Crash to desktop while doing towers?!
Why the hell am I crashing to desktop just doing basic ass towers? I want to give this game a chance I hope patches are coming out soon. Loss for words.

It's a GPU issue, it happens both in Klassic and invasion towers.

Until they patch it/optimise it, here's a quick fix, if you want to keep playing :
Go to c:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\MK12\Saved\Steam\Config\WindowsNoEditor

There, find the file "GameUserSettings"

In it, find "sg.TextureQuality", and set the value to 2 or 3 (instead of 1)
Save the file, then open this file's properties and tick the box "Read only".

Launch the game, try a tower and see if it works.

I appreciate your attempt mate. Ran a tower and it just froze after third fight then CTD.... so frustrating and wish they would give us a damn update for when and details of a patch update. Feel like PC players are getting shafted and the console players are laughing.

So update on my game doing work arounds. Ended up running -dx11 in the startup field in the game in steam seems to have fix the issue with no crashes so far. Completed Novice tower and Warrior without a hitch and that is shining some light on a situation that I thought would never be able to be resolved. Hope it helps you guys plus ill give a link to how I found out how to do all this in this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv24rTXeIt0

Side note I did not do all of these just the general ones and page file ones as well. Fight on!

I can also state that this is the only issue causing me frustration with this game. Being able to play the damn thing without crashing randomly would be nice.

I hear ya man. I'm running and older nvidia card and when I put -dx11 in the run field in steam on launch for the game it fixed everything. Good luck and I hope you get to be able to play frustration free like me now!. Only thing I have a problem with now is it will go "You have lost konnection to the network" Which I hope they iron that out.

-dx11 didn't help. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken.

I have fixed several NRS titles that all randomly crashed on me over the years by setting more virtual memory than the windows default.

I personally doubled the default virtual memory every time I set it

I already did on this rig for MK11. I first learned about this with Injustice 2.

But def worth trying as long as you look into it first

I have had 1 crash maybe in 100+ hrs, I do have other issues tho like controller that randomly disconnects and its driving me nuts ( I am not 100% sure the latter is indeed MK1 but I am hearing other people w/ same issue)

I'm sorry bro. If you have don't have the patience check out that video I posted. I did like 50% of the stuff he was doing in the video *Im using Nvidia* and it finally worked. I have no frign idea when they will implementing a patch to fix these issues in the meantime.....

Yeah the page file for whatever dedicated drive the game is installed *Mind was an SSD D:* drive didn't even make a difference. Just the -dx11 and possibly updating windows with certain ticks and tacks.

There are so many crashes and issues with this game. The hype is dying so fast after release. Sad
Beelzemon Oct 11, 2023 @ 2:50pm 
Most of the crashes I had came from Invasions.

If you can state exactly what its doing I can try and help you work around if you have the patience. If not then I guess we wait for them to actually give 2 cents about the pc playerbase.

I can confirm that doubling the page file fixed the crashes on towers and everything even with Ultra Textures. I have 12 GB DDR3 ( 12288 MB ) / GTX 1070 8GB and the page file was 12288 MB. I set it manually to 24576MB. Also the page file is not on the system drive but where the game is installed (e:). Hope that helps.
I did basically the same thing along with -dx config and it works flawless now. I hate that we have to fight to fix their game although. Good your working and fighting brother!
