Frustrated by a Mortal Kombat 1 Input Glitch? Discover How to Overcome It!

Highlights

Mortal Kombat 1 enthusiasts on PS5 are frustrated with a major input glitch in Practice and Tournament modes, hampering their gaming experience.

Since its release, Mortal Kombat 1 has encountered various challenges, particularly on the Nintendo Switch version which has received criticism for its graphics and performance. Despite NetherRealm's efforts in releasing patches to fix these issues, new problems like the persistent input glitch on PS5 continue to arise.

PlayStation 5 Mortal Kombat 1 enthusiasts are currently facing a unique hurdle, unrelated to the game itself. A major input glitch has emerged, specifically affecting important modes like Practice and Tournament. This unexpected problem has caused frustration as players struggle with commands that are not functioning properly, significantly affecting their gaming experience.

Mortal Kombat 1, the latest addition to the beloved fighting game series, offers a complete reimagining of the game's storyline, building upon the events of Mortal Kombat 11. As with any significant release, Mortal Kombat 1 has faced its own challenges since its September launch. The Nintendo Switch version, in particular, raised concerns due to its less than optimal state, prompting fans to express their dissatisfaction with various issues ranging from subpar graphics to performance problems.

Despite NetherRealm's active release of patches to address various issues in Mortal Kombat 1, users are still facing new problems. On October 15, a user named @TheKompetitor highlighted a specific issue on a platform. They mentioned that while playing Mortal Kombat 1 on PS5 in Practice mode, certain inputs are not accurately recognized. @TheKompetitor further explained this problem through a video, demonstrating how the 'Throw' and 'Kameo' functions in MK1 are typically assigned to the L1 and R1 buttons, respectively. However, when @TheKompetitor switched these functions, assigning 'Kameo' to L1 and 'Throw' to R1, the game failed to acknowledge and adapt to these changes.

In response to this post, another player, @SugarN1p_Gaming, shared their own experience, stating that they encountered a similar issue in Mortal Kombat 1's offline Tournament mode and had to reset the application. Meanwhile, @ChaserAllelujah expressed relief that @TheKompetitor raised this issue, as they also experienced unexpected character movements that they did not input themselves, leading them to question their sanity.

Although the timeline for NetherRealm to resolve the issues in Mortal Kombat 1 is unclear, it is commendable that they have been swift in addressing these concerns. One notable issue was the multiplayer imbalance that favored player one, making it difficult for player two to perform combos. However, within a short span of time, a patch was released to address this advantage for player one, as well as introduce character-specific adjustments to bring better balance to the gameplay. Mortal Kombat 1 can now be enjoyed on various platforms including PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S.
