[edit] Demo
The demo of Kingdoms of Amalur is reportedly buggy and not indicative of the quality of the released game.
- The largest bug in the demo is black screen during game play on ATI cards. The UI and game sounds will render, but the rest of the game will not.
- This can be fixed by turning off Post Processing in the graphics options.
- To play with Post Processing you can also force 2X Anti-Aliasing in Catalyst Control Center.
[edit] Graphical Tweaks
[edit] Field of Vision (FOV) Fix
FOV fix is available using the utility Widescreen Fixer and a plugin.
[edit] Adjust Level of Detail for Better Graphics Tradeoff
Using graphics tools (ATI Tray Tools or nHancer) to force a negative level of detail and high quality x16 anisotropic filtering may be a better graphics tradeoff.
- ATI Tray Tools anistropic filtering is better than the option provided by the game.
- Objects look crisper when they appear in the draw distance.
[edit] FXAA Injector Adds Detail
The FXAA injector, initially designed for Skyrim but compatible with DirectX 9 games. Adds significant amount of detail to the game. Available at:
[edit] Multimonitor Support
Not well supported.
[edit] Borderless Fullscreen Windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed mode is natively supported. Set resolution to monitors native resolution, and check "Fullscreen: off" in options. This provides borderless fullscreen windowed mode, allowing seamless Alt+tab and multitasking.
[edit] Save Game Data
[edit] Folder Location
Steam version save game location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\*your number here*\102500\remote\
[edit] Cloud Support
- Origin: Cloud saving can be activated by navigating to the game's information page and clicking the cloud symbol below the game cover.
- Steam: Steam cloud is natively supported by the Steam version of this game, which will sync save game data.
[edit] Save Game Transfer
Game profile names need to be identically named when transferring saves to different accounts or computers. If they are not, then you will need to rename the save file into one that has been 'recognised' by the game. This applies to transferring save data in any combination between computers, profiles, Steam and Origin accounts.
