Version differences
- The German Edition only includes the German language and has content differences (e.g. no swastikas).
Essential improvements
Restore cache files
- The texture cache folder is not made by the game so the cache is regenerated for each session.
- This can fix stuttering in the game.
- Or in some cases will slightly decrease FPS (e.g. with SSD and/or low details).

Notes
|
Skip intro videos
Skip intro videos[2] |
---|
Warning - this can cause subsequent cutscenes to not play for some users sometimes causing the game to exit to desktop (game will load further level after relaunch). To prevent exits, use this blank bik file. It still won't speed up game loading on startup, but effect's like deleting the file. New Order's skip intro command doesn't work. |
Enable the console
Open the console with Ctrl+~ or Ctrl+\. |

FPS issues and drops
Change binary name and create text file[4] |

Solution presumably for AMD GPUs
Do not delete the WolfOldBlood_x64 file or else it won't work. Make sure that the two laucnh file are in the game folder, WolfOldBlood_x64 and WolfOldBlood_x32. Steamless binary update 1 achieves few FPS more. For extra performance in some scenarios, keep Steam in background, in offline mode, with Internet connection disabled. |
Set specific level of certain details[5] |

|
Force the game to use copied AMD OpenGL driver (atioglxx.dll)[9] |
---|
Search for atioglxx.dll inside Windows folder, or use this one. Then copy the file inside the game folder.
