==Issues fixed==<br />
===Enable CrossFire support===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=CrossFire hack|fix=<br />
In Steam version we need to get rid of the launcher so we can pass a command-line argument to the main exe:<br />
# In game's folder, rename "Layers of Fear.exe" to "_Layers of Fear.exe"<br />
# create a copy of file "Layers of FearSub.exe" named "Layers of Fear.exe"<br />
# rename folder "Layers Of FearSub_Data" to "Layers Of Fear_Data"<br />
# In Steam, right-click the game, click Properties, SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..., and in the text box enter: -window-mode exclusive<br />
# In AMD Radeon Settings game's profile, set "AMD CrossFire Mode" to "AFR friendly"<br />

In Steam version we need to get rid of the launcher so we can pass a command-line argument to the main exe:<br />
# In game's folder, rename "Layers of Fear.exe" to "_Layers of Fear.exe"<br />
# create a copy of file "Layers of FearSub.exe" named "Layers of Fear.exe"<br />
# rename folder "Layers Of FearSub_Data" to "Layers Of Fear_Data"<br />

===Language reset after installing fanmade patches===<br />
{{ii}} Installing fanmade patches will usually reset the game's language to English in the European release. To change the language, enter the "System" folder on the CD. 3 folders named 0, 1 and 2 can be found there, containing the English (0), French (1) and German (2) language files respectively. In order to manually change the game back to the desired language, copy the desired folder somewhere and manually change all the file endings to .eng from .fre or .ger (i.e. HPcredits.ger renamed to → HPcredits.eng), then copy and paste the folder content into the "System" folder of the game's directory and overwrite everything.<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
===The game fails to start===<br />
{{ii}} The game requires a form of DRM, known as SafeDisc implemented in secdrv.sys. Unfortunately, it is a gaping security flaw, and evidently couldn't be fixed without being removed. Microsoft disabled it in Windows 7 and removed it in Windows 10. The following has been tested in Windows 7 to work.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Temporarily start SafeDisc service|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the installation folder.<br />
# Create a new Windows batch file (extension .bat) and insert the following:<br />
<br />
<pre>@echo off<br />
sc config secdrv start= demand & sc start secdrv<br />
start System\HP.exe<br />
timeout /NOBREAK /T 1<br />
sc stop secdrv & sc config secdrv start= disabled<br />
@echo on</pre><br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This effectively reopens the security hole, starts the game, and then patches the vulnerability again after 1 second. You'll likely need to run the script in Administrator mode.<br />
{{ii}} You can experiment with different timings if 1 second turns out to be too short on your system.<br />

{{Introduction<br />
|introduction = '''''Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut''''' is a {{Glossary:Survival horror}} game developed by [[Company:Team Silent|Team Silent]], ported by [[Company:Creature Labs|Creature Labs]], and published by [[Company:Konami|Konami]]. It is the second installment in the ''[[:Series:Silent Hill|Silent Hill]]'' series.<br />
|release history = The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 on September 21, 2001 worldwide. The game later received an extended ''Director's Cut'' version on PlayStation 2 as a Greatest Hits re-release, Xbox, and PC, which added a new ''Born from a Wish'' scenario, a secret UFO ending, and for the PC version, a quick-save function, real-time weapon swapping, and a movie gallery. The PC version also features improved flashlight lighting like in the Xbox port, however, it also has a number of inaccuracies, missing or downgraded effects, and lower audio and {{Term|FMV}} quality than previous versions.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nna2yt1c9gI&t=723|title=DF Retro: Silent Hill 2 - Horror Perfected on PS2/Xbox/PC/PS3 - YouTube|date=2020-11-01}}</ref> It also has compatibility issues with newer versions of Windows and hardware (see [[#Issues fixed|here]] for details).<br />
|current state = There have been growing efforts by modders to fix the issues with the PC version, starting with [https://github.com/emoose/sh2proxy sh2proxy] by emoose to address compatibility issues and implement widescreen support for the game. It has since been succeeded by [http://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/ Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition], a community-driven project for the PC version that restores features from the original PlayStation 2 version, adds support for HD and widescreen resolutions, improved controller support, and other quality-of-life improvements.<br />

==Issues fixed==<br />
===Audio stutters endlessly or stops completely===<br />
{{ii}} The game comes with a buggy, beta version of CRIWARE audio middleware that has issues running correctly on multicore processors.<br> [[#Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition|Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition]] includes a custom reimplementation of this audio engine to fix this issue.<br />

<br />

===Opening the launcher===<br />
After the first time launching the game, the launcher won't show up again rendering the player unable to reconfigure the settings.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Windows version|ref=<ref name="2022-03-19">{{Refcheck|user=Nessy|date=2022-03-19|comment=}}</ref>|fix=<br />
Use the <code>-setup</code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]].<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Linux version|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
On GOG.com's Linux version, the {{File|start.sh}} located in the install directory has to be modified to access the launcher. In the script, there is an option to edit how the game is launched. Look for <code>default() {</code> and change the lower line <code>run_game</code> to <code>run_settings</code>. After that, the game launcher starts as default, but it can be changed back.<br />

<br />
===ZolikaPatch===<br />
{{ii}} Removes forced V-sync and the 100 FPS cap. <br />
{{ii}} Fixes the zoomed in FOV, stretched HUD elements in widescreen resolutions and widescreen scaling.<br />
{{ii}} Option to skip intro videos and the 5 second wait on copyright screen.<br />
{{ii}} Option for borderless windowed mode.<br />
* Doesn't work in Zoom Platform release.<br />
* Uncapping the framerate can cause minor issues with car engine sounds, very high framerate makes car deform more easily.<br />

<br />
===Fix Packs===<br />
{{++}} [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1633394421 Complete FixPack]. A patch that includes startup hang patch, ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix, a high-res texture pack, different options for video wrappers and other fixes.<br />

===York begins mumbling at sidequest 20===<br />
When York is talking to Lilly in the Milk Barn for the third and final storage room sidequest, York begins mumbling during the conversation.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3xnFRilSJ8|title=York has a stroke|date=May 2023}}</ref><br />

There are no known fixes for this, although this is a very minor glitch and does not prevent the player from doing the sidequest.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Smoke a (in-game) cigarette|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
* Throughout the game when dealing with consistent crashes in specific places, fast-forwarding time with cigarettes can prevent crashes. Chapter 9 is notorious for being one of the worst offenders as it can crash in multiple spots such as immediately after the chapters begins, attempting to leave the gallery, after leaving the diner and possibly more. [https://www.mediafire.com/file/928oomih9gs62zv/DPch8-9.zip/file Here's] a few savefiles starting from Chapter 8 that can help get through the chapter in case no backup was made beforehand.<br />
* In Chapter 9, after Olivia gives York the "Key to Back Yard" in the diner, it is common for the game to crash during the cutscene outside, right after York says, "Let's hope it's not just something for the gossip columns". Many users have reported that smoking a cigarette (in-game) in the diner for an hour or two (about 13:00) before leaving the diner will help prevent the crash.<br />

====Crash during cutscene after Episode 1, Chapter 3 Hospital Level====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set the game to windowed mode, or download a gamesave after the cutscene|ref={{cn|date=November 2016}}|fix=<br />
After the encounter with the shotgun enemies in the hospital level, the game will load, and as it starts to play a new cutscene, will crash. Setting the game to windowed mode in the launcher seems to fix this, but the cutscenes must be skipped, or they will freeze. [https://www.mediafire.com/?5uu299dby3n61u5 Here] is a savegame directly after the cutscene, and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcqH4YENamM&t=54m50s here] is the cutscene that you missed.<br />

The cutscenes should be skipped to avoid this.<br />

===Render Creation Failure===<br />
{{ii}} This issue often occurs with users who have a corrupted install of the [[#Unofficial patches|MGE XE]]. If this is the cause, it can be resolved by reinstalling the mod correctly.<br />

* Outdated graphics card drivers. In this case, the user must update their drivers to the latest version, available from their respective manufacturer's website.<br />

===Render Creation Failure===<br />
{{ii}} This issue often occurs with users who have a corrupted install of the [[#Unofficial patches|MGE XE]]. If this is the cause, it can be resolved by reinstalling the mod correctly.<br />
However, the issue may also be caused by the following:<br />
* The system does not meet the minimum [[#System requirements|system requirements]] for Morrowind, or is using an unsupported video card.<br />
* Outdated graphics card drivers. In this case, the user must update their drivers to the latest version, available from their respective manufacturer's website.<br />

====Graphics====<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47469/ Intelligent Textures] - AI upscale of vanilla textures with fewer upscaling and compression artifacts than Morrowind Enhanced Textures (see below)<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/100/images/47469/47469-1588350453-1372567136.jpeg Morrowind Enhanced Textures 4.1 vs Intelligent Textures 2.0|title=|date=2021-06-22}}</ref><br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46221 Morrowind Enhanced Textures] - AI upscale of vanilla textures which provides significantly more detailed and natural-looking textures than Intelligent Textures.<br />

* [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/36873 Better Dialogue Font] & [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44540 Better Daedric Font] - high resolution replacements for Morrowind's Magic Cards font, used in most of the UI and for the Daedric font used in scrolls. Both mods have a special version for Polish fonts compatibility.<br />
<br />
====Gameplay====<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47588 Expansion Delay] - delays Tribunal's Dark Brotherhood hit on the player significantly and adds sanity check.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46596 Better Balanced Combat] - modernizes combat by removing the dice roll hit chance and changing parts of the game that were built around it. Includes other popular gameplay tweaks. Compatible with Tamriel Rebuilt and Morrowind Rebirth.<br />

