Essential improvements
- Serious Sam XPLUS is a mod that enhances the textures, using the HD version textures.
- Updates for non-Steam versions of the game can be downloaded from Serious Zone. (The link is dead, however the Steamify update for non-Steam versions can also be downloaded from Mod DB).
- The game seems to choose the lowest screen refresh rate available to the monitor. In order to change the screen refresh rate, press ~ (or the key above Tab) to open the console, enter the line:
gap_iRefreshRate=60
(or whatever refresh rate desired) then restart the game. - If the game doesn't recognize the graphics card, try changing Direct3D mode to OpenGL, and vice versa. If that doesn't work, let the game run on windowed mode by pressing Alt+↵ Enter and try again.
Source ports
Serious Engine: Ray Traced

Non-standard resolutions still need to be edited manually and can't be selected in-game, but FOV does not need to be adjusted for Hor+ ultrawide gameplay. Download the Steam executable here and replace the original executable located in
<path-to-game>/Bin/
instead of the method below to get access to widescreen resolutions in-game. Alternatively, download Steamify, extract the archive and copySeriousSam.exe
from theBin
