(Help) MK1 Early Access not launching and or crashing

[Kritikal Error]

I purchased the premium edition of MK1 with 1 week early access, others are able to play, meanwhile mine constantly crashes, or simply does nothing after the MK1 logo before the game actually opens.

I've tried reinstalling, turning off steam input, turning off steam overlay, verifying game files, turning off antivirus, turning off any game recording/capturing software, installed newest NVIDIA drivers, restarting pc, restarting steam, running in admin, updating directx, shoot I've even tried waiting 30 minutes after the box logo, because sometimes the EXE doesn't crash, but still nothing.

This is not acceptable for $110...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and please, DO NOT REPLY TO THE THREAD SAYING SAME, I'm looking for help, not mutuals.

specs: Windows 11, NVIDIA RTX 3070 DUAL OC, Intel I9-10900kf

EDIT:
In short, nothing works, have to wait for the devs to send out a patch.

If anyone is having issues with fps, things in this thread may help improve it. if nothing helps you all, I recommend trying things from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv24rTXeIt0

As for others that can't even get past the first splash box for MK1, I'm afraid we have to wait. In the mean time UPVOTE this support ticket on their website ( https://mortalkombat1.bugs.wbgames.com/bug/MK1-91 ) to help us lessen the wait.

Truly unacceptable behavior from NetherRealm Studios, $110 bucks for week early access and I've already missed out on 2 days worth of gameplay.

EDIT 2:
Downgraded to windows 10, game works now. It's possible there was an app causing the issue that was on my c drive, but either way, this is what fixed it for me.

Go into GeForce Experience, hit "Reinstall Drivers', reset PC, your game should now work.

bro, I CANNOT LOAD THE GAME. fym

[Mita]

I reinstalled the game 3 times, one time I managed to make it work for a few hours, then it stopped working again. I have no idea what to do anymore, this is the worst launch of the game ever! After re-installation of the game, it starts, loads shaders to 99.67% and then it crashes again.

I opened more than 3 support tickets with Warner Bros. stating all the attempted fixes i've done and that this is unacceptable. I have lost all the PAID FOR early-access time that my hard hours at work went towards. When I asked for either compensation, a refund (for the early access paid time), or at least a timeline of when a patch will be out, Warner Bros. replied back saying sorry our support 'cannot give gifts'. It is NOT a gift, you literally have stolen this time from me by releasing unfinished unoptimized garbage. Absolutely despicable practices from a AAA company

No, but its good to know others are experiencing the same thing. It proves its not just your PC but a wider issue.

[Clamcumber]

I'm not having the issues listed here per se, because I fought tooth and nail to get it to sort of work. I gave the vote, though.

♥♥♥♥ is STILL NOT LAUNCHING! Just saw small patch installing, and nope. Nothing. Still not working. Just logo and nothing else. Worse 110 bucks in my life.

The patchnotes for the "Day 1" patch are a joke. Didn't work for me either. I already missed out on all the early access days, but I was hoping that at least today I'd get further than the splash screen. Nope, nada. FFS...
