The ambitious strategy and management game Mohrta has arrived, and players are diving deep into its intricate world-building systems. While the launch has been largely successful, a number of players—especially those who participated in the earlier Steam Next Fest demo—are encountering some common technical issues that can disrupt the experience.

As seasoned veterans of PC launches, we've compiled the definitive guide to resolving the most prevalent problems, from broken keybinds and a missing HUD to startup crashes. These developer-confirmed and community-tested solutions will get you back to managing your fledgling empire without the frustration.

The Number One Fix: Delete the Old Demo Config File

The overwhelming majority of control and interface bugs reported by the community stem from a conflict with a leftover configuration file from the Mohrta demo. If your keybinds are unresponsive, your controls are completely wrong, or your HUD is missing, misplaced, or scaled incorrectly, this is almost certainly the cause.

The game is trying to load outdated settings from the demo, which are incompatible with the final release build. The solution is to force the game to generate a fresh, clean configuration file.

How to Safely Delete the Mohrta Config File:

  1. Exit the Game: Make sure Mohrta is completely closed. Check your system tray to ensure the process isn't lingering in the background.
  2. Open File Explorer: Press the Windows Key + E on your keyboard to open a new File Explorer window.
  3. Navigate to the Config Folder: In the address bar at the top of File Explorer, paste the following path and press Enter: %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Mohrta
  4. Delete the INI File: Inside this folder, locate the file named mohrta-config.ini. Right-click on it and select "Delete." (We recommend making a backup copy on your desktop first, just in case).
  5. Relaunch the Game: Start Mohrta again through Steam. The game will fail to find the old file and automatically create a new, default mohrta-config.ini.

This single procedure should instantly resolve most major keybinding and HUD display errors, restoring the game to its intended state.

Fine-Tuning Your HUD and Controls Manually

If deleting the config file helped but your interface still doesn't feel right, or if you simply want to customize your layout, you can make adjustments in the game's settings menu.

HUD Scaling and Adjustment:

Some UI elements may not scale perfectly for every monitor resolution or aspect ratio.

  • In-Game Settings: Navigate to the Settings > Interface or Settings > Graphics menu. Look for a "UI Scale" or "HUD Size" slider. Adjust this to find a comfortable size for your display.
  • Quick-Keys: Some players have noted that the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the numpad can adjust the UI scale on the fly during gameplay, allowing for quick and easy fine-tuning.

Remapping Keybinds:

After a config reset, some of your custom keybinds may be gone. Head to the Settings > Controls > Keybindings menu. Here, you can re-map any action to your preferred key or mouse button.

Troubleshooting Other Common Launch Issues

If your problems persist or you're experiencing different bugs, work through these essential PC troubleshooting steps.

Game Freezes on the Tutorial Screen

A few players have reported getting stuck on the initial tutorial pop-up, unable to close it.

  • Try Common Keys: First, try pressing Esc, Enter, and Spacebar to close the window.
  • Restart and Verify: If that fails, close the game completely. Before relaunching, use Steam's built-in repair tool. This is a critical step for fixing many game-breaking bugs.
    1. In your Steam Library, right-click on Mohrta.
    2. Select Properties.
    3. Go to the Installed Files tab.
    4. Click on "Verify integrity of game files..."

    Steam will scan for and re-download any corrupted or missing files, which often resolves startup freezes and crashes.

Crashes on Startup or Poor Performance

If Mohrta won't launch or is running poorly despite meeting the system requirements, the cause is often external to the game itself.

  • Update Your Graphics Drivers: This is the most important step. Outdated drivers from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel are the leading cause of performance and stability problems with new game releases. Visit your graphics card manufacturer's website to download and install the latest version.
  • Disable Overlays: Overlays from applications like Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, or even the Steam Overlay itself can sometimes conflict with new games. Try disabling them one by one to see if it resolves the issue.
  • Run as Administrator: Locate the game's executable file in its installation folder, right-click it, and select "Run as administrator" to bypass potential permissions issues.

Mohrta Launch FAQ

Q: Why are my controls completely broken in Mohrta?

A: This is the classic symptom of an old demo configuration file. Follow the steps in our guide to navigate to Documents\My Games\Mohrta and delete the mohrta-config.ini file. This fixes the issue for nearly everyone.

Q: My HUD is invisible or tiny. How do I fix it?

A: First, delete the config file as detailed above. If the problem continues, check the "Interface" settings in-game for a UI scaling option. You can also try using the + and - keys on your keyboard to adjust the size directly.

Q: Do my save files from the demo carry over?

A: No. The demo and the full release are different builds, and save files are not compatible. To ensure a stable and bug-free experience, you must start a new campaign in the full version of the game.

Q: The game crashes right after I click "Play" in Steam. What can I do?

A: This is almost always a driver or software conflict issue. First, update your graphics card drivers to the latest version. If that doesn't work, verify the integrity of your game files through Steam. Finally, try disabling any overlays you have running.

Q: Where can I get official support and find patch notes?

A: The best places for the latest information are the official Mohrta Steam Community Hub and the game's official Discord server. The developers are active in both locations, providing patch notes, tracking known issues, and engaging with the community.