{{++}} Disables frame capping during loading screen to accelerate loading speed.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Installation and configuration|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28143|title=Dynamic Performance Tuner and Load Accelerator. at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download the archived file and extract {{file|dxgi.dll}}, {{file|dynaperf.ini}} and the corresponding {{file|fallout4-addresses-x.x.x.x.ini}} file depending on your game version to game directory.<br />
# If no corresponding {{file|fallout4-addresses-x.x.x.x.ini}} file is available for your game version either read the mod description page to create a new memory configuration file for your game version or download one that has been already created for your game version by the community. (e.g. [https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/33632 Configuration Files For Dynamic Performance Tuner And Load Accelerator] mod)<br />
# Open {{file|dynaperf.ini}} with a text editor and modify the following key settings:<br />
:* <code>fTargetFPS=[60]</code> - Target FPS is the highest FPS that the game will be allowed to run at, and is also the baseline for 100% load.<br />
:* <code>fShadowDirDistanceMin=[2500]</code> - Minimum possible shadow distance. (e.g. <code>3000</code> from the Low quality preset)<br />
:* <code>fShadowDirDistanceMax=[12000]</code> - Maximum possible shadow distance. (e.g. <code>20000</code> from the Ultra quality preset)<br />
:* <code>bLoadCapping=[0/1]</code> - Setting it to <code>1</code> enables frame capping during loading screens which disables the loading speed acceleration.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{--}} Since the values are changed dynamically by modifying the values in-memory, the mod is version-dependent and each update in the game executable requires a new memory mapping.<br />
{{ii}} To use it with [[ReShade]] graphics mod rename ReShade's {{file|dxgi.dll}} to {{file|dxgi_linked.dll}}.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?showtopic=6182558/#entry55512208|title=Dynamic Performance Tuner and Load Accelerator. - Page 2 - File topics - The Nexus Forums|date=2019-01-16}}</ref><br />

====[http://enbdev.com/download_mod_fallout4.htm ENBoost]====<br />

# [http://enbdev.com/download_mod_fallout4.htm Download] the latest version of ENBoost for Fallout 4.<br />
# Unzip all files from the {{file|Patch|folder}} folder in the archive into the installation folder.''<br />
# Open {{file|enblocal.ini}} with text editor, modify the following values:<br />
<br />
:* <code>ApplyStabilityPatch=[false/true]</code> - Stability fixes, the effectiveness varies from user to user. If this worsens the performance, set to <code>false</code>.<br />
:* <code>UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=[false/true]</code> - Recommended to enable for maximum performance.<br />
:* <code>ForceVideoMemorySize=[false/true]</code> - Allocates more video memory from RAM and the pagefile.<br />
::* <code>VideoMemorySizeMb=[RAM + VRAM - 300MB for SSDs, '''''or''''' the [http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm VRamSizeTest] result - 300MB for HDDs]</code> - '''''[See Notes]''''' Forces video memory available in Mebibytes.<br />
:* <code>ForceVSync=[false/true]</code> - Different than the game's default Vsync, and helps prevent stuttering and screen tearing.<br />
::* <code>VSyncSkipNumFrames=[0, 1, 2, or 3]</code> - Mainly for users with high refresh rate monitors (>60Hz) and should be set to '0' for other users.<br />
:* <code>EnableFPSLimit=[false/true]</code> - Caps the frame rate to assigned value. This will solve the physics issues relating to high frame rates, may also solve screen tearing.<br />
::* <code>FPSLimit=[61.0]</code> - The frame rate you wish to cap the game at.<br />
:* <code>DisableFakeLights=[false/true]</code> - Disables rim lights for all characters. Has a small performance impact.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} If you use [[ReShade]] or any other tool that uses the <code>d3d11.dll</code> file, rename that tool's DLL file to {{file|dxgi.dll}}.<br />
{{ii}} If the game is installed on an SSD, do not use the VRamSizeTest utility, as it also allocates some HDD space, which can affect your SSD's life.<br />
{{ii}} Use the [http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm VRamSizeTest] utility if the game is installed on an HDD to correctly determine the amount of memory that can be allocated to the game.<br />
{{ii}} Some users report that using the borderless window setting with a frame limit increases FPS stability in the game.<br />

{{++}} This mod allows you to play Fallout 4 above 60 FPS with normal animation speed and without physics bugs.<br />
{{++}} Offers the ability to turn off vertical sync on loading screens to speed up game loading.<br />
<br />
====[https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/56353 Modern minimal HUD]====<br />
{{++}} Designed to reduce visual pollution on screen and have a tactical modern touch to it, it increases the immersive feeling while still maintaining useful features like mission markers and ammo.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.skyrim-beautification-project.com/fallout4/mods/best-of-ultra-dlc/index.htm Best of Ultra DLC Pack]====<br />
{{++}} This mod is a replacement for Bethesda's official 58GB Ultra High Resolution DLC. It contains only the best HD textures, and leaves out the rest. You will get the same image quality with this 6GB mod as well as better performance, due to cutting out textures which were only stretched from original resolution to 4K without any improvements.<br />

This is an "all in one" fix for mouse sensitivity.<br />
This is not just a dummy esp to load an ini. The esp is necessary and contains multiple edits to normalize mouse movement.<br />
This mod has nothing to do with vsync, fps limits or game performance in general, but if you want to read and try out my findings, head down to the optional performance section.<br />

{{Introduction<br />
|introduction = '''''Fallout: New Vegas''''' is a {{Glossary:Singleplayer}} {{Glossary:First-person}} {{Glossary:Open world}} {{Glossary:RPG}} {{Glossary:Shooter}} developed by [[Company:Obsidian Entertainment|Obsidian Entertainment]] and published by [[Company:Bethesda Softworks|Bethesda Softworks]]. The game is not a direct sequel to its predecessor ''[[Fallout 3]]'', but follows events referenced in ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'' and features the return of elements from ''Fallout 2''. The game shares much of its [[Engine:Gamebryo (TES Engine)|engine]] and assets with ''Fallout 3''.<br />
<br />
|release history = <br />
<br />
The game was released on [[Steam]] and at retail (Steam key) on October 19, 2010. A DRM-free version of the game was later released on [[Store:GOG.com|GOG.com]] on June 2, 2017, followed by a release on [[Store:Bethesda.net|Bethesda.net]] on January 16, 2020. The Bethesda.net version features recompiled .exe files, consequently rendering them incompatible with virtually all mods.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5077845-fnv-4gb-patch/page-205#entry81119468|title=FNV 4GB Patch - Page 205 - File topics - The Nexus Forums|date=2020-05-30|snippet=The Bethesda.net versions of New Vegas (and Fallout 3) have been recompiled. This breaks most of the mods made in the last 10 years since NVSE will not work and no one will pick it up and make it work, let alone JIPLN, NVTF, NVAC, Johnny Guitar, Stewies Tweaks, etc.}}</ref><br />
<br />
The game's state on all platforms during its initial launch was widely considered "buggy", "broken" and "unplayable" by critics and players alike.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2010/10/fallout-new-vegas-is-buggy-as-hell-but-wheres-the-outrage/|title=Fallout: New Vegas is buggy as hell; where’s the outrage?|date=2020-05-30}}</ref> However, various official patches were released until July 7, 2011 that alleviated many of these bugs and performance issues.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_patches|title=Fallout: New Vegas patches | Fallout Wiki | Fandom|date=2020-05-30}}</ref><br />
<br />
4 DLC expansion packs were released for the game ('''''Dead Money''''', '''''Honest Hearts''''', '''''Old World Blues''''' and '''''Lonesome Road'''''). Initially. the game also featured pre-order bonuses and paid add-on packs that granted additional in-game items, such as new weapons, armor and ammo types; all of this content was later bundled together in a DLC pack titled ''Courier's Stash''.<ref>[https://wegotthiscovered.com/gaming/couriers-stash-gun-runners-arsenal-fallout-vegas/ Get The Courier’s Stash And Gun Runners’ Arsenal In Fallout: New Vegas].</ref> On February 7, 2012, the game was released as ''Fallout: New Vegas - Ultimate Edition'', bundling the base game with all story expansions and item packs.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/11/03/fallout-new-vegas-ultimate-edition-announced Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition Announced]. Includes all DLC packs.</ref><br />
<br />
|current state = Modding is well-supported using the officially-provided toolkit ''Garden of Eden Creation Kit'' on Steam (in the Steam Library under "Tools" section). Players have produced mods that fix many of the issues with the game post-official support. The largest collection of mods are available from [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/ Nexus Mods] and there is an extensive [https://forums.nexusmods.com/ modding forum].<br />
<br />
As of 2020, bug-fix and stability mods are strongly recommended, even for a first playthrough. See [[#Essential improvements|Essential Improvements]] and [[#Modifications|Modifications]] sections for more information.<br />

<br />
===Improve performance and reduce crashing===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Install DXVK.|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Hammerfist|date=2023-10-05|comment=}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download [https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/ DXVK] (The 2.3 version has been tested, if the latest version doesn't work use [https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.3 DXVK 2.3])<br />
# Place d3d9.dll from the x32 folder into the same folder as the game's exe.<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This helps improve performance significantly, and makes the game more stable and less likely to crash.<br />
{{ii}} THIS WORKS WITH LAPTOP GPUS. One may come across misinformation online claiming that DXVK doesn't work with laptop GPUs. This is false, at least when it comes to version 2.3 and above. DXVK has been tested with Fallout New Vegas on laptops that utilize Optimus (which are the ones that supposedly don't work with DXVK) and DXVK functions as intended.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Disable mouse acceleration|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34690/|title=New Vegas Mouse Acceleration fix at Fallout New Vegas - mods and community|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Edit {{file|{{p|userprofile\Documents}}\My Games\FalloutNV\Fallout.ini}}<br />
# Find the section: <code>[Controls]</code><br />
# Add these lines:<br />
<pre>fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0<br />
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0<br />
fForegroundMouseBase=0<br />
fForegroundMouseMult=0</pre><br />
<br />
This fix should work, opposed to changes to the {{file|fallout_default.ini}} in the game's folder. Also, there is no need to add these lines every time you start up Fallout. Once added, the mouse acceleration should be disabled permanently. The following paragraphs should be obsolete but are kept for archive purposes.<br />
<br />
If this fix doesn't work, load the Fallout: New Vegas launcher and then add the lines to {{file|Fallout.ini}}. However, you will have to add those lines every time you play Fallout. You can also make {{file|Fallout.ini}} read-only, which will prevent mouse acceleration from being reset.<br />
<br />
If this still doesn't work, find the following lines in the {{file|Fallout_default.ini}} and change them to match the following:<br />
<pre>bBackground Mouse=1<br />
iPresentInterval=0</pre><br />

