Solution:
 |
| Go to data folder in your KOF Ultimate Mugen directory. |
 |
| Find for a file called mugen.cfg |
 |
| Right click mugen.cfg and select Properties. |
 |
| At the Attributes section, you will notice that Read-only is checked. |
 |
| Uncheck the Read-only and click Apply. Then click OK. |
 |
| Open mugen.cfg and scroll down until you find [Video]. Under [Video] you will see Width = 1366 and Height = 768. |
 |
| Change the Width and Height to the value of your screen resolution. For example, 1920 x 1080 is Width = 1920 and Height = 1080. After you are done, save it. |
Alternatively, if you want to play in fullscreen, just chsnge Fullscreen = 0 to Fullscreen = 1.
Save it and run mugen.cfg. Your game will be in fullscreen mode.
Problem 2: Game Runs Slowly
Solution:
 |
| Integrate mugen.exe to run with Nvidia driver. |
For those of you whom are using Nvidia graphics driver, please make sure you are running mugen.exe using High Performance NVIDIA Processor.
Go to your Nvidia Control Panel > 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Add > find and select mugen.exe.
At the Select the preferred graphics processor for this program, select High Performance NVIDIA Processor.
Click Apply and exit the Nvidia Control Panel.
The game should now run at optimum speed.
Problem 3: Black Screen Appears After Logo Screen
Solution:
After running mugen.exe, you should see this screen :
 |
| This screen should appear along with other logos before a black screen appears. |
When the black screen appears, just wait for 3 - 5 minutes for the game to load.
The game WILL load, we have tried this on 10 different PCs and all worked the same.
Until now, we are sorry to say that there is no fix available for the long loading of the game after the black screen.
This problem only appears whenever you run mugen.exe for the first time or shutdown your PC and run mugen.exe again. We probably think that the long loading is due to the high number of characters in the game itself.
The good news is that after the black screen loads, the game runs fast and smooth until you exit the game. Hence, the only long wait is when you first run mugen.exe.
Problem 4: Character Loading Error Followed By Crashing To Desktop
Solution:
This error occurs because of a mismatch in the characters and the mugen.exe.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused as we are trying to make all character work with the game (characters from older versions will need tweaking to work).
Here are the available fixes for characters:
