I've revised the fight against Rayden at the point where it usually desyncs and it seems like it no longer desyncs during that fight anymore unless it does in the beginning.
Worked all the way for me. If others have tried fast-forwarding (tab button) at all, even if just between rounds or something, it will most likely desync at some point.

I think this game needs to be recorded with the "Fake Mute desync workaround" option on, otherwise it won't play back reliably. Also, if "Sync samples with sound CPU" works on your computer, that can help keep synchronization when recording (in my experience, although maybe that is not what really happened and it makes no difference).
I have been wanting to start over because I didn't feel everything was optimized to the fullest potential. And if what Nitsuja says is right then I could storm right on through this game. I'll make a test run and let you know and don't worry this run will get done one way or another but the chances of it being published are pretty bad at least to me they are.
But it seems that the first three levels are bullet-proof as long as there is no speed increase or excessive pausing or something like that.
Edit: With the new options set-up there doesn't seem to be any desyncs and you can also speed through the video! I'll keep you posted and I have officially started over and I am already on level 3.
This game has been known for quite some time to be a major desynch whore.
I haven't checked the WIPs (and I can't do it right now either), but I remember turning off Volume Envelope Height Reading fixing (most of?) the desynch issues, but also makes the music and sfx sound completely crap. Does this movie have that option enabled?
No,Volume Envelope Height Reading is off and the WIPs you see up there are not the ones that I wrote about. I will post one later when I feel it is good enough (pretty much where I am on the desyncing ones).
Edit: The Real First WIP
Thanks to Nitsuja's helpful suggestion there should no longer be any desyncs and you'll be able to speed through and use save states to view it. I started over from scratch and it looks pretty good. Any suggestions will be indubitably noted.
The only sounds I hear messing up are things like explosions and the ending gong not fading out quickly enough. At this is whether or not that "fake mute" option is on or not.

What makes the difference with the sound is "Volume Envelope Height Reading" which causes desyncs like crazy. Also the levels' background music isn't what it should be but I finish the enemy off before it gets annoying.
Hey, thank you very much for all the compliments everyone. Here's something for all of you, another WIP:
Up to Level 8
I tried to do different combos this time around (as you would expect) and if you haven't noticed I'm picking the characters in the order from left to right (excluding Shang Tsung, I'll be using him for the last possible fatality if my math is correct) and I'll be able to do everyone's fatality (I don't know if I mentioned that since I'm lazy to check and I want everyone to know... About the Fatalities).
Yeah, after the countless times I end up having to start over because I loaded the saves in the wrong order (I use a crapload of saves and only 9 seems so limited).
I think I'll just wait for the arcade version.

The WIP2 is nice... I like the fight with sub-zero:
Got freezed on round 1 in the end --- looks cool.
The knock-off-multi-head fatality on round 2 is nice.
Keep the good stuff coming.
I noticed that you didn't use any maximum combo...I don't know if you know... but when you of the one "maximum" combo you fall in the ground...It will probably lose some time... but if you execute it before Finish Him maybe don't waste time...
Try this combo if you morph into Mileena again...
If I would have known about those before I would have used them... <sigh>. By that, I mean, I am already far ahead of the last time I used Mileena and I am sorry that I will not be using them in any previous fights but I might just use Mileena against Shao Kahn. Anyway I have a FINAL WIP before I submit the finished version. It's up to Kintaro (No, I didn't fight him yet. I want to build up the suspense.) and you'll find the finished version on the workbench when it's done.
Once again thank you for the compliments/comments.
Edit: I actually don't think it would be possible to continue Mileena's, second, combo after the uppercut because the computer tends to block a lot on Very Hard, even with the slightest recovery time.