==Issues fixed==<br />
===Rotating Heads/Floating, non-animated NPCs===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set "Actor Fade" to the maximum value in the launcher settings.}}<br />
<br />
===Greyed out options in the launcher/Can't launch game from Launcher===<br />
{{ii}} This happens if the registry isn't correctly edited by the game's installer, or you moved the game to another directory or PC. <br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use Beth Registry (Easiest Fix but windows only)|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003633889-Fallout-New-Vegas-Greyed-out-options-or-missing-Play-button-in-the-launcher-?product=gog|title=Fallout: New Vegas - Greyed out options or missing Play button in the launcher.|date=2023-07-04}}</ref>|fix=<br />

# Open [[Windows#Registry Editor|regedit]].<br />
# Navigate to {{registry|{{p|hklm}}\Software\{{P|wow64}}\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV}}.<br/>Create the key if it does not exist.<br />
# Create a new string value named <code>Installed Path</code>, if it doesn't exist already.<br />
# Set its contents to {{folder|{{p|game}}}} with a trailing backslash (e.g. {{folder|C:\GOG Games\Fallout New Vegas\}}).<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Reinstall the game|fix=<br />
{{ii}} If none of the above fixes work, just reinstall the game. <br />
<br />
If your game is modified and you don't want to lose your files/modifications:<br />
# Make a backup of the modified files (copy and paste them in a temporary place or make a rar file)<br />
# Install the game from scratch [IMPORTANT: In the case of the GOG installer it's very important to choose the directory you will be running the game from as the install directory. Otherwise, the issue will not be fixed]<br />
# overwrite the files that the installer installs with the backed up modded files.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} Linux users will need to tinker with the registry of their compatibility layer of choice (proton, wine, lutris, etc.) if they want to regedit. You will have to follow the same steps as the manual fix but in your compatibility layer's registry instead but it's best to just reinstall the game using the 3rd fix since editing the registry may prove to be problematic on Linux.<br />
<br />
===Random unlit geometry when using Pip-Boy light===<br />
The "[https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69833 Improved Lighting Shaders]" xNVSE plugin may help remedy this, without needing to sacrifice distant light quality.<br />
<br />
Alternatively lowering the "Light Fade" option can help reduce instances of this happening, at the cost of distant lighting being reduced.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69795|title=nexusmods.com|date=9 June 2023}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Unable To Level===<br />
{{ii}} Caused by using the <code>advlevel</code> console command.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=rewardxp console command|ref=<ref>[http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Forum:Advlevel_screwed_up_my_leveling%3F Forum:Advlevel screwed up my leveling? - The Vault, the Fallout wiki]</ref>|fix=<br />
{{ii}} Can be fixed by adding enough XP to level once again. <br />
# Use the console command <code>rewardxp</code> (e.g. rewardxp 5000 to award 5000xp) and add enough XP to level once again.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Game Crashes on Startup (NVSE installed properly)===<br />
{{ii}} This happens when you start the game and have mods that utilize NVSE (New Vegas Script Extender)<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Crashes on Startup (NVSE installed properly)|ref={{cn|There are mods.. that would require admin privileges?|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Rightclick nvse_loader in the Fallout New Vegas installation folder and select properties. <br />
# Select the tab "Compatibility" and click "Run this program as administrator" and apply.<br />
{{ii}} This could also be the result of mods attempting to change the same object.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Data Files get auto loaded on Startup===<br />
{{ii}} Affected data files are enabled at all times, even if their boxes in the "Data Files" menu are unticked.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable data file autoloading|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the {{file|{{p|game}}\Data\|folder}}<br />
# Search for a file you want disabled with a <code>.nam</code> extension.<br />
# Delete or rename the selected file.<br />
# Repeat for any file you want disabled.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}} If you chose to delete the <code>.nam</code> files, you can recover them by verifying the game data files integrity in Steam.<br />
<br />
===Unable to trade/loot in the German game Version===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the .exe from the international version|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/22380/discussions/0/530649887209096213/|title=Items not lootable :: Steam Community Discussions|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=<br />

===Modifications===<br />
{{mm}} [https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com Viva New Vegas] is a comprehensive Fallout New Vegas modding guide website which gets updated constantly and provides links to essential, stable and lore-friendly mods and how to install them.<br />
<br />
====Mod managers====<br />
Mod managers simplify mod installation, among various additional features.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194 Mod Organizer] - powerful mod manager with mod virtualization, keeping the game installation folder vanilla. Features a configuration editor.<br />
<br />
====Recommended mods====<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62552 FNV 4GB Patcher] - required for many mods so they can function correctly on the Steam and GOG versions of the game. It makes the game 4 GB aware to optimise RAM usage and automatically loads NVSE when using {{file|FalloutNV.exe}}.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/81281 Epic Games Patcher] - required for many mods so they can function correctly on the Epic Games Store version of the game. It makes the game 4 GB aware to optimise RAM usage and automatically loads NVSE when using {{file|FalloutNV.exe}}, but playtime tracking and achievements are disabled.<br />
* [https://github.com/xNVSE/NVSE New Vegas Script Extender (xNVSE)] - community-maintained fork of the original [http://nvse.silverlock.org/ New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE)]. It expands the scripting capabilities of the game. '''''It is required by many mods for them to function correctly.'''''<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/42507 The Mod Configuration Menu (MCM)] - allows mods to be configured from an in-game menu.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65854 FNV BSA Decompressor] - decompressed BSA files and repacks them without zlib compression for improved performance, transcodes .ogg sounds effects to .wav to ensure they play as intended, extracts .mp3 files to loose files as they will not play when in a BSA, updates Ogg Vorbis libraries (fixing an audio memory leak), sound-related stuttering as well as boosting performance while reducing CPU strain.<br />
<br />
====Overhauls====<br />
* [http://twofoldsilence.diogenes-lamp.info/2012/09/jsawyeresp-v51.html JSawyer] - requires ''all'' official DLC to be installed in order to function. It is a general difficulty tweak and bug-fix mod by Fallout: New Vegas' Project Director and Lead Designer, [[Wikipedia:Josh Sawyer|Joshua Sawyer]]. However, it contains crude editing and bugs. [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61592/ JSawyer Ultimate] is a reconstructed version with tweaks and fixes, but strays heavily from the original mod and introduces its own bugs.<br />
* [https://taleoftwowastelands.com/download_ttw Tale of Two Wastelands] - total conversion of ''Fallout 3'' and its DLC to the ''Fallout: New Vegas'' engine, allowing both games to be played on a single save file. along with the improvements New Vegas' engine brings in regards to stability and modding. Said to include "more than 40,000" bug fixes to both games. Requires ''[[Fallout 3|Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition]]'' and ''Fallout: New Vegas - Ultimate Edition''. The mod is currently in beta and is stable. [https://thebestoftimes.moddinglinked.com/ TTW Setup Guide] by Qolore7.<br />
<br />
====User interface====<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65046 Consistent Pip-Boy Icons] - remasters around 3,600 of the vanilla icons for higher resolutions, fixes consistency issues of the original icons in regards to transparency, sizes, etc. Requires a UI mod that supports scaling, such as Vanilla UI Plus.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/70001 Vanilla HUD Cleaned] - remasters text and other vanilla HUD elements. Requires Vanilla UI Plus.<br />

* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/70486 Clean Companion Wheel] - remasters Companion Wheel for higher resolutions.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/57174 User Interface Organizer] - a plugin that manages and maintains all UI/HUD extensions added to the game by various mods. Requires [[#Recommended mods|New Vegas Script Extender]].<br />
<br />
===Graphics===<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69833 Improved Lighting Shaders] - fixes an exterior lighting bug with the vanilla game's shaders, and allows for up to 4x the number of active lights.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65052 Weapon Mesh Improvement] - fixes for mesh errors, UV errors, incorrect flags, missing extra data, form lists, projectiles, and other weapon-related bugs/errors.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/74295 New Vegas Mesh Improvement Mod] - improves the game's meshes.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/46451 Improved LOD Noise Texture] - improves the LOD noise texture used on all distant land. Uses minimal video memory and greatly improves quality.<br />

* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/78400 High Resolution Water Fog - Water Aliasing Fix] - increases resolution of water depth render target, thus significantly reducing aliasing and improving image quality.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/77933 High Resolution Bloom] - edits the resolution of the bloom render target, allowing it to use higher screen resolutions instead of the hardcoded quarter size. This increases bloom precision, reducing its flicker.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/77957 Pip-Boy Shading Fix] - fixes Pip-Boy's shading by taking into account lights around it.<br />
* [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/77683 MoonlightNVSE] - fixes moonlight by making the moon the light caster instead of the sun.<br />

<br />
'''Possible fixes:'''<br />
* Uninstall Origin and reinstall [https://www.origin.com/download the latest version]<br />
* Run Origin as administrator<br />
* Add Dead Space 3 and Origin to your firewall's exception list<br />
* [[Glossary:Port forwarding|Port forward]] the following ports:<br />

