PC controls mess

[Anigmar]

When you go to Fatalities Practice, Tower Challenges... the custom keyboard controls don't work at all. You have to use the default WASD. This makes it impossible to play the game for anyone who needs a custom keys scheme. This happenned too in MK9 but I expect this time they fix it. It's not just lazy programming but a disrespect to the PC community and in particular towards people with disabilities who can't enjoy the game cause of this.

Meh, just hook up a controller.

First of all, if they allow key rebind they should work anywhere, not just in some sections. It's not a 'controller only' game.

Second, some people don't like controllers, and if there's the option of using keyboard instead, why should I not use it?

And third, many people with disabilities play this game using keyboard rebinds. Are you gonna tell us (yup, I'm one of them) to not play cause the devs messed up the controls? We are just asking them to fix a bug or design flaw, nothing more.

pause during a match and go to controller presets and confirm your buttons but you have to do this everytime you launch MK

I can't even use my keys to rotate/select towers and characters. My custom keys are saved in the options menu. It's just ignoring them in most sections. MK9 had the same issue, how come they haven't noticed and fixed it?

The game will crash if you try to remap the buttons on any controller.

I totaly agree with this topic. And to elaborate that there is no other solution except for developers to FIX it is this.

Oh, just plug in controler DOESn'T WORK! same problem injustice had. Sometimes controlers show A, B, Y, X (xbox controler)...oh now what i do have to have EXACT controler you intended? and i rebind it it still doesn't show numbers or colors (which are PS standarnized)...but sometimes, without apparent reason, game things it's cool to switch scheme at quicktime sequence..and display it wrong..so it says press 4,,,you press 4 and you fail. how would i know that 4 is actually 1 now, and 2 is 3 and so on so on...this is really outrageous.

ofcourse to backup that keyboard binding isn't good either is the fact that you have 4 preset (and don't need it) but yet again presets are randomly mixed and switched from time you run the game to the point of actually playing a fight. In menu directional buttons works..select figher is suddnely default binding WASD. and than again you confirm stance with Ent but than you have to press J..oh coomon...this is bu11$#1t

I have remapped all the keys without a single crash.

Exactly. They didn't do a proper job, we don't have to shut up and swallow it.

You can remap the keyboard controls just fine but when you go into the keybind menu with a controller it instatly crash's, also doesnt work with the arcade stick since it's technically a 360/ps3 controller as well

[Cave Waverider]

This really should be fixed!

[Rainglass]

this is horrible news i use keyboard for the mortal kombat games and i change the keys

[Anigmar]

I've tweeted at Netherrealms, some of their devs, even TotalBiscuit and AbleGamers to get the media involved. Let'see what happens.

I love when the on screen prompts are telling me to hit X,Y,B but on my arcade stick that translates to A,Y,X because i cant change the keybinds for controllers and ofc the triggers are reversed and on the other side of the arcade stick so its awkward as ♥♥♥♥ to do in combination for EX moves. Guess im playing with default 360 controller until this ♥♥♥♥ is fixed.

THe dafeault keys in menus and towers unfortunately were to be expected (that's how it was in both MK9 and IGAU). The problems are more serious this time:
I'll retype what I've written in another thread:

It looks like there are some serious problems with keyboard controls.

For starters, the Esc key doesn't work in some menus. I can use Enter and Esc to go through graphics menu options but there seems to be no way to exit factions or key binding menu (if I get a prompt with "Enter to confirm or Esc to cancel" then Enter works but Esc doesn't).
No problems when navigating with a controller.

Furthermore some keys like :, {, ? etc. are not bindable, even though ; is the default for block.
I also can't pause during the fight. Neither Esc nor usual NRS game 1 works.

You also have to use a workaround to set NumPad 6 for first preset (it automaticcaly cancels if player 2 is using it).

And yes, I do have a controller but I find keyboard more comfortable.

JW but are you able to change the controller binds(not the keyboard bindings) or does it instantly crash? Wondering if its like that for everyone or i just need to reinstall or something.
