[FIX] Low FPS Issues? Fix them now! (Laptops included)

[Cheese]

1. Press Windows button + R
2. Type "%AppData%" and press enter
3. Find MK10 Folder and find 'options.ini'
4. Open options.ini and change these things to these values:
SSAO = false
DepthOfField = false
MotionBlur = false
Bloom = false
ParticleDensity = 0
Antialiasing = NONE
Anisotropy = 0
Texture_Quality = 4294967295
Shadow_Quality = 4294967295

(Fyi, Texture_Quality and Shadow_Quality of 4294967295 is the lowest quality possible. Value of 1 is the highest quality.)

5. Right-click your 'options.ini' file and go to properties and change it to 'read only' once you made these changes
(Note: Going to 'PC video' settings makes you crash. To change settings again, delete 'options.ini'. Running MKX will make you a new options.ini. You can now go to 'PC video' settings and change settings again.)
6. Change resolution in-game (increase fps by lowering resolution to desired fps)
7. Switch to windowed mode in-game (fullscreen mode stutters because of vsync)


****************FOR LAPTOPS****************
If you have dual GPUs (Intel GPU + GeForce GTX M Series), then MKX detection of your dedicated GPU could be an issue:

Unlike some other games, this game detects your hardware through DirectX Diagnostic Tool. In most cases, this tool only detects the intel GPU. Hence why the game tries to run it on the intel GPU.

TO MAKE MKX RUN ON YOUR GeForce GTX M Series:

1. Open Nvidia Control Panel
2. Go to 'Manage 3D Settings'
3. Click on 'Global Settings' Tab
4. Go to 'Preferred graphics processor:' and select your GeForce GTX M Series
(Do NOT put it on 'Auto-select' or MKX will not detect your dedicated GPU)
5. Go to 'Program Settings' Tab and find 'mk10.exe'
6. change 'Vertical Sync' to 'off'


Note: Going to 'Program Settings' tab and changing the GPU for 'mk10.exe' does NOT seem to work for some people. Make sure you change your GLOBAL GPU!
*****************************************************

These changes should make it a bit more playable until a better optimization update comes out.

So my specs are:
Intel i7-2630 processor @ 2.00Ghz
6Gb Memory
Graphics: NVIDIA 540M

When i changed the file to the different values you indicated i´ve found the following things:

Texture_Quality = 1 is actually high texture quality in my game. 2 is very low quality.
Shadow_Quality = 1 doesn't actually turn off shadows (which I imagine would be better performance) .

Performance is still abysmal in game.

Fixed the Texture_Quality and Shadow_Quality values to the correct ones. Thanks.

This will fix the 30FPS cutscenes? Which settings are you using for this?

[lllllllll]

So you basicaly can just go to menu->PC video and do the same..i already had them all low and not impressed to see that my option file was same as the above u posted..

[Cheese]

This will not fix the 30fps cutscenes but it will help reduce some of the mini freezes and stuttering people are having. My guess is that the cutscenes are locked to 30 fps in code.

[Cheese]

@Tsgh, this will actually reduce the texture quality beyond the menu options. So there are options not available to the menu.

[Blackdeth]

The 30fps cutscenes/fatalities/xrays are intentionally locked at 30fps. Im quite sure if you force it higher they won't animate properly.

It's not a bug or something that's broken. It's 30fps on purpose.

This worked for me. I can now play on sky temple without a single frame drop. Game looks ulgy now tho lol.

You can change Texture_Quality to the desired amount from 4294967295 (lowest quality) to 1 (best quality).

See note under #5 for 'PC Video' settings crash

[I < you]

Do you know how I can force the resolution lower than it allows in-game? The lowest the settings allow is 1280x720 on my pc. but, I can't run that well on my old pc. It may run better on 800x600, but when I tried editing options.ini, even setting it to read-only, it just boots up the game and resets it to default settings.

Thank you so much Zlov. You saved me from regretting buying MKX. Thanks to your fix I'm now running a smooth 60 frames in fights. Before that I was maxing out at 20 frames.