<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
===In-game stuttering, freezing issues===<br />
{{ii}} When using VSync,the game places most of its processing load on the first CPU core only(typically 99%) which may cause stuttering and occasional framerate dips on some systems while traversing through the map<br />
<br />
Making affinity changes permanent (setting affinity in task manager only lasts until you exit the game):<br />
# Edit your preferred shortcut for launching the game (desktop and/or start menu)<br />
# In the target field, set the following (just put the default contents in double quotes and prepend cmd.exe /C ...):<br />
* For a 4/4 (core/thread) CPU {{code|cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity e "{{P|game}}\deadspace3.exe"}}<br />
* For a 4/8 and 8/8 (core/thread) CPU {{code|cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity fe "{{P|game}}\deadspace3.exe"}}<br />
* For a 6/6 (core/thread) CPU {{code|cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 3e "{{P|game}}\deadspace3.exe"}}<br />
* For a 6/12 (core/thread) CPU {{code|cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 7fe "{{P|game}}\deadspace3.exe"}}<br />
* For a 8/16 (core/thread) CPU and higher {{code|cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity fffe "{{P|game}}\deadspace3.exe"}}<br />
Verify correct affinity by launching the game and checking affinity in task manager (see beginning).<br />
<br />
To be used in Steam launch options, to launch the game directly from Steam, it must be a little different: <br />
* Ex. for a 8/16 (core/thread) CPU and higher {{code|C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity FFFE "{{P|game}}\deadspace3.exe" %command%}}<br />

{{++}} Contains higher quality AI upscaled textures from the PC port of the game (and some recreated) instead of the poorly upscaled/bugged Xbox 360/PS3 version's textures with some numerous fixes.<br />
{{ii}} Fonts in some languages (like Polish, Slovak or Hebrew) can be broken after installing this mod. Download [https://mega.nz/folder/AvhykC6b#Ca13cB890Edcy_4TFZG8KA this] to fix it.<br />
{{ii}} For controller friendly HUD and icons check [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gNspzabzDbG3vjJtZCz5C4GZXmmUI30Q this].<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Instructions|ref=<ref>[https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1361611#p1361612]</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download and Install [https://www.winehq.org/ Wine] for your distro. Lutris comes with Wine, but it's better to have it installed as well.<br />
# Download and install [https://lutris.net/downloads/ Lutris] for your distro.<br />
# Use Lutris to install whichever version of Rayman 3 you own, by searching for the install script [https://lutris.net/games/ here]. I installed GOG from there and used that to install Rayman 3.<br />
# Open Lutris and click the plus in the upper left, then press add game.<br />
# In the "Game info" tab, put the "Name" as "Rayman 3", then set the runner to "Wine (Runs Windows Games)".<br />
# In the "Game options" tab, click browse to the right of "Executable" and browse to the Rayman 3 install directory. Choose {{file|Rayman3.exe}}. (By default, the GOG version's directory is: {{folder|{{P|linuxhome}}/Games/gog-galaxy/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GOG Galaxy/Games/Rayman 3/}})<br />
# Set the "Working directory" as the Rayman 3 install directory, then hit save.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Browse files".<br />
# Open {{file|R3_Setup_DX8.exe}} and set the game to a resolution your monitor can display. (I chose 1024x768, this is only temporary)<br />
# Run the game temporarily by double clicking "Rayman 3" in Lutris. You can close it as soon as you get to the title screen. (The next 2 steps ensure the game will launch after installing Better Rayman 3)<br />
# Install [https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=12854 Better Rayman 3] to the Rayman 3 directory.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Winetricks".<br />
# Choose "Select the default prefix".<br />
# Select "Install a Windows DLL or component".<br />
# Look for "dotnet40", then click it and hit "OK". This may take a minute to install, once it's done, the Winetricks dialogue will pop up again. You can close it once it does by either hitting "Cancel" on each dialogue or clicking the X on the top right.<br />
# Download [http://dege.freeweb.hu/ dgVoodoo] and put the {{file|D3D9.ini}} file from the {{folder|MS}} directory into the Rayman 3 install directory.<br />
# Put {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} into the Rayman 3 install directory too. This is needed for later.<br />
# Open {{file|d3d8.ini}} in the Rayman 3 directory and change "D3d8to9 = 0" to "D3d8to9 = 1", then save and close it.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose configure.<br />
# In the "Runner options" tab, enable DXVK, then hit save.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Wine configuration".<br />
# Click add application, then type {{file|Rayman3.exe}} and hit open.<br />
# Make sure {{file|Rayman3.exe}} is highlighted in the "Applications" tab, then navigate to the "Libraries" tab.<br />
# Type "d3d8" into the "New override for library:" box and hit "Add".<br />
# Type "d3d9" into the "New override for library:" box and hit "Add".<br />
# Hit "OK" to save the settings and close Wine configuration.<br />
# Browse to the Rayman 3 directory and run {{file|BR3_Config.exe}}. (If it doesn't launch, skip to step 30)<br />
# Set the "Resolution" to whichever one you plan to use, and optionally set "Texture Quality" to "High".<br />
# Uncheck the box labeled "Vertex processing", then click "OK".<br />
# If BR3_Config opened for you, skip these 3 steps, otherwise, find and open {{file|ubi.ini}}. (The directory should be: {{folder|{{P|linuxhome}}/.wine/drive_c/windows/Ubisoft/}})<br />
# Change "Gli_Mode" to whichever resolution you want. For 1080p, use "Gli_Mode=1 - 1920 x 1080 x 32".<br />
# Change "TnL=1" to "TnL=0".<br />
# Now double-click Rayman 3 in Lutris to launch the game and it should work. You should be able to see the Ubisoft logo and a dgVoodoo watermark in the bottom right indicating that it is working. The dgVoodoo watermark can be disabled by running {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} and going into the options menu.<br />

===Game elements run too fast===<br />
{{--}} Rayman 3 by default runs at 72 FPS and may drop to 36 FPS randomly. Above 60 FPS can cause various issues; e.g. some animations play out too fast, shielded enemies turn faster and certain platforms disappear more quickly.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Instructions|ref=<ref>[https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1361611#p1361612]</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download and Install [https://www.winehq.org/ Wine] for your distro. Lutris comes with Wine, but it's better to have it installed as well.<br />
# Download and install [https://lutris.net/downloads/ Lutris] for your distro.<br />
# Use Lutris to install whichever version of Rayman 3 you own, by searching for the install script [https://lutris.net/games/ here]. I installed GOG from there and used that to install Rayman 3.<br />
# Open Lutris and click the plus in the upper left, then press add game.<br />
# In the "Game info" tab, put the "Name" as "Rayman 3", then set the runner to "Wine (Runs Windows Games)".<br />
# In the "Game options" tab, click browse to the right of "Executable" and browse to the Rayman 3 install directory. Choose {{file|Rayman3.exe}}. (By default, the GOG version's directory is: {{folder|{{P|linuxhome}}/Games/gog-galaxy/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GOG Galaxy/Games/Rayman 3/}})<br />
# Set the "Working directory" as the Rayman 3 install directory, then hit save.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Browse files".<br />
# Open {{file|R3_Setup_DX8.exe}} and set the game to a resolution your monitor can display. (I chose 1024x768, this is only temporary)<br />
# Run the game temporarily by double clicking "Rayman 3" in Lutris. You can close it as soon as you get to the title screen. (The next 2 steps ensure the game will launch after installing Better Rayman 3)<br />
# Install [https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=12854 Better Rayman 3] to the Rayman 3 directory.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Winetricks".<br />
# Choose "Select the default prefix".<br />
# Select "Install a Windows DLL or component".<br />
# Look for "dotnet40", then click it and hit "OK". This may take a minute to install, once it's done, the Winetricks dialogue will pop up again. You can close it once it does by either hitting "Cancel" on each dialogue or clicking the X on the top right.<br />
# Download [http://dege.freeweb.hu/ dgVoodoo] and put the {{file|D3D9.ini}} file from the {{folder|MS}} directory into the Rayman 3 install directory.<br />
# Put {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} into the Rayman 3 install directory too. This is needed for later.<br />
# Open {{file|d3d8.ini}} in the Rayman 3 directory and change "D3d8to9 = 0" to "D3d8to9 = 1", then save and close it.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose configure.<br />
# In the "Runner options" tab, enable DXVK, then hit save.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Wine configuration".<br />
# Click add application, then type {{file|Rayman3.exe}} and hit open.<br />
# Make sure {{file|Rayman3.exe}} is highlighted in the "Applications" tab, then navigate to the "Libraries" tab.<br />
# Type "d3d8" into the "New override for library:" box and hit "Add".<br />
# Type "d3d9" into the "New override for library:" box and hit "Add".<br />
# Hit "OK" to save the settings and close Wine configuration.<br />
# Browse to the Rayman 3 directory and run {{file|BR3_Config.exe}}. (If it doesn't launch, skip to step 30)<br />
# Set the "Resolution" to whichever one you plan to use, and optionally set "Texture Quality" to "High".<br />
# Uncheck the box labeled "Vertex processing", then click "OK".<br />
# If BR3_Config opened for you, skip these 3 steps, otherwise, find and open {{file|ubi.ini}}. (The directory should be: {{folder|{{P|linuxhome}}/.wine/drive_c/windows/Ubisoft/}})<br />
# Change "Gli_Mode" to whichever resolution you want. For 1080p, use "Gli_Mode=1 - 1920 x 1080 x 32".<br />
# Change "TnL=1" to "TnL=0".<br />
# Now double-click Rayman 3 in Lutris to launch the game and it should work. You should be able to see the Ubisoft logo and a dgVoodoo watermark in the bottom right indicating that it is working. The dgVoodoo watermark can be disabled by running {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} and going into the options menu.<br />

