- Original version re-released as a Free to Play title; see Availability.
Availability
- The Free to Play version requires Steam instead of Games for Windows Live.
- Migrating from the original release to the Free to Play version unlocks additional bonuses; see Migration to Steam.
Games for Windows Live version issues
- The following issues may not apply to the Free to Play version.
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 for some people.
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]
