Mortal kombat x black screen on startup. Mortal Kombat X - complete error guide

Mortal Kombat X - the game does not start, gives a black screen, an error, does not let the menu go further, and God knows what other problems. How to solve it - in our article.

Before you start troubleshooting, check if your computer meets the system requirements.

Minimum system requirements:
OS: Windows Vista/7/8 (64-bit systems only);
Processor: Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.67 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4 GHz;
RAM: 3 GB;
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon HD 5850;
DirectX version: 11;
Free hard disk space: 25 GB;

Recommended system requirements:
OS: Windows 7/8 (64-bit systems only);

Broadband internet connection.

If your hardware meets the minimum requirements, then you have done half the work. Also check and update all necessary software and drivers.

Note: If you are using any assembly of Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 with various tweaks, then we strongly recommend to demolish this rubbish and install a clean image from Microsoft. Otherwise, you can get a lot of errors precisely because of your software, various repackers can put a lot of unnecessary rubbish into the system. If you have done all the things that we advised above, it's time to get acquainted with the list of errors that users most often encounter.

Reboot the computer and check the integrity of the cache in Steam, if the license is, or change the repack / install the latest patch / update.
We do the following in Steam:
1. In the properties of the game, in the updates section, you need to set the background download to "always allow";
2. Next, go to the "add-ons" section, in the same properties, and check the box for each installer;
3. If the download does not start automatically after closing the properties, then right-click on the game (in the library) and click on configure;
4. Perhaps the first two times an error will come out that the game is already running, but you need to continue to select configure (it works for 3 times guaranteed) and the packages will be downloaded.

2. Find your video card and completely uninstall your video driver (on your own: better use display driver uninstaller)
3. Restart your computer
4. Go to the system partition (C:) and delete the NVIDIA folder
5. Download and install the latest nvidia driver and check if physx is the latest version
6. Restart your computer
7. In the folder with the installed MK X, find the folder _CommonRedist

Mortal Kombat X lags, slows down and low FPS

There are a lot of complaints about the fact that the hardware is powerful, but at the same time the game lags and freezes terribly. The fault is a bit of a crooked port, from consoles to PC. With excellent work on some components, it will slow down on others of similar power.

Go into the game, minimize, then open the NVidia settings, there, among all the processes, find the Mortal Kombat X process. Then, in the second paragraph, find and select the NVIDIA High-Performance Processor graphics processor. Next, in the third paragraph, select "Vertical sync pulse" and check the box on. save the settings and restart the game.

Enable Anisotropic Filtering, in the NVidia settings, go to "Install PhysX Configuration", select your graphics processor (video card) there.

We remove the lags. Nvidia geForce Experience

Nvidia geForce Experience looking for MCX and doing optimization. After that, the lags should disappear.

Along with GTA 5, a new part of one of the best bloody fighting games of all time was released on PC. We are talking, of course, about Mortal Kombat. As with any game, not all gamers have had problems launching the game, but as always there is a certain percentage who experience these problems and now we will help such unfortunate people solve them.



Mortal Kombat X error 0xc000007b

We described the error in the topic about GTA, so we advise you to look here to solve it

Mortal Kombat X crashes into the menu

So far, there is no 100% solution to this problem. But you can try:

Close all third-party applications before playing: player, antivirus, torrents, downloaders, browsers, etc.

Check the system for errors with the HijackThis utility

Disconnect the controller and try playing with the keyboard

Run the game as administrator or in compatibility mode


Mortal Kombat X no mouse cursor in game

Occurs usually when using the controller. Even if the controller is no longer in use, the game thinks it is connected. In this case, turn off the game, unplug the controller, unplug the mouse, and plug it back in. Try to launch the game now.


Mortal Kombat X no sound in game

The solution is very simple - just change your audio settings by changing the 5.1 system to stereo. Yes, this game does not support stereo. If this doesn't help, try this again.


Mortal Kombat X freezes, slows down, friezes

This series on the PC began to have problems with optimization from the moment the decision was made to release this series on the PC too. Nobody really knows what to do yet, because the game slows down even on top-end machines.


Also, the problem is that Steam introduces new feature game downloads. Initially, it downloads only a part of the main files for the game, and the rest can be downloaded during the game. The problem is that this does not happen - the game partially downloads, and then just stops loading, which causes crashes and friezes.


