See reference for location that provided fixes for following table: [1]

Issue Fix
The frame rate can be very low with AMD and Crossfire enabled. Disable Crossfire
Surround Sound speaker option is greyed out / not selectable Confirm Windows sound settings are correctly configured for 5.1/7.1
Risen 2 Fails to Launch / Hangs on launch
  • Verify Game Integrity
Right click on Risen 2 in the Steam interface
Properties
Local files
Verify integrity of game cache

If this does not fix issue attempt below:

  • Run these installers and reboot the computer afterward:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\risen 2\redist\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\risen 2\redist\PhysX\PhysX_SystemSoftware.exe
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\risen 2\redist\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe
When starting up the game, the menu loads fine. But once the intro movie reaches Caldera, the screen becomes mostly black

ATI Video Card User's Only

  • In the Catalyst Control Center, change the "Texture Filtering Quality" to High Quality
  • Set anti-aliasing AA in catalyst to use application settings and turn on vsync; then in the game, turn off AA and keep vsync
The game does not start. The screen remains black except for an "Frequency out of range" error message
  • Parameters may be incorrect in the ConfigUser.xml file
In the section <Window>, you should verify that the values are correct:
AdapterNumber="0"
Top="0"
Bottom="768"
Left="0"
Right="1024"
RefreshRate="85"
  • Option 2 - You can also try to rename the ConfigUser.xml file (the next time you restart the game, it will recreate a default configuration file)
Dropping FPS with nvidia graphic cards
