Scarface: The World Is Yours is a singleplayer third-person action, open world and shooter game.
The PC-port is missing the effects that cause windshields on cars to look broken on the console versions; the windshield is now either fully intact or totally destroyed. The PC-port also misses blood effects on clothing and skin from the PlayStation 2 version.[1][2]
Graphics are corrupted on modern versions of Windows. See Corrupted graphics on modern systems.

Very slow in-game mouse-movement
- Negative mouse acceleration is forced in-game and can't be disabled. It gets significantly worse the higher your mouse polling rate is high or DPI is low. It can cause very slow mouse-movement in-game, making it hard to accurately aim with your weapon.[14] There are no known fixes for this issue, only a few workarounds that make the game playable.
Workaround: Lower the mouse's polling rate through hardware or software options to a lower value like 125hz[15] |
---|
Workaround: Set mouse DPI very high to a value like 12000 through hardware or software options[16] |

Run the game at screen refresh rate
- The game defaults to a 60 Hz refresh rate. Enforcing a 60 FPS cap is still recommended.
Override refresh rate set by game[17] |