# Download and Install [https://www.winehq.org/ Wine] for your distro. Lutris comes with Wine, but it's better to have it installed as well.<br />
# Download and install [https://lutris.net/downloads/ Lutris] for your distro.<br />
# Use Lutris to install whichever version of Rayman 3 you own, by searching for the install script [https://lutris.net/games/ here]. I installed GOG from there and used that to install Rayman 3.<br />
# Open Lutris and click the plus in the upper left, then press add game.<br />
# In the "Game info" tab, put the "Name" as "Rayman 3", then set the runner to "Wine (Runs Windows Games)".<br />
# In the "Game options" tab, click browse to the right of "Executable" and browse to the Rayman 3 install directory. Choose {{file|Rayman3.exe}}. (By default, the GOG version's directory is: {{folder|{{P|linuxhome}}/Games/gog-galaxy/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GOG Galaxy/Games/Rayman 3/}})<br />
# Set the "Working directory" as the Rayman 3 install directory, then hit save.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Browse files".<br />
# Open {{file|R3_Setup_DX8.exe}} and set the game to a resolution your monitor can display. (I chose 1024x768, this is only temporary)<br />
# Run the game temporarily by double clicking "Rayman 3" in Lutris. You can close it as soon as you get to the title screen. (The next 2 steps ensure the game will launch after installing Better Rayman 3)<br />
# Install [https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=12854 Better Rayman 3] to the Rayman 3 directory.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Winetricks".<br />
# Choose "Select the default prefix".<br />
# Select "Install a Windows DLL or component".<br />
# Look for "dotnet40", then click it and hit "OK". This may take a minute to install, once it's done, the Winetricks dialogue will pop up again. You can close it once it does by either hitting "Cancel" on each dialogue or clicking the X on the top right.<br />
# Download [http://dege.freeweb.hu/ dgVoodoo] and put the {{file|D3D9.ini}} file from the {{folder|MS}} directory into the Rayman 3 install directory.<br />
# Put {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} into the Rayman 3 install directory too. This is needed for later.<br />
# Open {{file|d3d8.ini}} in the Rayman 3 directory and change "D3d8to9 = 0" to "D3d8to9 = 1", then save and close it.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose configure.<br />
# In the "Runner options" tab, enable DXVK, then hit save.<br />
# Right click Rayman 3 in Lutris and choose "Wine configuration".<br />
# Click add application, then type {{file|Rayman3.exe}} and hit open.<br />
# Make sure {{file|Rayman3.exe}} is highlighted in the "Applications" tab, then navigate to the "Libraries" tab.<br />
# Type "d3d8" into the "New override for library:" box and hit "Add".<br />
# Type "d3d9" into the "New override for library:" box and hit "Add".<br />
# Hit "OK" to save the settings and close Wine configuration.<br />
# Browse to the Rayman 3 directory and run {{file|BR3_Config.exe}}. (If it doesn't launch, skip to step 30)<br />
# Set the "Resolution" to whichever one you plan to use, and optionally set "Texture Quality" to "High".<br />
# Uncheck the box labeled "Vertex processing", then click "OK".<br />
# If BR3_Config opened for you, skip these 3 steps, otherwise, find and open {{file|ubi.ini}}. (The directory should be: {{folder|{{P|linuxhome}}/.wine/drive_c/windows/Ubisoft/}})<br />
# Change "Gli_Mode" to whichever resolution you want. For 1080p, use "Gli_Mode=1 - 1920 x 1080 x 32".<br />
# Change "TnL=1" to "TnL=0".<br />
# Now double-click Rayman 3 in Lutris to launch the game and it should work. You should be able to see the Ubisoft logo and a dgVoodoo watermark in the bottom right indicating that it is working. The dgVoodoo watermark can be disabled by running {{file|dgVoodooCpl.exe}} and going into the options menu.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Rendering problems at 16:9===<br />
When using a 16:9 resolution, objects at the left and right edge of the screen don't get rendered, very noticeable when turning with the mouse. This is because the game is only rendering for 4:3 resolutions. The effect is fairly small when using 1920x1080 or 2560x1440, but it becomes insufferable in 4k.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/the_suffering_series/object_in_peripherals_do_not_render|title=Object in peripherals do not render|date=May 2023}}</ref><br />
{{Fixbox|description=Lower FOV or resolution|fix=<br />
# This can be somewhat mitigated by not going above 2560x1440, and if necessary lowering the FOV (e.g. via [https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp#thesuffering The Suffering Widescreen Fix]). Find the right combination of FOV and resolution where it is no longer noticeable for you.<br />
{{--}} However, that clearly makes the game look worse and the FOV is already quite low.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Stretched encyclopedia with widescreen fixes===<br />
Using any of the [[The Suffering: Ties That Bind#Video settings|above]] widescreen fixes will make the right side of the screen stretched when accessing the in-game encyclopedia. This doesn't happen when using 16:9 without the mods.<br />
<br />
===Visual artifacts with certain weapons in 4:3===<br />
In 4:3 resolutions, there sometimes is a visual issue with certain guns (especially the Tommy Gun). When being in first person, changing to 3rd person and then back to 1st, a lot of the character's body will be rendered at the bottom of the screen and clipping into the gun. For most weapons (especially dual-wielded guns) this luckily doesn't occur.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Lower FOV or play in 16:9|fix=<br />
# To mitigate the problem, you'll have to play in 16:9 or higher. Another way is lowering the FOV.<br />
{{--}} Lowering the FOV while in 4:3 makes the visible window extremely small.<br />
{{--}} Playing in widescreen causes the rendering problem mentioned [[The Suffering: Ties That Bind#Rendering problems at 16:9|above]].<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}} A good compromise is to play in 2560x1440 and with standard FOV (1.0). This removes the visual glitch and at the same time keeps the rendering problems low.<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
===Freeze in starting courtyard===<br />
{{ii}} Shortly after the player gains control in the opening prison courtyard, the game freezes.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode|ref={{cn|date=May 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Open <code>SufferingTTB.exe</code> [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility settings]].<br />
# Enable Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode.<br />

<br />
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===<br />
{{ii}} When using [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1229-the-suffering-series-aio-patch/ The Suffering Series AiO Patch], the game will set monitor's refresh rate to 60&nbsp;Hz when in fullscreen mode.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Rendering problems at 16:9===<br />
When using a 16:9 resolution, objects at the left and right edge of the screen don't get rendered, very noticeable when turning with the mouse. This is because the game is only rendering for 4:3 resolutions. The effect is fairly small when using 1920x1080 or 2560x1440, but it becomes insufferable in 4k.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/the_suffering_series/object_in_peripherals_do_not_render|title=Object in peripherals do not render|date=May 2023}}</ref><br />
{{Fixbox|description=Lower FOV or resolution|fix=<br />
# This can be somewhat mitigated by not going above 2560x1440, and if necessary lowering the FOV (e.g. via [https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp#thesuffering The Suffering Widescreen Fix]). Find the right combination of FOV and resolution where it is no longer noticeable for you.<br />
{{--}} However, that clearly makes the game look worse and the FOV is already quite low.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Stretched encyclopedia with widescreen fixes===<br />
Using any of the [[The Suffering: Ties That Bind#Video settings|above]] widescreen fixes will make the right side of the screen stretched when accessing the in-game encyclopedia. This doesn't happen when using 16:9 without the mods.<br />
<br />
===Visual artifacts with certain weapons in 4:3===<br />
In 4:3 resolutions, there sometimes is a visual issue with certain guns (especially the Tommy Gun). When being in first person, changing to 3rd person and then back to 1st, a lot of the character's body will be rendered at the bottom of the screen and clipping into the gun. For most weapons (especially dual-wielded guns) this luckily doesn't occur.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Lower FOV or play in 16:9|fix=<br />
# To mitigate the problem, you'll have to play in 16:9 or higher. Another way is lowering the FOV.<br />
{{--}} Lowering the FOV while in 4:3 makes the visible window extremely small.<br />
{{--}} Playing in widescreen causes the rendering problem mentioned [[The Suffering: Ties That Bind#Rendering problems at 16:9|above]].<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}} A good compromise is to play in 2560x1440 and with standard FOV (1.0). This removes the visual glitch and at the same time keeps the rendering problems low.<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
===Freeze in starting courtyard===<br />
{{ii}} Shortly after the player gains control in the opening prison courtyard, the game freezes.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode|ref={{cn|date=May 2017}}|fix=<br />

<br />
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===<br />
{{ii}} When using [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1229-the-suffering-series-aio-patch/ The Suffering Series AiO Patch], the game will set monitor's refresh rate to 60&nbsp;Hz when in fullscreen mode.<br />

