Fix low mouse sensitivity
Configure user.ini
|
This game has extremely low mouse sensitivity on the highest setting, especially if pointer precision is disabled on Windows, and the mouse is not of high DPI.
- Open
<Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\57900\remote\user.ini
- Set
MouseSensitivity to your desired value above 10.000000
Optionally, decrease MouseAccelDampening , as mouse smoothing makes overall sensitivity slower.
Changing settings in-game reverts these changes and setting the file as read-only breaks the game.
Make this .ini edit after configuring key bindingd etc.

There is a mod that allows the pc version of the main campaign in Japanese, albeit without the dub that was avaliable on consoles [1]. There apparently was work done to make the dlc work in Japanese as well, but no links seem to remain. |

Issues fixed
DukeForever.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Broken vehicle physics
- At high framerates, certain vehicle jumps are impossible to successfully complete, even with correct timing and boost usage.
Limiting the frame rate to 60fps
|
|
Enable Vsync and set refresh rate to 60 Hz[11]
|
Blurry graphics
Disable Post Special Effects[citation needed]
|
The game's depth of field effect results in unusually heavy blurring of the graphics. Disabling Post Special Effects will disable the depth of field and make the graphics much crisper, but will also disable tone mapping, bloom, and ambient occlusion.
|
Mods
- Duke Nukem Forever: Enhanced - This mod overhauls the gameplay while also adding quick saves,removes weapon limit and Depth of Field effect for new post processing effects

Notes
- ↑ They state Duke Nukem Forever as engine in game files and in interviews they use the term "Duke Engine", but it's closer in file structure to Unreal Engine 1 games with many issues either absorbed from later iterations of the engine or entirely unique.[3][4]
