Mortal Kombat 11, as the name suggests, is the eleventh iteration in the Mortal Kombat franchise. The game has finally arrived on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch yesterday. Having its roots in 1992, the Mortal Kombat Franchise has been growing for 25 years. The Mortal Kombat Saga continues with the eleventh iteration of the game and takes off where the prequel ended in terms of story. Today, I will show you how to fix Mortal Kombat 11 Memory Crash issue on PC.

Unfortunately, as with many newly released PC games, Mortal Kombat 11 has been experiencing some stability issues. These will hopefully be fixed in an upcoming patch but for now, you can do a few things to mitigate the problem. Many players have reported that their game crashes displaying an “Out of memory” crash error. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have insufficient RAM it can happen on well-equipped systems as well. This problem has more to do with the game than the system itself.

How To Fix Mortal Kombat 11 Memory Crash Issue on PC

Here is how you fix it by increasing the virtual memory of the drive on which Windows is installed.

Open Control Panel of your Windows 10. You can do this by typing control panel in the search bar next to the windows logo on bottom left.
Now click on system and Security and then click on system.
Now click on Advanced System Settings to the left.
Once you are in “System properties” window, click on settings under “Advanced tab”.
On Performance Options Window under advanced click on Change.
Once you are in the virtual memory window uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
Now, from the list, you will have to select the drive on which Windows 10 is installed.which is C in most cases. Click to select the Custom size button.
Now type the minimum and maximum size of the Pagefile in megabytes (MB) according to the physical memory present in your computer.

Question: How to calculate the initial and max values?
Answer: The initial size is one and a half (1.5) x the amount of total system memory. Maximum size is three (3) x the initial size. So, in this system we have 8 GB (1 GB = 1,024 MB x 8 = 8192 MB) of memory. The initial size would be 1.5 x 8192 = 12288 MB and the maximum size would be 3 x 12288= 36864 MB.

Once you have put the correct values, restart your PC and run MK11.