{{ii}} The gameplay in certain sections of the game was changed in the [[#Patches|1.1.1.0 patch]], e.g. a stealth sequence gets replaced by a chase sequence and several sub-levels are cut out.<ref name="versions">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/618459405714082024/|title=Multiple versions of this game?|date=2021-01-24}}</ref><ref>{{Refcheck|user=Averygoodperson|date=2023-10-06|comment=the only thing that matters is the patch}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Demo===<br />
A demo is available [https://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_info/Downloads/Download/45430/Call_of_Juarez/Singleplayer-Demo.html here] (German site).<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
===Patches===<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/742/7/ Patch 1.1.1.0] is the latest patch available. Included in GOG and Steam version. Mind that different patches and different local versions (European vs. American) have some gameplay differences that some might regard as changes to the worse.<ref name="versions" /><br />
<br />
===Censorship in German version===<br />
When playing the German version (German retail or installing the German version in GOG / Steam), most blood effects and a few other things are censored out.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=3433|title=Schnittberichte|date=May 2023}}</ref> This can be mitigated by installing the English version in Steam or GOG, but then the German language support is gone. To remove the censorship while keeping the German version, first install the German version and then download and install [http://dload.me/sl this] patch.<br />
{{ii}} This patch garbles the description of two graphics options in the options menu, but they keep functional, so this doesn't impact the game.<br />
<br />
===Black bars on top and bottom===<br />
To remove the black bars on top and bottom of the screen, download [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1494-call-of-juarez-aspect-fov-fix/ this] patch, unpack it and put the content of the archive into the game folder.<br />
<br />
===Make sure to use the DirectX 10 version===<br />
The game comes with two .exe, one for DirectX 9 (CoJ.exe) and one for the much better looking DirectX 10 (CoJ_DX10.exe). Make sure to launch the game from the DX10 version to get improved graphics. When using Steam or GOG, make sure that this exe is the one that gets started when clicking Play.<br />
{{++}} On GOG Galaxy, this is done by clicking on the symbol to the right of the play button, then Manage Installation → Configure. There you select the DX10 as Default Executable.<br />
When launching with the DirectX 10 version, you can go to the graphics menu in-game and change the option at the very bottom to "yes". This will activate all DirectX10 improvements.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Crash in Episode 4 when reloading left gun===<br />
In episode 4 (where Billy has to sneak to the mine/train), getting a revolver for your left hand and then reloading it sometimes crashes the game in DirectX10 mode.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/358416640403215769/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/620696934092545905/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/gfu1ul/call_of_juarez_crashing_in_episode_4_workaround/|title=Reddit|date=May 2023}}</ref> This is especially problematic for the section at the end where you have to defend your position and wait for the train. <br />
{{ii}} The same bug can happen during the two bossfights towards the end of the game (seemingly whenever a boss' health bar is on screen). The same solutions apply.<br />
There are some workarounds for this:<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Don't use your left revolver in this section|fix=<br />
# Play through that part just using your right revolver, pick up a rifle and use your bow. The bug also doesn't happen if you dual-wield with sawn-off shotguns. It just happens with the weapon in your number 1 slot.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can use it again.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use DirectX 9 mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game with CoJ.exe instead of CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
# If using Steam or GOG, you can set which exe the client uses.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use safe mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game in safe mode.<br />
# Play through that section (ends with jumping on the train).<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to normal mode.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
{{ii}} See also the game's page on [https://tweakguides.pcgamingwiki.com/COJ_1.html TweakGuides].<br />
<br />
===Game crashes on launch after Techland logo when running in DirectX 10 mode===<br />
{{ii}} The DirectX 10 version may have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and later.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable the following [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility settings]] for the {{code|CoJ_DX10.exe}} file: <code>Compatibility mode (Windows XP (Service Pack 2))</code>|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/558752451544816591/|title=DX10 Crashes PC :: Call of Juarez General Discussions|date=May 2023}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===<br />
{{--}} Maximum selectable refresh rate is 100&nbsp;Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set your monitor's refresh rate to 100&nbsp;Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120&nbsp;Hz or 144&nbsp;Hz monitor.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set screen refresh rate|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the [[#Game data|configuration file(s) location]].<br />
# Open <code>Video.scr</code> with a text editor.<br />
# Set <code>MaxRefresh</code> to the screen refresh rate (e.g. <code>MaxRefresh(120)</code>).<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Possible fix for 100Hz cap|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Create a custom resolution using your graphics card's control panel, so that only one resolution with that specific refresh rate exists. For example: on a 1080p monitor, create a desktop resolution of 1920x1079 with a refresh rate of 144 or 240 or 360 (or any value).<br />
# Set that specific resolution in the game; since only that specific instance of that specific resolution exists, the game will force whichever refresh rate you set that resolution to.<br />

===Make corpses stay===<br />
There is an option in the game menu to make corpses stay longer, but this only increases the time for a few seconds. Corpses still quickly disappear, which makes it hard to find their guns laying around. You can install [http://dload.me/sk this] mod to make the corpses stay much longer. The mod installation UI is in German, but it works with any game version.<br />
{{ii}} Careful, this mod also allows you to shoot civilians, but you still fail the game when you kill one. However, it is easy to distinguish civilians from enemies.<br />

{{ii}} The gameplay in certain sections of the game was changed in the [[#Patches|1.1.1.0 patch]], e.g. a stealth sequence gets replaced by a chase sequence and several sub-levels are cut out.<ref name="versions">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/618459405714082024/|title=Multiple versions of this game?|date=2021-01-24}}</ref><ref>{{Refcheck|user=Averygoodperson|date=2023-10-06|comment=the only thing that matters is the patch}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Demo===<br />
A demo is available [https://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_info/Downloads/Download/45430/Call_of_Juarez/Singleplayer-Demo.html here] (German site).<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
===Patches===<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/742/7/ Patch 1.1.1.0] is the latest patch available. Included in GOG and Steam version. Mind that different patches and different local versions (European vs. American) have some gameplay differences that some might regard as changes to the worse.<ref name="versions" /><br />
<br />
===Censorship in German version===<br />
When playing the German version (German retail or installing the German version in GOG / Steam), most blood effects and a few other things are censored out.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=3433|title=Schnittberichte|date=May 2023}}</ref> This can be mitigated by installing the English version in Steam or GOG, but then the German language support is gone. To remove the censorship while keeping the German version, first install the German version and then download and install [http://dload.me/sl this] patch.<br />
{{ii}} This patch garbles the description of two graphics options in the options menu, but they keep functional, so this doesn't impact the game.<br />
<br />
===Black bars on top and bottom===<br />
To remove the black bars on top and bottom of the screen, download [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1494-call-of-juarez-aspect-fov-fix/ this] patch, unpack it and put the content of the archive into the game folder.<br />
<br />
===Make sure to use the DirectX 10 version===<br />
The game comes with two .exe, one for DirectX 9 (CoJ.exe) and one for the much better looking DirectX 10 (CoJ_DX10.exe). Make sure to launch the game from the DX10 version to get improved graphics. When using Steam or GOG, make sure that this exe is the one that gets started when clicking Play.<br />
{{++}} On GOG Galaxy, this is done by clicking on the symbol to the right of the play button, then Manage Installation → Configure. There you select the DX10 as Default Executable.<br />
When launching with the DirectX 10 version, you can go to the graphics menu in-game and change the option at the very bottom to "yes". This will activate all DirectX10 improvements.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Crash in Episode 4 when reloading left gun===<br />
In episode 4 (where Billy has to sneak to the mine/train), getting a revolver for your left hand and then reloading it sometimes crashes the game in DirectX10 mode.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/358416640403215769/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/620696934092545905/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/gfu1ul/call_of_juarez_crashing_in_episode_4_workaround/|title=Reddit|date=May 2023}}</ref> This is especially problematic for the section at the end where you have to defend your position and wait for the train. <br />
{{ii}} The same bug can happen during the two bossfights towards the end of the game (seemingly whenever a boss' health bar is on screen). The same solutions apply.<br />
There are some workarounds for this:<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Don't use your left revolver in this section|fix=<br />
# Play through that part just using your right revolver, pick up a rifle and use your bow. The bug also doesn't happen if you dual-wield with sawn-off shotguns. It just happens with the weapon in your number 1 slot.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can use it again.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use DirectX 9 mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game with CoJ.exe instead of CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
# If using Steam or GOG, you can set which exe the client uses.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use safe mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game in safe mode.<br />
# Play through that section (ends with jumping on the train).<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to normal mode.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
{{ii}} See also the game's page on [https://tweakguides.pcgamingwiki.com/COJ_1.html TweakGuides].<br />
<br />
===Game crashes on launch after Techland logo when running in DirectX 10 mode===<br />
{{ii}} The DirectX 10 version may have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and later.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable the following [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility settings]] for the {{code|CoJ_DX10.exe}} file: <code>Compatibility mode (Windows XP (Service Pack 2))</code>|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/558752451544816591/|title=DX10 Crashes PC :: Call of Juarez General Discussions|date=May 2023}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===<br />
{{--}} Maximum selectable refresh rate is 100&nbsp;Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set your monitor's refresh rate to 100&nbsp;Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120&nbsp;Hz or 144&nbsp;Hz monitor.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set screen refresh rate|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the [[#Game data|configuration file(s) location]].<br />
# Open <code>Video.scr</code> with a text editor.<br />
# Set <code>MaxRefresh</code> to the screen refresh rate (e.g. <code>MaxRefresh(120)</code>).<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Possible fix for 100Hz cap|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Create a custom resolution using your graphics card's control panel, so that only one resolution with that specific refresh rate exists. For example: on a 1080p monitor, create a desktop resolution of 1920x1079 with a refresh rate of 144 or 240 or 360 (or any value).<br />
# Set that specific resolution in the game; since only that specific instance of that specific resolution exists, the game will force whichever refresh rate you set that resolution to.<br />

===Make corpses stay===<br />
There is an option in the game menu to make corpses stay longer, but this only increases the time for a few seconds. Corpses still quickly disappear, which makes it hard to find their guns laying around. You can install [http://dload.me/sk this] mod to make the corpses stay much longer. The mod installation UI is in German, but it works with any game version.<br />
{{--}} Careful, this mod also allows you to shoot civilians, but you still fail the game when you kill one. However, it is easy to distinguish civilians from enemies.<br />

