Mortal Kombat 1’s crash logs are taking up ludicrous amounts of SSD space on PC

Mortal Kombat 1’s crash logs are eating up the storage of players

If you have been playing Mortal Kombat 1 on Steam, you have notices that your system’s storage space has been slowly disappearing. PC gamers have uncovered that Mortal Kombat 1 is creating huge crash logs, and we mean HUGE! Players are reporting single crashdumps are over 1GB in size, and they are adding up to become a huge storage problem.

A PC gamer called X-Azeez reported the issue on X. After this report, several Mortal Kombat 1 players found their their system’s crash logs were taking up over 40GB of space, with one user claiming that their logs took up 64GB of storage.

WB Games has confirmed that they are now working to fix this bug with a future game update. For now, PC gamers can reclaim their lost storage space by manually deleting these crash logs. Mortal Combat’s crash logs are located at “C:/Users/[Your User Name]/AppData/Local/CrashDump“.

Everytime MK1 crashes on PC, it creates a report automatically, and stores 1GB of space for each report LOL.

On PC, Mortal Kombat 1 already takes up a huge amount of storage. The game’s PC system requirements list 100GB as a minimum requirement, which is a lot of SSD space. Add on these huge crash logs, and this game’s storage requirements are increased to even more ludicrous hights.

With storage requirements like these, it makes sense why SSD manufacturers are working to create higher capacity SSDs. Samsung has recently launched a 4TB version of their 990 PRO drive. High storage requirements are becoming more and more common, but will high capacity SSDs become more mainstream?
