PC Users Mod ‘Mortal Kombat 11’ to Remove FPS Lock, Add New Characters
Mortal Kombat 11 has brought the gore to gaming once again. However, for PC users, their experience is a little hampered by the fact that their version of the game suffers from some rather annoying performance issues. Batman: Arkham Knight PC fans know this all too well. Luckily, modders are a crafty bunch, and have managed to fix some of the issues to get their version of the game up to its console cousins.
A user by the name of Endri Lauson has cooked up a mod that add adds Ultrawide (21:9) display support to MK11, while also removing the game’s default 30FPS lock on intros, menus, Fatal Blows, Fatalities and the Krypto mode. That unlocked fps is definitely something that PC fighting game fans (which do exist, by the way) will enjoy.
Elsewhere, a Youtuber known as The Game Modding Channel has gone a step further for those wanting to play as Cyrax, Sector or Kronika in the game. It’s not publicly available (yet), but it functions much like earlier mods to Mortal Kombat X, where previously-available characters are replaced by these non-playable characters.
It’s unknown if Cyrax, Sector or Kronika will be added officially in future DLC (although Nintendo Switch users may have already answered that one), but it’ll be fun to mess around with these characters once the mod becomes available.
Mortal Kombat 11 (which we reviewed here) is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Thanks, WCCFTech.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
