[Updated] Mortal Kombat 1 'Sindel' subtitles showing as a code ('MK12_148_154.11'), issue under investigation

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on September 18, 2023) follows:

Mortal Kombat 1 players are reporting a subtitle issue involving Sindel in chapter 11, instead of displaying words, an absurd code is appearing in the subtitles.

Players shared their experiences with this issue on various social media sites such as Reddit and X.

When sindel said MK12_148_154.11 it really moved me. mortal kombat writers really are the best in the genre. (Source)

Idk if this is one of the fixes but subtitle error on Syndel chapter in story mode but could’ve just been for me (Source)

MK 1 is a newly released reboot of the beloved fighting game franchise, Mortal Kombat. The game features multiple chapters in its story, each focusing on various characters from its roster.

In chapter 11 of the story, which centers around the character Sindel, there is an issue (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) with the subtitles during a dialogue sequence between Sindel and Reiko.

Instead of showing Sindel’s dialogue, “Know that it will cost you your life,” the subtitles display an absurd code: MK12_148_154.11.

Interestingly, this code mentions the game’s name as MK 12 (Mortal Kombat 12) instead of MK1. While MK1 was originally the 12th installment chronologically, it was reverted to the first installment due to being a reboot.

Official acknowledgment of the Sindel subtitles code issue has been provided by the support team at NetherRealm Studios.

According to their statement, the issue is currently under investigation:

During the cinematic before the fight with Sindel and Reiko there is missing text in the subtitles and is instead replaced with MK file name. It is supposed to say something to the effect of “know that it will cost you your life” (Source)

With this official acknowledgment, it is expected that the issue will be resolved in the near future.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on any further developments.

05:17 pm (IST): Unfortunately, the error code ‘MK12_148_154.11’ still continues to trouble players in Mortal Kombat 1.

05:18 pm (IST): Some players (1, 2, 3) are having so much fun making memes on this bug that they don’t even want it to get fixed.

07:18 pm (IST): One player believes that the code ‘MK12_148_154.11’ in the ‘Sindel’ subtitles may be the name of the audio file for that scene.

Saw that watching Max’s stream when the game dropped. Likely the name of the audio file for that particular scene.