{{ii}} The gameplay in certain sections of the game was changed in the [[#Patches|1.1.1.0 patch], e.g. a stealth sequence gets replaced by a chase sequence and several sub-levels are cut out.<ref name="versions">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/618459405714082024/|title=Multiple versions of this game?|date=2021-01-24}}</ref><ref>{{Refcheck|user=Averygoodperson|date=2023-10-06|comment=the only thing that matters is the patch}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Demo===<br />
A demo is available [https://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_info/Downloads/Download/45430/Call_of_Juarez/Singleplayer-Demo.html here] (German site).<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
===Patches===<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/742/7/ Patch 1.1.1.0] is the latest patch available. Included in GOG and Steam version. Mind that different patches and different local versions (European vs. American) have some gameplay differences that some might regard as changes to the worse.<ref name="versions" /><br />
<br />
===Censorship in German version===<br />
When playing the German version (German retail or installing the German version in GOG / Steam), most blood effects and a few other things are censored out.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=3433|title=Schnittberichte|date=May 2023}}</ref> This can be mitigated by installing the English version in Steam or GOG, but then the German language support is gone. To remove the censorship while keeping the German version, first install the German version and then download and install [http://dload.me/sl this] patch.<br />
{{ii}} This patch garbles the description of two graphics options in the options menu, but they keep functional, so this doesn't impact the game.<br />
<br />
===Black bars on top and bottom===<br />
To remove the black bars on top and bottom of the screen, download [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1494-call-of-juarez-aspect-fov-fix/ this] patch, unpack it and put the content of the archive into the game folder.<br />
<br />
===Make sure to use the DirectX 10 version===<br />
The game comes with two .exe, one for DirectX 9 (CoJ.exe) and one for the much better looking DirectX 10 (CoJ_DX10.exe). Make sure to launch the game from the DX10 version to get improved graphics. When using Steam or GOG, make sure that this exe is the one that gets started when clicking Play.<br />
{{++}} On GOG Galaxy, this is done by clicking on the symbol to the right of the play button, then Manage Installation → Configure. There you select the DX10 as Default Executable.<br />
When launching with the DirectX 10 version, you can go to the graphics menu in-game and change the option at the very bottom to "yes". This will activate all DirectX10 improvements.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Crash in Episode 4 when reloading left gun===<br />
In episode 4 (where Billy has to sneak to the mine/train), getting a revolver for your left hand and then reloading it sometimes crashes the game in DirectX10 mode.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/358416640403215769/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/620696934092545905/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/gfu1ul/call_of_juarez_crashing_in_episode_4_workaround/|title=Reddit|date=May 2023}}</ref> This is especially problematic for the section at the end where you have to defend your position and wait for the train. <br />
{{ii}} The same bug can happen during the two bossfights towards the end of the game (seemingly whenever a boss' health bar is on screen). The same solutions apply.<br />
There are some workarounds for this:<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Don't use your left revolver in this section|fix=<br />
# Play through that part just using your right revolver, pick up a rifle and use your bow. The bug also doesn't happen if you dual-wield with sawn-off shotguns. It just happens with the weapon in your number 1 slot.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can use it again.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use DirectX 9 mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game with CoJ.exe instead of CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
# If using Steam or GOG, you can set which exe the client uses.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use safe mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game in safe mode.<br />
# Play through that section (ends with jumping on the train).<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to normal mode.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
{{ii}} See also the game's page on [https://tweakguides.pcgamingwiki.com/COJ_1.html TweakGuides].<br />
<br />
===Game crashes on launch after Techland logo when running in DirectX 10 mode===<br />
{{ii}} The DirectX 10 version may have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and later.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable the following [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility settings]] for the {{code|CoJ_DX10.exe}} file: <code>Compatibility mode (Windows XP (Service Pack 2))</code>|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/558752451544816591/|title=DX10 Crashes PC :: Call of Juarez General Discussions|date=May 2023}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===<br />
{{--}} Maximum selectable refresh rate is 100&nbsp;Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set your monitor's refresh rate to 100&nbsp;Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120&nbsp;Hz or 144&nbsp;Hz monitor.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set screen refresh rate|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the [[#Game data|configuration file(s) location]].<br />
# Open <code>Video.scr</code> with a text editor.<br />
# Set <code>MaxRefresh</code> to the screen refresh rate (e.g. <code>MaxRefresh(120)</code>).<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Possible fix for 100Hz cap|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Create a custom resolution using your graphics card's control panel, so that only one resolution with that specific refresh rate exists. For example: on a 1080p monitor, create a desktop resolution of 1920x1079 with a refresh rate of 144 or 240 or 360 (or any value).<br />
# Set that specific resolution in the game; since only that specific instance of that specific resolution exists, the game will force whichever refresh rate you set that resolution to.<br />

===Make corpses stay===<br />
There is an option in the game menu to make corpses stay longer, but this only increases the time for a few seconds. Corpses still quickly disappear, which makes it hard to find their guns laying around. You can install [http://dload.me/sk this] mod to make the corpses stay much longer. The mod installation UI is in German, but it works with any game version.<br />
{{--}} Careful, this mod also allows you to shoot civilians, but you still fail the game when you kill one. However, it is easy to distinguish civilians from enemies.<br />

{{ii}} The gameplay in certain sections of the game was changed in the [[#Patches|1.1.1.0 patch], e.g. a stealth sequence gets replaced by a chase sequence and several sub-levels are cut out.<ref name="versions">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/618459405714082024/|title=Multiple versions of this game?|date=2021-01-24}}</ref><ref>{{Refcheck|user=Averygoodperson|date=2023-10-06|comment=the only thing that matters is the patch}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Demo===<br />
A demo is available [https://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_info/Downloads/Download/45430/Call_of_Juarez/Singleplayer-Demo.html here] (German site).<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
===Patches===<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/742/7/ Patch 1.1.1.0] is the latest patch available. Included in GOG and Steam version. Mind that different patches and different local versions (European vs. American) have some gameplay differences that some might regard as changes to the worse.<ref name="versions" /><br />
<br />
===Censorship in German version===<br />
When playing the German version (German retail or installing the German version in GOG / Steam), most blood effects and a few other things are censored out.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=3433|title=Schnittberichte|date=May 2023}}</ref> This can be mitigated by installing the English version in Steam or GOG, but then the German language support is gone. To remove the censorship while keeping the German version, first install the German version and then download and install [http://dload.me/sl this] patch.<br />
{{ii}} This patch garbles the description of two graphics options in the options menu, but they keep functional, so this doesn't impact the game.<br />
<br />
===Black bars on top and bottom===<br />
To remove the black bars on top and bottom of the screen, download [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1494-call-of-juarez-aspect-fov-fix/ this] patch, unpack it and put the content of the archive into the game folder.<br />
<br />
===Make sure to use the DirectX 10 version===<br />
The game comes with two .exe, one for DirectX 9 (CoJ.exe) and one for the much better looking DirectX 10 (CoJ_DX10.exe). Make sure to launch the game from the DX10 version to get improved graphics. When using Steam or GOG, make sure that this exe is the one that gets started when clicking Play.<br />
{{++}} On GOG Galaxy, this is done by clicking on the symbol to the right of the play button, then Manage Installation → Configure. There you select the DX10 as Default Executable.<br />
When launching with the DirectX 10 version, you can go to the graphics menu in-game and change the option at the very bottom to "yes". This will activate all DirectX10 improvements.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Crash in Episode 4 when reloading left gun===<br />
In episode 4 (where Billy has to sneak to the mine/train), getting a revolver for your left hand and then reloading it sometimes crashes the game in DirectX10 mode.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/358416640403215769/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/620696934092545905/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/gfu1ul/call_of_juarez_crashing_in_episode_4_workaround/|title=Reddit|date=May 2023}}</ref> This is especially problematic for the section at the end where you have to defend your position and wait for the train. <br />
{{ii}} The same bug can happen during the two bossfights towards the end of the game (seemingly whenever a boss' health bar is on screen). The same solutions apply.<br />
There are some workarounds for this:<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Don't use your left revolver in this section|fix=<br />
# Play through that part just using your right revolver, pick up a rifle and use your bow. The bug also doesn't happen if you dual-wield with sawn-off shotguns. It just happens with the weapon in your number 1 slot.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can use it again.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use DirectX 9 mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game with CoJ.exe instead of CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
# If using Steam or GOG, you can set which exe the client uses.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use safe mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game in safe mode.<br />
# Play through that section (ends with jumping on the train).<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to normal mode.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
{{ii}} See also the game's page on [https://tweakguides.pcgamingwiki.com/COJ_1.html TweakGuides].<br />
<br />
===Game crashes on launch after Techland logo when running in DirectX 10 mode===<br />
{{ii}} The DirectX 10 version may have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and later.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable the following [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility settings]] for the {{code|CoJ_DX10.exe}} file: <code>Compatibility mode (Windows XP (Service Pack 2))</code>|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/558752451544816591/|title=DX10 Crashes PC :: Call of Juarez General Discussions|date=May 2023}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===<br />
{{--}} Maximum selectable refresh rate is 100&nbsp;Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set your monitor's refresh rate to 100&nbsp;Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120&nbsp;Hz or 144&nbsp;Hz monitor.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set screen refresh rate|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the [[#Game data|configuration file(s) location]].<br />
# Open <code>Video.scr</code> with a text editor.<br />
# Set <code>MaxRefresh</code> to the screen refresh rate (e.g. <code>MaxRefresh(120)</code>).<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Possible fix for 100Hz cap|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Create a custom resolution using your graphics card's control panel, so that only one resolution with that specific refresh rate exists. For example: on a 1080p monitor, create a desktop resolution of 1920x1079 with a refresh rate of 144 or 240 or 360 (or any value).<br />
# Set that specific resolution in the game; since only that specific instance of that specific resolution exists, the game will force whichever refresh rate you set that resolution to.<br />

===Make corpses stay===<br />
There is an option in the game menu to make corpses stay longer, but this only increases the time for a few seconds. Corpses still quickly disappear, which makes it hard to find their guns laying around. You can install [http://dload.me/sk this] mod to make the corpses stay much longer. The mod installation UI is in German, but it works with any game version.<br />
{{--}} Careful, this mod also allows you to shoot civilians, but you still fail the game when you kill one. However, it is easy to distinguish civilians from enemies.<br />

