USES GFWL
Gotham City Impostors is a multiplayer FPS game.
Windows
Version Differences
Gotham City Impostors uses Games For Windows Live (GFWL). GFWL is used for matchmaking and is required at all times. You can purchase and run the game through Steam, but it is not necessary to have Steam running in order to play.
Serial Key
A serial key needs to be entered into Games For Windows Live (GFWL) no matter which store the game is bought from. This is also true for DLC.
Issues And Fixes
Windows 8 Consumer Preview
The start-up issue is caused by the Bink Video Encoder used on all the videos. Removing the videos from the game folder solves the problem.
Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\gotham city impostors\Game
and rename or delete the interface
directory.
Matchmaking Issues
This is reportedly fixed in a patch.[1]
It is possible that opening the Xbox Live standard ports will allow matchmaking to work better.[2]
Performance And FPS Slowdown
Run Outside Of Steam
It's possible to run the game outside of Steam, which allows the game to benefit from not running the overlay.
Go to: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\gotham city impostors\Impostors.exe
Run the game from Impostors.exe
instead of Steam.
Setting Process Affinity To High Priority
Once the game is running, it is possible to set the game to run at a higher affinity.
Whilst running the game, open task manager and set the Engine.exe
and Impostors.exe
affinity to 'high'.
Installation Problems
Run External Installers
Running the external installers (following the main game installation) may resolve a number of issues. Run the following installers:
...\steamapps\common\gotham city imposter\redist\directX\DXSETUP.exe
...\steamapps\common\gotham city imposter\redist\GFWL\Gfwlivesetup.exe
...\steamapps\common\gotham city imposter\redist\visualStudio\vcredist_x86.exe
Reboot your computer and test any issues again.
Windows XP Problem
This issue may occur whilst using Windows XP.[3]
- Exit Steam.
- Go to the "Start" menu, select "Run", type "regedit" and click "OK".
- Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE
- Right click and select "Permissions"
- Check the "Allow" boxes for "Admin" and "System" for both "Full control" and "Read".
Graphical Tweaks
Field Of Vision (FOV) Fixes
This game has received a number of fixes through a patch, including an FOV slider.[4]
System Requirements
General Information
Forums
XP Boosts
Boosts must be redeemed through Games For Windows Live (GFWL).[5]
