Graphics stuck to medium only

[EspadaSenpai]

Hello guys, why is that I can only play this game in medium while I can play MK11 at ultra settings fine 50 ~ 60fps which was visually impressive. But somehow this game i'm stuck at Medium only lol.
Any help about tweaking and stuff to unlock high graphics would be truly appreciated.
Thanks.

Notably, it seems to track which GPUs you've used.

Also, there is some secret benchmark data under PC. When I benchmark it, I get 60 FPS. Seems like there's probably a hidden benchmark while processing shaders that gets trash FPS...

Thanks so much man, I just wanna see what changes in the file depending on different gpus.
NRS really doing their job smh, big brain idea of locking graphics depending on gpus ffs

Sounds about right. Oh, and on a system rocking 65 GB system memory, AMD Ryzen 5 7800X3D, and a Radeon RX 7900XTX... smh

I will say, at least they're one of the few AAA companies you can expect a decent game out of. Sure they have BS like this, but I mean, at least it runs day 1 and has excellent graphics and performance... if they let you use them... ugh

how do you access your GameUserSettings.ini file?

Hey, BTW, just noticed that the Gist link I have you was not working right. This one should give you the correct file: https://gist.github.com/TriVoxel/9556713dcd6419bd596115b5a124815e

Any luck getting settings unlocked? I haven't, even after just deleting the game save data and clearing the shader cache.

On Windows, I think you gotta go to C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\MK12\Saved\Steam\Config\WindowsNoEditor

On Linux/Steam Deck, it's ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1971870/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/MK12/Saved/Steam/Config/WindowsNoEditor

Wait, so you're telling me they override the config file anyways, probably based on some hidden performance test we don't get to see or understand?

For me, the game lags heavily in that shader compiling screen that shows up. I wonder if they chose to benchmark the FPS while it's compiling shaders... lmfao

yes, they are some stuff they hide so that we can't bypass the GPU checking

Have u tried doing a clean install of the GPU drivers? I always do that with driver updates and when I relaunched the game it redid the shader compile process all over again. My settings were on max and it stayed that way.

I believe it wont go above medium if your graphics card has less than 8gb of vram

It will - 6gb vram here and can mess/run any setting

[ShRyOo]

you need to use dlss or any upscaling to fix it

[RavenHunter]

Video cards with less than or equal to 4gb of vram are limited to low or medium only. Sucks but there îs nothing u can do.

From above 4 , You can change more settings