{{ii}} The gameplay in certain sections of the game was changed in the [[#Patches|1.1.1.0 patch], e.g. a stealth sequence gets replaced by a chase sequence and several sub-levels are cut out.<ref name="versions">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/618459405714082024/|title=Multiple versions of this game?|date=2021-01-24}}</ref><ref>{{Refcheck|user=Averygoodperson|date=2023-10-06|comment=the only thing that matters is the patch}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Demo===<br />
A demo is available [https://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_info/Downloads/Download/45430/Call_of_Juarez/Singleplayer-Demo.html here] (German site).<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
===Patches===<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/742/7/ Patch 1.1.1.0] is the latest patch available. Included in GOG and Steam version. Mind that different patches and different local versions (European vs. American) have some gameplay differences that some might regard as changes to the worse.<ref name="versions" /><br />
<br />
===Censorship in German version===<br />
When playing the German version (German retail or installing the German version in GOG / Steam), most blood effects and a few other things are censored out.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=3433|title=Schnittberichte|date=May 2023}}</ref> This can be mitigated by installing the English version in Steam or GOG, but then the German language support is gone. To remove the censorship while keeping the German version, first install the German version and then download and install [http://dload.me/sl this] patch.<br />
{{ii}} This patch garbles the description of two graphics options in the options menu, but they keep functional, so this doesn't impact the game.<br />
<br />
===Black bars on top and bottom===<br />
To remove the black bars on top and bottom of the screen, download [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1494-call-of-juarez-aspect-fov-fix/ this] patch, unpack it and put the content of the archive into the game folder.<br />
<br />
===Make sure to use the DirectX 10 version===<br />
The game comes with two .exe, one for DirectX 9 (CoJ.exe) and one for the much better looking DirectX 10 (CoJ_DX10.exe). Make sure to launch the game from the DX10 version to get improved graphics. When using Steam or GOG, make sure that this exe is the one that gets started when clicking Play.<br />
{{++}} On GOG Galaxy, this is done by clicking on the symbol to the right of the play button, then Manage Installation → Configure. There you select the DX10 as Default Executable.<br />
When launching with the DirectX 10 version, you can go to the graphics menu in-game and change the option at the very bottom to "yes". This will activate all DirectX10 improvements.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Crash in Episode 4 when reloading left gun===<br />
In episode 4 (where Billy has to sneak to the mine/train), getting a revolver for your left hand and then reloading it sometimes crashes the game in DirectX10 mode.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/358416640403215769/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/620696934092545905/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/gfu1ul/call_of_juarez_crashing_in_episode_4_workaround/|title=Reddit|date=May 2023}}</ref> This is especially problematic for the section at the end where you have to defend your position and wait for the train. <br />
{{ii}} The same bug can happen during the two bossfights towards the end of the game (seemingly whenever a boss' health bar is on screen). The same solutions apply.<br />
There are some workarounds for this:<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Don't use your left revolver in this section|fix=<br />
# Play through that part just using your right revolver, pick up a rifle and use your bow. The bug also doesn't happen if you dual-wield with sawn-off shotguns. It just happens with the weapon in your number 1 slot.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can use it again.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use DirectX 9 mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game with CoJ.exe instead of CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
# If using Steam or GOG, you can set which exe the client uses.<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to CoJ_DX10.exe.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use safe mode|fix=<br />
# Start the game in safe mode.<br />
# Play through that section (ends with jumping on the train).<br />
# After the next loading screen (end of episode 4), you can go back to normal mode.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
{{ii}} See also the game's page on [https://tweakguides.pcgamingwiki.com/COJ_1.html TweakGuides].<br />
<br />
===Game crashes on launch after Techland logo when running in DirectX 10 mode===<br />
{{ii}} The DirectX 10 version may have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and later.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable the following [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility settings]] for the {{code|CoJ_DX10.exe}} file: <code>Compatibility mode (Windows XP (Service Pack 2))</code>|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3020/discussions/0/558752451544816591/|title=DX10 Crashes PC :: Call of Juarez General Discussions|date=May 2023}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===<br />
{{--}} Maximum selectable refresh rate is 100&nbsp;Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set your monitor's refresh rate to 100&nbsp;Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120&nbsp;Hz or 144&nbsp;Hz monitor.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set screen refresh rate|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the [[#Game data|configuration file(s) location]].<br />
# Open <code>Video.scr</code> with a text editor.<br />
# Set <code>MaxRefresh</code> to the screen refresh rate (e.g. <code>MaxRefresh(120)</code>).<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Possible fix for 100Hz cap|ref={{cn|date=July 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Create a custom resolution using your graphics card's control panel, so that only one resolution with that specific refresh rate exists. For example: on a 1080p monitor, create a desktop resolution of 1920x1079 with a refresh rate of 144 or 240 or 360 (or any value).<br />
# Set that specific resolution in the game; since only that specific instance of that specific resolution exists, the game will force whichever refresh rate you set that resolution to.<br />

===Make corpses stay===<br />
There is an option in the game menu to make corpses stay longer, but this only increases the time for a few seconds. Corpses still quickly disappear, which makes it hard to find their guns laying around. You can install [http://dload.me/sk this] mod to make the corpses stay much longer. The mod installation UI is in German, but it works with any game version.<br />
{{--}} Careful, this mod also allows you to shoot civilians, but you still fail the game when you kill one. However, it is easy to distinguish civilians from enemies.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===York begins mumbling at sidequest 20===<br />
When York is talking to Lilly in the Milk Barn for the third and final storage room sidequest, York begins mumbling during the conversation.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3xnFRilSJ8|title=York has a stroke|date=May 2023}}</ref><br />
<br />
There are no known fixes for this, although this is a very minor glitch and does not prevent the player from doing the sidequest.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Smoke a (in-game) cigarette|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
* Throughout the game when dealing with consistent crashes in specific places, fast-forwarding time with cigarettes can prevent crashes. Chapter 9 is notorious for being one of the worst offenders as it can crash in multiple spots such as immediately after the chapters begins, attempting to leave the gallery, after leaving the diner and possibly more. [https://www.mediafire.com/file/928oomih9gs62zv/DPch8-9.zip/file Here's] a few savefiles starting from Chapter 8 that can help get through the chapter in case no backup was made beforehand.<br />
* In Chapter 9, after Olivia gives York the "Key to Back Yard" in the diner, it is common for the game to crash during the cutscene outside, right after York says, "Let's hope it's not just something for the gossip columns". Many users have reported that smoking a cigarette (in-game) in the diner for an hour or two (about 13:00) before leaving the diner will help prevent the crash.<br />

====Crash during cutscene after Episode 1, Chapter 3 Hospital Level====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set the game to windowed mode, or download a gamesave after the cutscene|ref={{cn|date=November 2016}}|fix=<br />
After the encounter with the shotgun enemies in the hospital level, the game will load, and as it starts to play a new cutscene, will crash. Setting the game to windowed mode in the launcher seems to fix this, but the cutscenes must be skipped, or they will freeze. [https://www.mediafire.com/?5uu299dby3n61u5 Here] is a savegame directly after the cutscene, and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcqH4YENamM&t=54m50s here] is the cutscene that you missed.<br />

====Crash at the beginning of Chapter 9 corrupts save file====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Replace your corrupt Chapter 9 save file with a working one|fix=<br />
A common occurrence is for the game to crash during the cutscenes at the start of chapter 9 (going from the art gallery to the diner) and corrupt the save file. <br />
The cutscenes should be skipped to avoid this.<br />
<br />
A save file made right after these cutscenes is available [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/392-deadly-premonition-replacement-save-file-episode-2-chapter-9/ here].<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Screen saver mode deletes save files===<br />
{{ii}} Save files will delete themselves if the game is left running and your computer goes into screen saver mode. To avoid this, remember to quit the game before leaving it unattended or disable screen saver mode.<br />
<br />
===The game fails to restore resolution settings===<br />
{{ii}} The game may fail to change the desktop resolution back to the previous one (by default it launches at 640x480 fullscreen).<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set the startup resolution|ref={{cn|date=November 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Create the [[#Game data|configuration file location]] if it doesn't exist.<br />
# Open it and create a file called {{file|Environment.cfg}}.<br />
# To set the resolution and refresh rate, add <code>VID_MODE=1920 1080 32 60</code><br />
# Or to start the game in windowed mode, add <code>VID_MODE=desktop</code><br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Issues fixed==<br />
===Game window too large for monitor===<br />
{{ii}} If you're running Windows 7/8/10 and the game window doesn't fit on your monitor when in full screen mode, you may need to lower the scaling on font size. Display Settings > Change the size of text.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Open properties of the {{file|DarkAthena.exe}} in the {{folder|Win32_x86}} folder, go to <code>Compatibility</code>, <code>Change high DPI settings</code>, and in the <code>High DPI scaling override</code>, check the box so that the <code>Application</code> setting will be active. Press <code>OK</code> and <code>Apply</code>.}}<br />
<br />
===Unexpected error (13:6)===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Update [http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm?page=minimum.htm TAGES]}}<br />
<br />
===Incorrect refresh rate every time game is launched===<br />
{{ii}} Open {{file|Environment.cfg}} (located in {{folder|{{p|localappdata}}\Atari\The Chronicles of Riddick - Assault on Dark Athena}}) and make sure that VID_DWIDTH and VID_DHEIGHT are set to the correct values.<br />
<br />
===Crash to desktop on launch===<br />
Use Compatibility Mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.<br />
<br />
===Slow Performance===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable Threaded optimization (Nvidia only)|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/chronicles_of_riddick_the/riddickuloasly_bad_lag_on_even_lowest_settingsresolution_on_modern_rig_wtf/post4|title=gog.com|date=17 May 2023}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Run Nvidia Control Panel,<br />
# Select or add Chronicles of Riddick.<br />
# Set <code>Threaded optimization</code> to <code>Off</code>.<br />
# Press "Apply Changes" in the top-right corner.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This can also be done through the in game menu, though it might be ignored.<br />
{{++}} Helps with performance when using SSAO.<br />

# Open console with {{key|Ctrl|Alt|~}}.<br />
# Enter <code>bind f5 savegame('quick')</code> and <code>bind f8 loadgame('quick')</code><br />
# Press {{key|F5}} to save and {{key|F8}} to load.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} The key bindings are lost when you quit the game. Use {{key|down}}/{{key|up}} in the console for quick access to your recent commands.<br />
{{ii}} The game uses {{key|F9}} to load the most recent save by default.<br />

===Reduce Bloom-like fog===<br />

# Open console with {{key|Ctrl|Alt|`}}.<br />
# Enter <code>xr_zfog 0</code>.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} The setting is not saved when you quit the game. Use {{key|down}}/{{key|up}} in the console for quick access to the command so you can easily reapply it next time you're playing.<br />
{{--}} This removes all fog, not just the one surrounding the player.<br />
{{--}} Makes your "night vision" while crouched in the intro completely dark instead of slightly lit.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Soft Shadows===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Softens the shadows.|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Open console with {{key|Ctrl|Alt|`}}.<br />
# Enter <code>XR_SOFTSTENCIL 1</code>.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{--}} Has a fairly hefty performance penalty.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Higher Resolution Shadows===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Higher Resolution Shadows|ref=|fix=<br />
# Open console with {{key|Ctrl|Alt|`}}.<br />
# Enter <code>xr_shadowmapmode = 0</code>.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Replaces the low resolution combed shadows with stencil shadows. Translucent textures lose their shadows, but in combination with <code>xr_softstencil 1</code> they return in higher resolution.<br />
