Issues fixed
Freeze when loading data from CD
For some reason, even if a full version of a game is installed, some data is still being loaded from CD. This may result in a freeze when using physical compact disk, due to game waiting for a disc drive to spin the disc and load a data from it.
Fixing freezing using Windows registry[citation needed]
|
- Perform a full installation of the game.
- Open the Registry Editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\The Collective Studios inc.\Deep Space Nine The Fallen\ds9thefallen
- Copy the value of
installpath and paste it to CdPath .
|
Fixing freezing using virtual CD drive[citation needed]
|
- Install a game from a virtual CD drive.
- Run a game using an image in virtual CD drive.
|
Camera keeps spinning, when a Joystick is enabled
Lower joystick sensitivity[citation needed]
|
- Open a console by pressing ~.
- Type in:
preferences .
- Open a Joystick tab.
- Lower both ScaleRUV and Scale XYZ values.
|
MSI Afterburner issues
Change the settings in RivaTuner[citation needed]
|
Depending on the setting, the overlay may not be shown, or the game may crash upon pressing the overlay button.
- After launching MSI Afterburner, open the RivaTunerStatisticsServer from the system tray.
- Add
ds9.exe from <path-to-game>\system to the settings.
