Alien: Isolation is a singleplayer first-person survival horror, stealth, action and shooter game in the Alien series.
The PC version lacks a voice detection feature from the console versions where the player must maintain the microphone's noise level during the game.
The anti-aliasing that ships with the game is rather poor but can be improved.[3] See Anti-aliasing (AA).

Anti-aliasing (AA)
- The built-in anti-aliasing methods don't clean up aliasing and shimmering on high-contrast edges well enough, thus it might be preferable to use TAA instead, which will provide better performance than using downsampling methods such as NVIDIA's DSR.

Issues fixed
Missing sound-effects (High FPS Issues)
- When frame-rates are high, there are issues playing audio sound effects during the following (known) scenarios:
- "Alien kills Ripley" death scenes.
- "Working Joe kills Ripley" death scenes
- "Ripley struggles against Working Joe" combat scenes
{{Fixbox|description=Cap FPS with RTSS|ref=[10]|fix=
- Download and install MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner.
- In RivaTuner, create a new profile for (
AI.exe
). - Limit frame rate to 105FPS and enable
Custom Direct3D Support
for (AI.exe
) in RivaTuner.
Notes
- It is possible that there are other, higher frame rates than 105 FPS that also fix the issue, but this is unexplored. If limiting to 105 FPS doesn't work, try lowering it to 100 FPS.
Enable V-sync in Graphics Options and set refresh rate to 60 Hz[citation needed] |
---|
Game shows "Disk access" error while loading
Run the game (AI.exe ) as administrator
|
---|
Give full permissions to your user on installation folder[citation needed] |
---|
Brightness issues
- When using a flamethrower or plasma cutter, there is a chance that the whole screen will become excessively bright and blurry. The issue is likely connected with the trainer for the game.
Change anti-aliasing setting in game options[citation needed] |
---|
Turn off any trainers[citation needed] |
---|
Crashing every 15 minutes on Windows 10
- Game plays normally but crashes every 10 to 15 minutes on Windows 10. This issue is caused by a touch screen keyboard service.
Disable touch screen keyboard service[11][12] |
