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 saddened to learn that George A. Romero Foundation Founder and President Suzanne Desrocher-Romero has passed away.
GARF shared in a statement on socials, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Suzanne Desrocher Romero. Suzanne passed away of natural causes on June 24 at her home in Toronto after a prolonged illness.”
The statement continues, “Suzanne was the fierce leader of the George A. Romero Estate and The George A. Romero Foundation. She worked tirelessly to preserve George’s legacy. Her work at the foundation will continue to inspire and live on for generations to come. The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Desrocher-Romero founded GARF in 2018, after her late husband’s passing in 2017, and has been a fierce advocate for his legacy and the arts. It was her mission to “strengthen horror as a serious field of global study,” and she was a tremendous fighter on behalf of Romero’s works and supporting new filmmakers inspired by his legacy.
It was Desrocher-Romero who spearheaded the recovery and restoration of The Amusement Park, and, as the person in charge of the George A. Romero estate, worked closely with author Daniel Kraus on completing unfinished novels like Pay the Piper and The Living Dead. She most recently celebrated the restoration of her favorite of Romero’s zombie films, Day of the Dead, and was hard at work producing the upcoming film Twilight of the Dead.
That passionate advocacy led to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero becoming family to Bloody Disgusting as well.
2023 marked the start of an ongoing partnership between Bloody FM and GARF on The Dead, a scripted audio series spanning multiple seasons that saw Desrocher-Romero working closely with the Bloody FM team and mentoring the series’s contributing writers with GARF. To say her loss will be felt internally is an understatement.
“Anytime George Romero is mentioned is good, because what we are doing is to provide a healthy legacy. We’re uplifting his legacy, we’re supporting the archive, and we’re also supporting the Horror Study Center. So, all of these three things are what the Foundation is striving to do. As far as I’m concerned, the more we say George Romero’s name, the better it is,” Desrocher-Romero recently told BD.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of her unwavering enthusiasm for supporting Romero’s legacy and the horror genre, and just a glimpse at how much she contributed to preserving it. She is, in short, an inspiration.
We send our deepest condolences to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero’s family, friends, and GARF.
