fixes the stuttering during the Ambush intro (shattering glass), and it keeps stage effects from generating way too much visual clutter, that should keep you out of those specific crashes.

Now you can continue your progression through Invasions.

I just crash randomly in invasions lol

Thanks dude,finally I managed to complete Invasion 100% with all this settings tweaking ♥♥♥♥.This fight in Shan's tower was the only one I skipped bcs of 100% crash rate. Btw setting 1 works too,at least for me

Yay, I'm happy you just did !! :D I'll try getting to the end, there's still a lot for me to do.

And yeah unluckily, all those fixes don't keep the game from still crashing randomly. But it's baby steps toward getting somewhere with the game at least

It didn't work on mine, its crashing right on the beginning on cages house when I try to start any fight.

But good fact that you can actually play nad complete this mode.Btw there are couple random fights,esp on last location,where game crashes on high textures,but on low you can compelete those fights

Yeah fighting against 3 foes in a row (endurance fights) are always high risk of crashing to me. Also I'm noticing the longer I play, the higher the risk is - it usually happens for sure after about 45 min or so. But yeah I'll lower the settings if I'm ever stuck on one of these :)

Ouch, Cage's house is the least demanding of all areas (and I can't test anything there, there's no way to go back when you've completed it).
No judging here, what's your CPU / GPU ? Mine are weak but still managed loading this area.

i've been trying a lot of fixes since i have a 1060 3gb and it seems the game has a problem with this gpu, and while some fixes worked, this one unfortunately didn't, my game still crashes in this specific fight. very frustrating that nrs would release a game in such a wierd state, but oh well

It's fixed, I don't know how, It was fixed for me in the latest updates.

Please help me! I don't know what to do to fix my crash to desktop. I have also redownloaded and reinstalled the game but it still crashes. It crashes only on a movie in invasion mode. I am in a portal that leads to the Tarkatan Colony. The video scene starts and always in the same part of the video the game crashes to desktop
