Issues fixed

Graphical artifacts/glitches

This issue only appears with AMD Radeon cards, updating to the latest driver might fix it.[1]

Game runs too fast

The game runs best with a refresh rate of 60Hz. Try setting your monitor to this.[2]
Instructions
  • Running the game in fullscreen will force 60 FPS (i.e. normal game speed) on a 60Hz monitor.[2]
  • Setting the -r launch option to force frame limiting - the game may take a performance hit, but can help lock it to 60 FPS.[2]
Instructions

FPS issues/slow gameplay

  • Using the "Fixed" frame rate method will activate frame skips which will allow the game to run at regular speed. Online play is always rendered using the Fixed frame rate method.[2]
  • Setting backgrounds to "Static" will drastically reduce processing, thus increasing FPS.[2]
  • Try running the game in windowed mode.[2]
Instructions

Game crash after intro logos

Official Microsoft Windows Media Player codecs are required to run the videos in KOFXIIISE.