1. Wait until the game is completely downloaded.

2.Update your video drivers

3.Make sure that you are not running the game on the built-in video card.

4. Lower your graphics settings, shadows first.

5. Disable V-sync and triple buffering in Nvidia control panel.


Mortal Kombat X msvcr71.dll, msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll

V this case You just need to install it - both versions, 32 bit and 64 bit. The game should start well, or at least not give these errors.


Mortal Kombat X DirectX error: Your video card does not meet the game requirements

The error speaks for itself - your computer, or rather the video card, is too weak to run the game, so the most best solution there will be a hardware update.


Mortal Kombat X what to do if nothing helps:

1. Be patient and put the game a little while the developers polish it with patches, reading angry reviews from gamers.

2.Make sure that you have a 64-bit OS installed and at least Windows 7

3.Make sure that your system is not an incorrect assembly, in which many useful libraries and functions are cut out.

4.Create a new Windows user and see how the game behaves there. If all is well, you need to clean up your Windows profile with HijackThis, Ccleaner, etc. software.

5.Turn off your antivirus before starting the game and turn off all background applications.

6. If the game starts, but performance problems are observed, try increasing the .

7. Update .Net framework, directx, video card drivers. Try reinstalling the said software.

8.Perform a test hard drive, memory. If there are problems with these components, fix them.


For now, we'll end on this note. If you have any questions or solutions - write in the comments.

Greetings to all readers of the site! As you know, a new part of the famous series of cruel fatalities and brutalities has recently been released - Mortal Kombat X. For most users, it goes smoothly, without errors, but not for everyone. In this guide, I will help you solve these problems as much as possible so that they do not appear.

To make it easier to find your problem in this article, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F

Perhaps it's worth starting with the compatibility of system requirements and your PC, then starting the game, and then we'll go sequentially to the rest of the errors.
So, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Mortal Kombat X.

MK X Minimum System Requirements:

    • System: 64-bit : Windows Vista, 7, 8, Win 10
    • CPU: Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz | AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 GHz
    • RAM: 3 GB
    • Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 | AMD Radeon HD 5850
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Hard disk space: 36 GB or more

If your hardware meets the minimum requirements, then you have done half the work. Go ahead.

Won't start, what should I do?

First of all, if your game simply does not start, in most cases only they are to blame - drivers. They need to be updated if you have not done this before - this gives a guarantee of -70% of the disappearance of problems in the future, verified by yourself. Below I have provided a list with links of the most important drivers.

  1. Update DirectX to a more recent version;
  2. Install latest version Microsoft Visual C++ ;
  3. Update your graphics card drivers (AMD). By themselves, the latest drivers for video cards solve a lot of problems, because this is an important component for games, but even here everything can ruin the old drivers, because if they are not updated, they will become the culprits of many problems in games;
  4. Be sure to download the latest version of the .NET Framework.

I would also like to note that if you have a license on Steam, then the integrity of the game cache decides a lot (that is, checking whether all the game files are in place), I advise you to check.

The game does not start, an error occurs with .dll

Now let's figure out what's what.
If you get an error, where there are approximately such words "d3_d11, directx, dx, dxdiag" - this means that it's time to update DirectX - see the link above.

If written "msvc100.dll is missing, run.dll, runtime error" , then you need to install MCV++ Redistributable.

Error 0x0000XXX means you need to update NET Framework - see link above.

And if you see words associated with the name of your video card, something like this "graphic, nvidia, nv, ati, radeon “, then everything is very clear here - update the drivers for your video card (there is a link to Amd above).

These sorties will be damned!

If your MK:X crashed to your desktop for no reason, or vice versa with it, you have come to the right place. Here we will help you to solve these problems as much as possible, so that they do not appear.

In fact, there can be many reasons for crashes, from old drivers to a clumsy repack or missing license files.

  1. Run the game as administrator. This is always a valid option, I advise you to always run applications like this.
  2. Update your drivers- see above.
  3. Check the game for updates. Perhaps an update has been released that fixes many bugs, including yours.
  4. If you have a pirate, then it is quite possible that changing the crack and / or repack will help you. If it doesn’t help, then check the first paragraph of the article, and also update the drivers (links above)

I hope this guide helped you and now you are already stocking up on cookies and pouring tea, before the bloody fatalities :-)

On this note, I hasten to say goodbye, Ferrum747 helped you, good luck!

