The King of Fighters XIII is a singleplayer and multiplayer side view arcade and fighting game in the The King of Fighters series.
The PC version was released 3 years after the arcade and console versions. As a result, it combines the additional features and content of the console versions with the previously arcade-exclusive adjustments of the final arcade revision, The King of Fighters XIII: Climax.[1]

Issues fixed
Graphical artifacts/glitches
- This issue only appears with AMD Radeon cards, updating to the latest driver might fix it.[2]
Game runs too fast
- Game is designed to run with 60 Hz monitor running 60 FPS with Vsync. With higher refresh rates this means game will run faster.
- Sometimes simply playing with fullscreen mode fixes the issue.[3]
- Either cap frame rate to 60 FPS externally or use games internal capper.
Activate cap by running the game with the -r command line argument[citation needed]