The problem with running on a PC can be low requirements. First, let's check the minimum:

  • Processor: AMD Phenom X4 or Intel Core i5.
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 5850 or GeForce GTX 660.
  • RAM: from 4 GB.
  • OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and beta 10 - 64 bit only.

Then you need to update all video card drivers. On the official websites of AMD and NVIDIA, you can download the automatic recognition and download program, or manually select a device from the list.

Then we update the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2013 libraries, as well as DirectX and install NET Framework 3.5 or 4. All this can be found on the Microsoft website for free.

If MK X still does not start, then check the following:

  • So that there are no Russian characters on the path to the game folder.
  • If the game is cracked, then disable the antivirus for the duration of the launch, but it is better to delete the old copy and reinstall it with the antivirus disabled.
  • Try to run as administrator (right-click on the launch icon and select the desired item).

Mortal Kombat X bug

Depends on the error code. In some cases, restarting the computer or changing the repack helps. If the license, then in Steam we check the integrity of the files.

Error "0xc000007b" and "D3D Error"

We update all the drivers mentioned above - in most cases it helped. For the second error, you need to go to Steam and enter -dxlevel 81 in the launch settings - it occurs for AMD graphics users.

Black screen and crashes to desktop

If a black screen appears and sounds are heard, then try to switch to windowed mode, change the configuration file in the settings file in the game folder - write -w. If it starts, you can switch to full screen mode by pressing CTRL + Enter.

If Mortal Kombat X crashes to the desktop, then disable all additional software: antivirus, browsers, and more. We lower the settings to a minimum, and AMD owners in Catalyst can also set the highest priority. Special attention pay attention to the system - it should be only 64 bits.

Finally, the release of the game Mortal Kombat X took place, but some players did not have the stability of the game, which is why the last part of the fighting game does not start. If you are also faced with a problem in starting the game, then this material is just for you.

In this article, we will tell you what you need to do to run Mortal Kombat X on a computer and you will be able to understand the reasons for the failure of the game.

By the way, Mortal Kombat X is not the only game with which players have had technical problems. Mortal Kombat X does not work for many players whose computers have little in common and this indicates a high variability of the problem.

Indeed, the reasons due to which Mortal Kombat X may not run on your computer are quite a large number of. Here, a lot depends on your level of understanding of the technical device of the game and what it requires for normal operation.

Below you can see the points in which we outlined ways to fix the problem with the launch of Mortal Kombat X. We started them in order of effectiveness. So, let's finish the chat and let's go!

1 . System requirements

The game Mortal Kombat X by current standards has quite a lot of system requirements and therefore many players with relatively weak computers and laptops are having trouble starting the game.

Check that your computer meets the Mortal Kombat X system requirements:

System: 64-bit Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10 only
CPU: Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 GHz
Memory: 3 GB RAM
video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon HD 5850
DirectX: 11.0

ATTENTION! The game will not run on a video card that does not support DirectX 11. Be sure to check technical characteristics your video card on the Internet. And for those who have Windows XP - the game will not work on it in any case. As sad as it is, it's true.

You should also pay attention to the bitness of the system. The game only supports 64-bit copies of Windows.

2 . Does not start with an error?

Very often, when starting Mortal Kombat X, an error pops up that the player does not understand. We will try to explain to you what's what.

If the error contains words similar to "run.dll", "runtime error", "msvc100.dll is missing", then you need to install MCV++ Redistributable .

If suddenly there are words in the error nvidia, nv, ati, radeon, graphics, then you should install drivers for the video card (Link in the next paragraph).

Remember that the lack of one of the listed components DOES NOT ALWAYS lead to an error. That is why we strongly recommend updating the drivers and software, which we have indicated in this paragraph.

Old drivers sometimes interfere with the launch of Mortal Kombat X.

4 . If you bought Mortal Kombat X from Steam, then you should check the integrity of the game cache (in other words, are all the game files in place). To do this, select the appropriate item in the game properties, in your Steam games library.

If you have a pirate - then try changing the crack for the game. Changing the crack helps a lot.

5 . - Run the game as administrator.

Increase the paging file on the computer

6 . Look at the folder Install or update in the folder with the game or with its installation and install all the attached software from there.

7 . At this point, with a 99% probability, the game should earn you. If this did not happen, then either you did something wrong, or it remains to wait for a patch from the developers with which a solution to the problem will come. And if you again have a pirated copy of the game, it would be better to download another repack.
